Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR) has committed to a series of annual building upgrades that emphasize energy efficiency, aligning with its long-term sustainability and green campus goals. Guided by Rector's Decree No. 1074/UN3/2021 on Energy-Saving Policies and No. 1050/UN3/2021 on Green Campus Initiatives, UNAIR is actively transforming its infrastructure to incorporate advanced energy-efficient technologies.

Strategic Upgrades for Sustainable Campus Buildings

  • Building-2
  • Building-1

As part of its continuous efforts, UNAIR's energy-efficient renovation plan includes retrofitting and improving existing facilities. In 2023, UNAIR successfully renovated the Nutrition Laboratory at The Faculty of Public Health, implementing smart building procedures outlined in Decree PP-UNAIR-MUN-01-17. The renovation prioritized LED lighting installations and enhanced ventilation systems, ensuring and energy-efficient, clean, and sterile environment essential for laboratory operations.

This laboratory upgrade reflects UNAIR's commitment to energy-efficient design, creating healthier and more sustainable workspaces that meet modern environmental standards.

Harnessing Solar Power for a Cleaner Energy Profile

In addition to retrofitting existing buildings, UNAIR has intergrated solar panel installations on the student dormitory building, generating an impressive daily average of 30 kW. This solar power system reduces the university's dependence non-renewable energy sources, offering a sustainable energy solution that complements the dormitory's needs.

Similary, the Airlangga Sharia & Entrepreneurship Education Center has also adopted solar power, underscoring UNAIR's commitment to renewable energy and  its focus on reducing campus-wide carbon emissions. Together, these installations represent a broader effort to transition the campus to sustainable energy sources, contributing to national energy efficiency goals.

UNAIR's renovation and upgrade plan illustrates a proactive approach to building a sustainable campus. The integration of LED lighting, optimized ventilation, and renewable energy systems demonstrates a tangible commitment to environmental stewardships.
