Abstract

According to the International Energy Agency, energy and process emissions from buildings are responsible for nearly 33 % of global CO2 emissions in 2021; with two other leading sectors; transportation and industry with emissions of 22 % and 30 %, respectively. As a result, parallel with global signs of progress, the topic of energy efficiency and energy management in buildings has come to be a rule of energy policy in Cyprus International University (CIU) buildings. In Cyprus, similar to the reference of IEA, nearly 30% of the energy consumption is from the buildings, which is the most open to energy-saving measures. Since 2017, Sustainable Energy Research Centre in CIU has been working on the energy measures of CIU on both supply and demand sides. To increase the university’s sustainability further in the Energy and Climate section of both UI GreenMetrics and contribution to UN Sustainable Development Goals, conscious energy steps are taken both in energy saving and alternative renewable energy sources in the whole campus which resulted in making CIU a leading example of a sustainable university campus in the Middle-East as it holds the 3rd place for the most sustainable university campus in the region according to UI GreenMetrics World Sustainable University Ranking in 2022. In this paper, an energy audit study will be presented which evaluates the total energy load and energy-saving potential on campus and propose measures that should be taken. In order to conduct this study, Education and Humanities (EH) Building is taken as the pilot study which considers a detailed audit and actions to minimize energy consumption. Then the findings obtained from this energy efficiency study are generalized to all existing buildings on the campus and the expected effect of energy efficiency attempts is projected. These results are joined with the future alternative energy projects planned on the campus and the roadmap to nearly net-zero campus is discussed at the end of the study.

Abstract

UIN Raden Intan Lampung is an Islamic university located at the southernmost tip of Sumatra. The area receives a rainfall ranging between 77-317 mm3 in 2022, and this rainfall must be harnessed and conserved as water reserves for daily needs. The university has a total area of 45 hectares, and it is home to a population of 34,482 individuals. The soil texture in the UIN Raden Intan Lampung campus area is predominantly clay, and the dense soil particles make it challenging to absorb water. Consequently, measures are required to regulate soil moisture levels to facilitate optimal water absorption. One strategy to preserve the water supply on campus is the construction of artificial ponds that capture rainwater. Ten such ponds have been built, covering 21.54% of the total green open space owned. Furthermore, around 8,000 biopore infiltration holes have been installed to maintain groundwater availability and improve soil fertility. The campus also conducts campaigns to promote water conservation and uses water-saving equipment technology. Treated wastewater from ablution activities in mosques is employed for secondary needs such as fish farming activities and irrigation. Ultimately, the preservation of water resources on campus must be sustainable, given the large population of people who depend on water for their daily needs, and ensuring water availability for the future is critical.

Abstract

UI GreenMetric was established before the initiative of the Sustainable Development Goals and other ranking to encourage universities in achieving sustainable development through their early awareness of environmental management on campus. In 2019, Times Higher Education launched a new ranking, namely the THE Impact Rankings, that assessed Sustainability progress implementation on campus. In this paper, we evaluate the impact of the consistency of university that have been participated in UI GreenMetric World University Rankings (UIGWUR) since 2010 to 2021. We evaluate 36 universities on the correlation between good performance in UIGWUR to the THE Impact ranking performed by 2019-2021. The results reveal that UI GreenMetric as an assessment tool, helped those universities in terms of shaping university readiness to achieve sustainable development. Those universities compete through annual reporting and the provided evidence of their progress on UI GreenMetric. Moreover, some universities have a high commitment to become sustainable campus through participating in sustainability-related rankings to monitor their progress regardless of the ranking results.

Abstract

The conventional use of paper-based operations in daily working practices introduces numerous risks and financial burdens. Nowadays, Universities are aligning with the growing movement of "green" campuses. Going paperless is a green initiative contributing to sustainable development goals 11 and 12. Ain Shams University (ASU) attempted to establish a paperless campus through digital transformation as this movement promises high-quality academic and administrative services. This paper aims to highlight ASUs developed 3 R’s approach for paper waste reduction include switching to electronic exams, customizing paper amounts annually, implementing electronic payment and service options, and using barcodes for cafeterias by creating E-Systems to deliver services online. Starting with the ASU community’s cultural level, awareness campaigns are being conducted on proper waste management. Parallelly, segregation bins are placed throughout the campus to effectively separate waste streams for recycling options, either internally by the artistic activities or externally by our specialized partners. To ensure the efficiency of this digital transformation, this study investigates the different waste streams, generation rates and quantities. Statistical methods will be used to analyze relationships between variables and identify potential paper waste reduction and recycling plans. The outcome of this study is an evaluation of the current progress in implementing the strategy. Additionally, it could be used as a case study for developing strategies in moving toward establishing a successful paperless university model
