The University of Twente is a large consumer of various energy resources, enabling 3500 researchers and 11500 students to develop and learn about new technologies. In the past few years, all metering of energy consumption has been digitized and bundled into a central system, our Energy Data Platform. In addition to the energy data platform, UT has now also made its flight data accessible.
Energy Data platform
The Energy Data platform has been built with full transparency in mind and therefore opens all energy-related data up to the public. By giving everyone a chance to have insight into the data, we create more awareness among students and staff and we gather new insights into our energy consumption. This will lead to more efficient ways to do research and teach students, which helps lowering our consumption of electricity, gas, warmth and water.
The Energy Data platform is also seeing increased internal use by Campus and Facility Management, because it has a wide range of analysis features and corrects erroneous metering data. In the future, it will also entail predefined views to compare energy consumption trends before and after taking sustainable measures.

Dashboard Ut Flights
Dashboard UT Flights is available for UT staff
The dashboard provides insight into the number of flights, the distance travelled in kilometres and the associated CO₂ emissions of UT staff. The data can be viewed at UT-wide, unit and department level. The dashboard can be accessed via this link.
Manual dashboard UT Flights
On the top right, the filter menu (3 dashes) can be used to choose the desired cross-section. The first tab shows a summary of the main topics and the following tabs show a deepening of the topics. At the Timelines tab, you can see the data by day, month and quarter. See also the explanation on this tab. On the Comparisons tab, you can see a good comparison between this year's and last year's quarters.
