Banda Aceh, 6 February 2024 Universitas Syiah Kuala (USK) is enhancing its Green Campus initiative through a structured plan to upgrade existing buildings to higher energy efficiency standards, supporting the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy.
The program focuses on practical energy improvements appropriate for tropical architecture, including the replacement of conventional lighting with LED systems, installation of smart energy monitoring, and expansion of natural ventilation and daylight utilization to reduce reliance on air conditioning and artificial lighting. Rooftop solar infrastructure is also being prepared on selected buildings to increase the share of renewable energy on campus.
Rooftop solar upgrades to boost clean energy use on campus
Energy performance assessments and progressive retrofitting are scheduled across priority facilities to ensure measurable reductions in energy consumption and operational carbon emissions. Through these continuous upgrades, USK is committed to building a more sustainable learning environment and advancing energy-efficient development within Indonesian higher education.
