University Measures Towards Affordable and Clean Energy
Energy-efficient renovation and building
Universitas Terbuka has implemented equipment that reduces excessive electrical energy consumption sourced from the national grid (PLN). These ideas encompass a broad range of energy-saving technologies and sustainable solutions crucial to environmental sustainability. The following is an explanation of each concept mentioned:
- Use of LCD Monitors and Low-Power CPUs: Replacing CRT monitors with LCDs or LEDs and using energy-efficient CPUs can reduce electricity consumption. This technology helps in optimising energy use in the study or office.
- Uses of LED Lights for Room Lighting: LED lights consume less power than incandescent lamps or CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Lamps), with higher efficiency and longer lifespan.
- Use of Automatic Mechanical Faucets in Sinks: Automatic faucets only drain water when needed to help reduce water wastage. It can be applied in buildings to improve water use efficiency.
- Green Open Living Room to Maximise Daylight Lighting: Building designs that maximise natural lighting from sunlight will reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day, thus saving energy.
- Use of Central Air Conditioning: Central air conditioning systems are typically more efficient for large buildings, as they can be designed to distribute temperature evenly throughout the room compared to individual unit air conditioners.
- Automatic Hand Washing with Solar Panels: Automated systems that use energy from solar panels can be applied to public facilities such as handwashing stations. This not only saves conventional electrical power but also encourages the use of renewable energy.
- Watering Plants with Solar Panels: Using solar panels for watering plants can ensure an energy-efficient automatic irrigation system suitable for gardens or green areas in buildings or cities.
