Abstract

Unicamp is making progress in making its energy consumption more efficient through partnerships with companies in the electricity sector and projects carried out within the scope of the Coordination of Sustainability. Despite already being able to report a reduction of around 10% in energy consumption during the last four years, it is important for Unicamp to be able to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable operation. The Energy Efficiency Project aims to reduce the university's electricity consumption by 30% by 2030. For this purpose, it is divided into three sub projects aimed at saving energy, modernizing, and improving buildings and the university's sustainability indicators. The Unicamp 100% Led subproject foresees the replacement of conventional lamps by 18W LED tube lamps. The Sustainability in the Air subproject aims to replace old air conditioning equipment with efficient equipment. And the + Photovoltaic subproject aims to increase the generation of photovoltaic energy on the roofs of university buildings. The main goal of this is to report the implementation process of this project, its challenges, results achieved and indicators. The result of this explanation can be used as an example so that other universities can advance in the sustainable management of electric energy.

Abstract

The Strategic Sustainability Action Plan (PAESUS) at Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp) ensures a structured and predictable approach to sustainability investments, in line with the university's 2021-2025 Strategic Plan and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The initiative integrates sustainability into academic, operational, and governance practices, promoting long-term environmental impact. In its Year Zero, PAESUS implemented pilot projects across Unicamp’s campuses, focusing on energy efficiency, water conservation, waste management, and climate resilience. In 2024, the first public call for projects attracted 17 proposals, with 10 selected for development in 2025, based on a prioritization matrix evaluating impact and feasibility. The program secured R$3 million in additional and immediate investments, reinforcing initiatives in climate action, sustainable mobility, and resource optimization. With integrated governance and interdisciplinary collaboration, PAESUS fosters innovation and strengthens Unicamp’s sustainable management culture. Progress is monitored using global sustainability indicators, such as UI GreenMetric and THE Impact, ensuring accountability and continuous improvement. By advancing strategic sustainability actions, PAESUS positions Unicamp as a leader in sustainable development within higher education, offering a model for other institutions to follow.
