Energy Saving Measures and Potential of Energy Efficiency at the University of Surabaya, Based on EDGE Simulation

摘要

Higher education institutions play an essential role in promoting and developing sustainability. Implementation of energy efficient technology would reduce the amount of energy used significantly, in particular in buildings. The energy saving measures and potential for energy efficiency for a university campus are discussed and simulated in this paper. The simulation was done based on the parameters in EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiency) simulation software. There are nine measures can be done without significant building renovation. Yet those changes still affect significantly to the energy efficiency if done simultaneously. The total energy savings that can be obtained by doing all those nine changes is 18.9%. This improvement will give operational carbon savings 769.78 tCO2/year.
