Samenvatting

The question is, can the faculties provide data on their energy consumption to raise energy awareness with students and employees? Typically, campus cafeterias show us how it's done and set a good example by displaying the carbon dioxide emission score of the daily menu. The challenge typically lies in the fact that the data on energy use, recycling, waste, etc. is stored in the university administration – not in the individual departments. We report on the journey of finding qualitative data and framing a compelling case. We draw on empirical data of the School of Computer Science and Information Technology (CS&IT) – a part of the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts. The CS&IT aims at an energy-efficient campus, and it want to demonstrate how innovation and responsibility go hand in hand . the data, finding appropriate ways of assessing data to generate an appropriate energy bulletin. This paper reports on the journey and question: How can university departments access data on their energy
consumption to raise energy use awareness among students and employees? The paper draws on empirical data of the department we are employed as lecturers and researchers.
