The Facility Services department supports when it comes to additional furniture, keys or technical equipment as well as with cleaning.

The buildings of the ETH Campus Zentrum are supplied with environmentally friendly district heating. Thanks to district heating and the use of waste heat, ETH has been able to substantially reduce its consumption of fossil fuels to meet its total heating requirements. As a result, we are making a significant contribution to reducing CO2 emissions and improving air quality.

The district heating system of ETH Zurich in the Zentrum area was taken over by the City of Zurich on 1 January 2025 and is now operated by ewz.

Hönggerberg compost site

Green waste generated from working in the grounds is composted and reused. ETH members can obtain compost from the Grounds Office; you fill your own containers yourself: small amounts only, by prior arrangement.

The Facility Services department maintains all heating, ventilation, air conditioning, cooling, sanitation and electrical systems at ETH. We ensure that the entire infrastructure operates safely and economically.

Temperature in the lecture halls

The air conditioning systems in the lecture halls are set to an average temperature. If the temperature is considerably too high or too low, there may be a fault. Don’t hesitate to tell us your concerns so that we can check the system immediately: Real estate services portal
