A number of initiatives have been undertaken throughout Augustenborg to increase resource efficiency by up to 20% compared to 1995 levels Measures to increase energy efficiency have been undertaken throughout the neighbourhood, optimising heating and hot water systems and cutting electricity use.
MKB have launched a pilot project to find the most efficnet and equitable system for individual charging for heat and hot water which are both currently included in the rent. Some residents have taken part in a programme to weigh in their CO2 and then work together to find ways of decreasing their carbon footprint.
The inhabitants of Augustenborg have been questioning why they didn´t have any renewable energy production in their area. That became the start of a new project between the city, Malmö University, E.ON and MKB which today has led to a 450 m2 solar thermal plant and 100m2 photovoltaics producing hot water for the district heating system and electricity. The football pitch has been fitted with underground piping to pump solar heat out of the ground all summer and the residual heat from the ground all winter, producing hot water for the district heating system. As a side effect, when the temperature drops below 5 degrees, an ice rink can be created, offering the kids from the school and neighbourhood a new and exciting experience.
