UNEFE participates in the III Interuniversity Conference on energy management

The objective of this meeting is to discuss energy management in the university environment and expose various success stories, including that of the URJC.

The Carlos III University of Madrid (UC3M) and the Fulton group organize the III Interuniversity Conference in which representatives of various companies and universities from Andalusia, Aragon, Catalonia, Madrid and Valencia will be present. These conferences are mainly aimed at university managers, although they are also open to people and companies linked in some way to the university world.

The Energy Efficiency Unit (UNEFE) is participating in this meeting, which will take place on June 6 and 7 at the UC3M Getafe campus, to explain how the implementation of the energy management system has been carried out in the URJC.

The Rey Juan Carlos University has a high commitment to the environment and therefore contributes to improving citizen well-being and environmental sustainability. To achieve this goal, UNEFE has been created, whose purpose is to improve the energy performance of the URJC and other public or private entities.

One of the main achievements has been obtaining the certification according to the UNE ISO 50001:2011 Standard (in 2014), which has made it possible to give greater visibility, both internally and externally, to all actions aimed at saving and energy efficiency. that have been developed at the URJC since 2011. In addition, an Energy Management System (SGE) has been created with the aim of reducing greenhouse gases and other harmful impacts, while managing to contain energy costs.
