The companies in the ExperTeach Group focus entirely on services. There is no industrial or manual production.
However, due to the operation of the ExperTeach Training Centers and the travel activities of our employees, there are various areas in which environmental aspects play a role. We take numerous measures to ensure that energy consumption and CO2 emissions are reduced.
Energy: Power Consumption and Cooling
- By raising the room temperature in our server rooms from around 22°C to 25°C, we save electricity for cooling all year round.
- In our Training Center Frankfurt/Dietzenbach, we use geothermal cooling (geocooling) to cool the server rooms and training rooms. This cooling is sufficient from October to May. Only from around June to September is more electricity required for additional cooling capacity. Thanks to the geocooling concept, we save between 70 and 80 MWh of electrical energy per year.
- We are continuously modernizing our IT hardware. We are reducing the power consumption of IT systems by using the latest devices and energy-efficient IT concepts.
Energy: Heating
- The ExperTeach team is required to set temperatures moderately during the heating period and to operate shock ventilation in the office and training rooms.
- Temperatures are lowered in unused rooms to avoid unnecessary heat consumption.
- An emergency plan is in place for a cold spell.
Building Certification
The German Sustainable Building Council - DGNB e.V. awards the DGNB certification. The following certifications are available for our locations:
- Training Center Düsseldorf/Sky Office: DGNB Gold certification is in preparation.
- Training Center Munich/Centre: DGNB Gold pre-certificate is available.
Water Consumption
- At the Frankfurt/Dietzenbach site, water for flushing toilets is obtained from a rainwater cistern. This saves valuable drinking water.
CO2 Reduction when Traveling
- The ExperTeach team is recommended to give preference to rail as an environmentally friendly mode of transport for business trips.
