addressing sustainability
The campus setting and infrastructure information will give the basic information of the university policy towards
Setting &
green environment. This indicator also shows whether the campus deserves to be called Green Campus. The aim
is to trigger the participating university to provide more space for greenery and in safeguarding environment,
as well as developing sustainable energy.
The universitys attention to the use of energy and climate change issues takes the highest weighting in this
ranking. In our questionnaire we define several indicators for this particular area of concern, i.e. energy
Energy &
Climate
Change
efficient appliances usage, renewable energy usage policy, total electricity use, energy conservation program,
green building, climate change adaptation and mitigation program, greenhouse gas emission reductions policy.
With this indicator, universities are expected to increase the effort in energy efficiency on their buildings and to
take more about nature and energy resources.
Waste treatment and recycling activities are major factors in creating a sustainable environment. The activities
of university staff and students in campus will produce a lot of waste, therefore some programs and waste
Waste
treatments should be among the concern of the university, i.e. recycling program, toxic waste recycling, organic
waste treatment, inorganic waste treatment, sewerage disposal, policy to reduce the use of paper and plastic
in campus.
Water use in campus is another important indicator. The aim is that universities can decrease
Water
water usage, increase conservation program, and protect the habitat. Water conservation
program, piped water use are among the criteria.
Transportation
Transportation system plays an important role on the carbon emission and pollutant level in university.
Transportation policy to limit the number of motor vehicles in campus, the use of campus bus and bicycle will
encourage a healthier environment. The pedestrian policy will encourage students and staff to walk around
campus, and avoid using private vehicle. The use of environmentally friendly public transportation will decrease
carbon footprint around campus.
Education
This criteria is based on the thought that university has an important role in creating the new
generation concern with sustainability issues.

The Need for Walk the Talk
1. Universities have a critical role
to play in addressing the
sustainable development agenda
and solving complex problems,
not only through the discovery of
technological solutions, but also
through the education of future
environmental leaders.

Green Campus: National University of
Singapore
NUS announced its Kent Ridge campus as a living
laboratory for smart sustainable solutions
Example projects:
NUS School of Design and Environment serves as the
demo site for testing practical application of multi-
functional photovoltaic panels.

TOWARDS AN
ECO-CAMPUS
Eco-campus Initiatives in UM
Different approaches towards a greener campus
Student-led and
Research informed UM Living Lab
Volunteerism
The philosophy behind the Living Lab idea is to convert university campuses to Living
Labs which is a combined lab/household system, analysing existing
productservicesystems as well as technical and socioeconomic influences focused on
the social needs of people, aiming at the development of integrated technical and social
innovations and simultaneously promoting the conditions of sustainable development
(highest resource efficiency, highest user orientation, etc.).

2. Real-time and Automated Traffic Data Inventory and Monitoring System (TDIM)
1. A universitys successful sustainability plan can have a positive impact on the local
community.
2. A successful green campus plan demonstrates a commitment to reducing air and water
pollution, improving energy and water efficiency, promoting recycling, and reducing CO2
emissions.
