In (at least) the main FASoS building lamps are on all day during long summers, while the sun is everywhere. I have been complaining about this for several years to the facilities manager and the director of the faculty. But they don’t give the impression this might be something relevant. Also, the heating and airco are used in a non sustainable way. I think the sustainability performance at our faculty is not extremely ambitious.

Dear Maarten, I only joined FASoS last year, so it is good to get feedback from staff who have been here longer. My own experience with lights is that you sometimes need them even during summer to avoid reflections on the smart screens… and in some classrooms, I am struggling with turning them off again after class. We will absolutely discuss this further among the Sustainability Platform members. And, please, take the survey if you can spare the time. Input from different members of the faculty is vital.
