SDG 11.4.1
Targets for more sustainable commuting
Sustainable Facilities for Commuting within the Campus
The university has implemented several sustainable practices that focus on creating smart buildings that optimize energy usage and enhance the overall efficiency of campus infrastructure and commuting within the campus. One notable sustainable practice is the implementation of the Automatic Door Sensor System. This system utilizes sensors to detect the presence of individuals, automatically opening and closing the doors accordingly. By eliminating the need for manual door operation, energy waste due to doors being left open or inefficiently operated is minimized.
Another sustainable measure implemented by the university is the Automatic Fire Alarm Sensor System. This system employs advanced sensors that detect smoke, heat, or other indicators of fire, promptly triggering alarms and alerting relevant authorities. By ensuring an immediate response to fire incidents, this system enhances the safety and security of the campus community. Furthermore, the university has adopted the Automatic Light and AC (Air Conditioning) Sensor System. This system uses sensors to monitor the presence of individuals in rooms or areas and automatically adjusts lighting and air conditioning accordingly. When spaces are unoccupied, the system reduces energy consumption by turning off or dimming lights and adjusting temperature settings.
To enhance campus security and reduce environmental impact, the university employs Electric Golf Carts and mini service cars for security patrols, transferring students, staff, and visitors from the parking spots to the buildings and vice-versa. These eco-friendly vehicles provide a sustainable alternative to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, as they produce zero emissions and contribute to cleaner air quality. By utilizing electric golf carts, the university demonstrates its commitment to sustainable transportation practices.
The university has implemented sidewalks throughout the campus to promote safe and accessible movement for students, staff, and visitors. This initiative supports the creation of inclusive and sustainable urban spaces, enhancing the overall safety and well-being of the campus community.
