Abstract

This study focus on calculating the carbon footprint from the activities of the Universitas Airlangga. CO2 emission calculations were carried out using the UI GreenMetric method and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in two periods: before the Covid-19 pandemic and during the Covid-19 pandemic. Activities at Universitas Airlangga that produce carbon footprints are divided into two main sources, first, primary sources that come from direct combustion of fuel into energy, such as burning fuel in motorized vehicles and a secondary source that comes from an indirect source of using electricity in the campus area. The results showed that in the period before the pandemic, the total carbon emissions, based on the IPCC calculation method, were 23.830,34 tons of CO2-eq/year. Meanwhile, based on the UI GreenMetric method, a total carbon emission of 26.325,36 tons of CO2-eq/year was obtained. As for the time period during the pandemic, Universitas Airlangga's total carbon emissions obtained based on the IPCC calculation method were 20.506,69 tons of CO2-eq/year. Meanwhile, based on the UI GreenMetric method, a total carbon emission of 22.321,63 tons of CO2-eq/year was obtained. Secondary carbon footprint mapping is carried out to ascertain the distribution of secondary CO2 emissions produced by Universitas Airlangga. The secondary carbon footprint both before and during the Covid-19 pandemic was mostly generated by the Universitas Airlangga Hospital.

Abstract

Path to a Sustainable Country (in Spanish “Ruta País Sostenible”) is an institutional commitment that seeks to reinforce the importance of natural resources in the university community and promote learning based on experience. We make field trips around the country that connect nature and communities. The areas selected are the National Natural Parks (NNP) and the protected areas of Colombia (12% of the country's territory). This project has the intention to be closer to the territory´s realities. At the same time, we have an experiential analysis to develop academic projects that promote the conservation of ecosystem services, and the improvement of the quality of life of the surrounding communities.  Since 2022, we have made three field trips to the NNP: Chingaza (paramo), Bahía Málaga (mangrove), Desierto de la Tatacoa (tropical dry forest), El Zoque (andean forest), El Cocuy (Glacier). On those trips, we have had 150 participants among students, professors, staff, and alumni. We tested the most appropriate and effective sustainable learning process. The result indicated that 50% of people memorize the concepts when they directly observe nature and communities. Meanwhile, the second most successful tool was applied research (20%), followed by classes (16%), and finally, laboratory practices (14%).

Abstract

A sustainable university has been defined as a higher educational institution that addresses, involves and promotes the minimization of negative environmental, economic, societal, and health effects generated in the use of their resources in order to fulfil its functions of teaching, research, outreach and partnership, and stewardship in ways to help society make the transition to sustainable lifestyles. Earlier studies on green innovations have basically centered on the environmental benefits and were purely descriptive in nature. Several others examined the effect of green innovation on soil organic carbon by comparing street trees of species. The present study would contribute to literature using a mixed research approach to empirically investigate the contributions of green innovation on carbon storage and perceived environmental quality in Lagos State University, Nigeria. Data for the study were obtained by collecting 100 surface (0 – 15cm) soil samples with the aid of a soil auger under campus trees, grasses, ornamental trees and vegetables (Amaranthus and green vegetable farms) across different land uses on campus. Also, data on green characteristics (tree height, tree size, canopy cover, density of herbs, basal cover and herbaceous cover) were measured using different ecological procedures, while 655 questionnaire copies were administered to staff and students to ascertain their perceived environmental quality of green innovation. Data obtained were analyzed using averages, simple percentages, One-Way Analysis of Variance, multiple regression analysis and principal components analysis. The results obtained showed that carbon storage significantly varied among the green innovation components with canopy cover contributing over 55% of carbon storage. The study revealed that canopy cover and tree size substantially contributed in carbon storage with canopy cover being more effective. PCA result identified beautification of LASU (19.8%), flood control (18.8%), promotion of urban ecology (15.8%) and improvement in air quality (9.5%) as the principal dimensions or perceived environmental quality of green innovation. The result further showed that green innovation characteristics have significant relationship with carbon storage. The study shows the importance of campus tree in carbon reduction and recommends the need for universities to give necessary recognition and incorporate these green components in physical planning.

