Energy

Renewable energy has been very important for Trix since its start-up in 2004. Over the years we have continued to implement changes and optimisations. We are now in the final phase of a multi-year project from a gradual switch to functional LED lighting. In addition, Eneco is our energy supplier, so 100% green energy!

In 2014, an extensive energy scan was carried out in collaboration with the Energy Cell of the city of Antwerp. This resulted in a partnership with the city to make permanent improvements to our building. For example, in the near future (2022 or 2023) solar panels will be installed on the roof of Trix.

Do more with less energy

Evolution of real energy consumption (gas + electricity, entire location, in kWh)

From 2011 (start of energy measurement) to 2019, gas consumption decreased by +/- 35% and electricity by +/- 45%. By using energy in a smarter way and making small investments over the years, we systematically reduced energy consumption.

If you take into account that the total number of activities in Trix has increased in recent years up to COVID-19 in 2020, you can conclude that the energy consumption has been significantly reduced. We do more with less energy. In 2020, consumption decreased remarkably as a result of the pandemic. Compared to 2011, total consumption decreased by 58.5%.
