RUTS University strengthened its commitment to low-carbon energy in 2024 by upgrading facilities with the highest energy consumption. The Aquarium Building—one of the university’s most popular visitor attractions—was identified for improvement, leading to the replacement of its existing roof and the installation of a 150 kWp on-grid solar photovoltaic (PV) system. This upgrade greatly enhanced the building’s energy efficiency, resulting in significant electricity savings and reduced reliance on external power sources.
In addition, RUTS announced a university-wide initiative to cut energy use and lower carbon emissions by replacing all outdated 40-watt fluorescent tubes with energy-efficient 18-watt LED tubes across the entire campus.
