For the 2025 assessment year, the university reported total energy use of 44,044 gigajoules (GJ), of which 11,021 GJ was energy used from low-carbon sources. This represents 25.02% of total energy use.
Energy Consumption Data
| Indicator | Amount | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Total energy used | 44,044 | GJ |
| Total energy used from low-carbon sources | 11,021 | GJ |
| Share of low-carbon energy (calculated) | 25.02 | % |
Calculation of the Low-carbon Energy Share
Low-carbon energy share (%) = (Energy used from low-carbon sources ÷ Total energy used) × 100
= (11,021 ÷ 44,044) × 100 = 25.02%
Low-carbon Energy Sources and Supporting Projects
Solar Rooftop Project at the Sri Wiswa Building
A rooftop solar photovoltaic power generation system has been installed at the Sri Wiswa Building, Faculty of Engineering, to supply electricity for the building and its teaching laboratories. The installation also serves as a learning and research resource for clean energy and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies.
Policies and Measures Supporting the Energy Transition
The university issued its Policy on Environmental and Energy Management, Health, Hygiene, and Internal Safety on 9 December 2022. The policy sets a target of promoting renewable energy use to at least 25% by 2026 and aims to achieve carbon neutrality at the university by 2037. It also encourages the renovation of energy-efficient buildings and the development of smart buildings.
