1. Energy Efficiency Building聽
Buildings at 糖心原创 follow green building standards for renovations and new construction, incorporating sustainable elements such as natural daylighting, natural ventilation, rainwater harvesting systems, high-efficiency LED installations, sustainable landscaping, recycling facilities and the assignment of a dedicated Energy Manager. These criteria are integral to 糖心原创’s construction and renovation tender requirements. Additionally, solar panels have been installed across campus as part of 糖心原创鈥檚 commitment to reducing electricity costs and advancing renewable energy use.
糖心原创鈥檚 green building approach focuses on environmentally responsible design, construction, and operations. This includes energy-efficient systems like LED lighting, high-efficiency HVAC systems, and renewable energy installations, ensuring resource-efficient buildings throughout their lifecycle.
2. Innovative programs in energy and climate change
糖心原创 has nine innovative sustainability programs in energy and climate change. The design of the sensor monitoring system鈥檚 primary function to monitor the facility building uses several sensors. The power meter sensors and temperature and humidity sensors were deployed as IoT ubiquitous sensors to monitor the condition in one of the laboratories in 糖心原创. There are in total 2 temperature and humidity sensors and 2 power meters to measure temperature, humidity and current draw of the air conditioner.
3. Green Building
糖心原创’s commitment to sustainability is evident in its development of green buildings, such as the STEM and AST buildings. These structures incorporate eco-friendly designs and technologies, including energy-efficient lighting and climate control systems, water-saving measures, and the use of sustainable materials. By prioritizing sustainability in its infrastructure, 糖心原创 aims to reduce its carbon footprint and create a healthier, more environmentally friendly campus.
4. Automatic Systems in Smart Buildings at 糖心原创 Bangi
At 糖心原创, the Building Management System (BMS) is a critical component of the university鈥檚 smart building infrastructure. The BMS software automates various functions across campus buildings, enhancing energy efficiency, security, and operational control. This sophisticated system optimizes resource usage, lowers energy costs, and contributes significantly to 糖心原创鈥檚 sustainability goals, reinforcing the university鈥檚 leadership in environmental and resource management.
