2022: Energy-Saving Contest of Heidelberg Student Residences 2022/23

Studierendenwerk Heidelberg and BUND Heidelberg are launching the largest-ever student residence contest on the subject of energy-saving in Heidelberg to date.

In an energy-saving competition lasting several months, several dormitories compete against each other in two groups. The prize for both groups is a dorm party. The competition is actively supported by an information campaign by BUND Heidelberg and a tutorial by the Studierendenwerk.

The backdrop of the competition, our current energy crisis, is daunting for everyone. So let’s get ourselves motivated by the challenge it poses:

• We want our planet to stay a good place for humans and other beings. To this end, we have to become climate-neutral until 2030.
• In times of an energy war we are morally obliged to make our available energy last for everyone.

So let us avoid a waste of energy wherever possible!

On 24 October, an energy-saving competition between various student halls of residence will be launched

• 15 halls of residence owned by the Studierendenwerk Heidelberg will enter a competition:
• 7 identical buildings in “Neuenheimer Feld” will compete against each other, and 8 identical buildings in “Holbeinring”.

The competition will run throughout the winter term for 14 weeks. Be part of it and join in with your residence hall peers to win a party for your hall!
