WarmteStad

The UG will connect its buildings on the Zernike Campus to WarmteStad's sustainable heat network.

Connections

In 2025, Nijenborgh 4, Blauwborgje 10, Nadorstplein 2a, 2d and 3, Duisenberg and the Smitsborg will be connected. The Bernoulliborg and Linnaeusborg are scheduled for 2027.

The Sports Centre was connected to WS in November 2024. Since the infrastructure was already here, it was a relatively minor intervention. In the few years this building will be there, we will already save 85,000 m3 of gas per year (181,000 kg of CO2). That is comparable to the annual gas consumption of 71 households.

Connecting the 9 buildings and 3 tennis halls is a logical step towards achieving the goal of a gas-free Zernike Campus in 2026, and the legally required reduction of CO2.
