Energy efficiency at Iscte increases by 30% due to the renovation carried out in the buildings

2026-04-27

Between May 2023 and June 2026, Iscte has an environmental intervention plan underway that has already made it possible to significantly improve the
efficiency of its buildings:

- 32.8% reduction in primary energy consumption,

- 36.3% reduction in annual CO₂ equivalent emissions, and

- reduction of around 40% in water consumption

This renovation of the building was made possible by an agreement signed with the
Environmental Fund, within the scope of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), with the
purpose of energy renovation in the buildings on the Lisbon campus. The project represents a total investment of over 4.1 million euros, of which 3.8 million are financed by the PRR.

The intervention includes the replacement of glazed openings, installation of LED lighting systems, renovation of HVAC systems (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), application of thermal insulation, installation of photovoltaic panels and the implementation of a centralized technical management system in several buildings.

At the same time, with initiatives to raise awareness and involve the academic community, Iscte's commitment to environmental sustainability and energy efficiency is reinforced.

This is the framework of the Iscte Interactive Sustainability Guide, based on the Iscte Sustainability Report 2023 and 2024, which resulted in good partnership between Iscte services (GEQS, SIE, GC) and the Student Association (AEISCTE).  This played an important role
in aligning the tool with the students' reality, promoting
a more participatory and effective approach in raising awareness of sustainable
practices.

The guide, aimed at students, brings together information, recommendations and good practices to promote more sustainable habits in everyday life and will be launched on May 6th, as part of the Sustainability Fair, organized by AEISCTE.
