Lights out!

The oceans are warming up, glaciers are retreating, the deserts are spreading: in order to prevent the worst effects of climate change, we must consume significantly less energy, switch to environmentally friendly renewable energies and protect the forests and oceans for climate regulation. Politics must create framework conditions, companies must save greenhouse gases, but each and every one must show responsibility!

In order to raise awareness in this regard, the WWF EARTH HOUR – the world's largest climate protection campaign - will once again be held this year. On March 24, 2018, from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm local time, people around the globe will let the lights go out and thus set an active example for more climate protection.

Energy management of OeKB

Not only at the EARTH HOUR, but 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, we strive to keep our energy consumption as low as possible. Therefore, we have, for example, consciously decided not to have facade lighting. We continuously monitor and optimize energy consumption at all our locations. For example, we use waste heat to heat the Strauchgasse location. The building can now be heated up to an outside temperature of 6 ° C exclusively with waste heat.
