Abstract

Energy consumption at Universities follows specific standards related to the development of its education, research, and extension activities. For these activities’ continuity, the supply of energy must have a high level of reliability, without, however, compromising the economic sustainability of the institutions. That is because energy expenditures, in some cases, can be relevant for Universities, especially to public institutions in developing countries, which routinely deal with budget restrictions. On the other hand, energy efficiency and rational energy consumption, have a direct impact on these organizations' environmental sustainability indicators, such as their carbon footprint. In this sense, considering that the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul faces economic challenges, which often make investments in innovative technologies impossible, we compare strategies to optimize its energy consumption. These strategies should achieve better levels of emission reduction and economic costs related to this resource. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze how Public Universities, in developing countries, can optimize their energy consumption, even under budget restrictions. To this end, the results from three strategies adopted by the University, since 2016, to reduce the energy consumption are discussed: (i) increased individual monitoring of consumption points; (ii) optimization and detailed analysis of energy consumption data; and (iii) extensive implementation of reduced summer hours. With the adoption of these practices, it was observed an annual reduction in energy consumption of 6% and 20%, reaching 33.70% on average during the summer period. Thus, it was possible to guide the energy policies of the University, which can change consumption patterns, leading to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and a better economic equilibrium

Abstract

Since it was founded in 1998, the University of Milano-Bicocca has worked to make its structures environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable, not only to reduce the costs and environmental impact of its management processes, but also to promote sustainable behaviour on the part of its employees, lecturers and students. This report focuses on the measures implemented by the university in order to make food consumption and lifestyles healthier and more sustainable. Inspired by nudge theory (according to which in order to achieve a change in behaviour it is necessary to act on indirect encouragement and enablement rather than on direct instruction, enforcement and punishment), these measures aimed to promote healthier and more appropriate styles of food consumption, in particular at university canteens. The interventions were oriented both towards offering healthier products and towards modifying the environment in order to encourage more balanced food choices. The programme of interventions was divided into three phases: firstly an investigation of eating behaviours and lifestyles; secondly planning the interventions; and finally evaluating the project and disseminating good practices

Abstract

Today, many universities are trying to move towards sustainability by observing the principles of environment and green management. In this regard, the issue of green university has been considered by many countries in recent years, and many efforts have been made to join (UIGWURN (UI GreenMetric World University Rankings Network)). Isfahan University of Technology (IUT), as one of the top higher education universities in Iran, has taken fundamental steps to implement "Green Management" and has achieved honors in this regard. Some of the measures taken are extensive educational and research activities in the field of environment as well as executive measures for the university campus, including Xeriscaping, energy efficiency, clean energy use, water consumption management, waste and wastewater management, green buildings, and transportation. The implementation of these measures has led to significant results in reducing water and energy consumption, reduction of all types of pollutions following the use of clean energy, as well as saving consumption costs.

Abstract

Water management is one of the most challenging aspects of campus management. With a large number on campus population and limited water resources, water management is essential for achieving a resilient and healthy campus. In this paper, we explain two targets in UGM water management: water efficiency and water conservation. Both objectives are significantly related; however, each goal has a different approach to the method for the design approach and strategies in the implementations. Water efficiency is included in building new buildings and retrofitting the existing ones. Meanwhile, water conservation is implemented to calculate potential alternative water resources in UGM, including water treatment, to produce freshwater as an additional water supply. We also explain how water management is implemented in UGM from the highest Directorate to the lowest units. Through our method and best practices in UGM, we hope our paper could be a reference for other universities who want to implement a water management program.

Abstract

Universities are the training centers for future decision-makers in the social, political and economic sectors. Considering the university campus as an urban locus or even a microcosm of society, the change that begins in the urban planning of a university is an opportunity for example and replication in the city. This paper presents the development of the Unicamp Urban Masterplan, a strategic project of the university that involves the participation of all-around social actors: professors, students, researches, staff and local community and brings the actual panorama, the future scenarios and the guidelines to achieve them. It is organized through six planning areas: 1. Urban usage and heritage; 2. Environment; 3. Urban infrastructure; 4. Mobility and accessibility; 5. Social interaction; and 6. University and society. Projects resulting from these guidelines should be developed through living laboratories. Campus territories and their evolution are monitored through performance indicators aligned with the UI GreenMetric sustainable university ranking process indicators. This paper explains the methodology in which the urban projects be implemented through living laboratories to put into practice the SDGs, as necessary action for the transition to sustainability in the campuses. The use of the university campuses as a living laboratory results in the transformation of the Unicamp space and impel the replication to transform the local community to sustainability and to disseminate solutions to the cities and other universities

Abstract

Although sustainable development focuses on continuing the progress of societies without putting future resources and the environment at risk, new technologies, political treaties and economic initiatives are not enough. In this context, the role of universities is fundamental in the formation of leaders that allow raising awareness in society, and in the implementation of pilot projects that can be quickly adjusted and scaled. ESPOCH forms sustainability competencies with a formal focus, by including courses in environmental sustainability within all study curricula, as well as with a non-formal focus through extracurricular activities such as tree planting, avoiding the use of private vehicles, among others. Regarding management, projects such as the replacement of campus luminaires with high-efficiency LED lights, reducing energy consumption from 69 kWh-day to 11.5 KWh-day and the construction of intelligent buildings that will allow efficient management of resources and spaces are being carried out. The feedback obtained from ESPOCH’s participation in UI GreenMetric World University Rankings has allowed the university leaders, professors and students to identify the sectors that should be addressed as a priority and propose solutions to them considering sustainable development approaches.