Abstract

Since 2020, the University of a Coruña (UDC) has been developing an Energy Efficiency Plan that is already yielding its first beneficial results. An ambitious plan to renovate the building envelopes to make them thermally efficient, together with a determined policy of centralization in district heating and a commitment to photovoltaic solar energy on the roofs, constitute the essence of this Energy Efficiency Plan. The renewal of aerothermal heat pump systems, at the limit of their useful life, and the replacement of diesel boilers with aerothermal or gas boilers, which are more efficient and require less maintenance, is another major challenge. The climatic peculiarity of our area, a temperate oceanic climate with cool summers, allows the use of free cooling throughout the year with high performance. The widespread changeover of lighting to LED technology has been a determining factor in energy savings. We raise two fundamental questions to be determined for the proposed model plan: what indicators can we establish as efficient performance and what capacity does the model plan have to maintain its efficiency in another location.

Abstract

Implementing an organic waste management program is a crucial step in realizing a sustainable campus. Organic waste management such as yard waste management program in Sam Ratulangi University, Manado, is crucial to maintaining a sustainable environment. The university's efforts to implement sustainable waste management practices, such as recycling and create an alternative energy sources like biodigester, have significantly reduced the amount of waste sent to landfills and creates valuable resources such as heat and liquid organic fertilizer. The application of liquid organic fertilizer from a biodigester on the university's green house resulted in an increased Pakcoy growth parameters and productions. By using liquid organic fertilizer from a biodigester is a sustainable and effective way to fertilize green areas at Sam Ratulangi University. By implementing this practice, the university can reduce waste and support healthy plant growth while also promoting environmental stewardship.

Abstract

At Centro Universitário Senac - Santo Amaro Campus, several systems and services have been developed, whose integration, respecting sustainability and industrial ecology premises, promote the rationalization of water use, minimization of effluent generation, and reduction of the institution's socio-environmental impacts. With a total area of 154,000 m2, the campus's occupancy rate can reach 9,594 people/day. By installing faucets and showers with a timer and flow reducer, aiming to reduce water consumption and waste, a 30% reduction in monthly consumption was achieved. An Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) with an anaerobic UASB type stage, associated with an aerobic microbiological treatment system, processes more than 300 m3/day of effluent, treating practically 100% of the wastewater generated by the campus activities, which is converted into reuse water, subsequently used for garden irrigation, facade and floor cleaning, toilet flushing, water recharge for the air conditioning system's heat exchangers, and increasing the volume of treated water returned to the groundwater through a contaminated water treatment plant. A solar water heating system with recirculation provides hot water for kitchens and locker rooms without increasing energy and water consumption on the campus. The pool water is treated with ozone gas, more effective than chlorine and less aggressive to the environment. Education for Sustainability regularly carried out with campus users complements the integration of the systems and services offered.

Abstract

Traditionally, the separate collection of different fractions of waste in university centers was limited to the collection of paper/cardboard and packaging waste, while the collection of bio-waste was introduced only for dining and cafeteria services. It was based on the consideration that in general areas of the centers, such as classrooms, corridors, administrative areas, or offices, organic waste was not generated. However, eating habits and lifestyles have been changing and food remains becoming more frequent in these areas. The inspections carried out in the UDC in 2015 showed that 25% of the waste belonged to the bio-waste category, and subsequent inspections indicated that in some cases it may constitute the main waste fraction. Having verified this fact, the conclusion was that the intra-center waste segregation model should be revised, introducing a specific collector for bio-waste in all areas of the university centers. This communication describes the separate collection model and presents the results achieved in five centers of the UDC. The results achieved were very positive, approaching or exceeding in most cases the threshold of 85% correct content in the bins, a value that is considered minimum to classify it as a separate collection for quality recycling. The capture of materials for recycling exceeded 70% of the waste generated.
