The development of centralised district cooling systems to meet the cooling needs of buildings on campus has been a major contributor to energy savings for the University. 

Determining an optimum ventilation rate for research laboratories and implementing green procurement for laboratory equipment are among measures to increase energy efficiency. 

New campus buildings and designed and constructed, and existing buildings are retrofitted to the highest standards of energy and water efficiency and sustainability practices.

Solar photovoltaic systems are being installed on building roof tops across the campus to increase the University’s solar energy capacity and reduce its carbon emissions.

The system provides real-time, online monitoring of the campus potable water distribution system, and reduces water losses by detecting and sending alerts on leaks or underground pipe bursts.

Evaporative cooling in such towers accounts for roughly one-third of the total water consumption on campus, and was identified as an impactful area of focus for the University’s water conservation efforts.
