Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.
Approximately 69.23% of Universitas Indonesia’s buildings meet smart-building standards, featuring energy-efficient systems, indoor air-quality controls, and integrated building-management technologies. To further advance this, Universitas Indonesia is developing a Master Plan for 2026–2029 to accelerate our transition to a green, sustainable campus. The plan prioritizes retrofitting older conventional buildings with energy-efficient equipment, sustainable appliances, and smart controls to optimize performance and reduce environmental impact.
Energy-efficient renovation and building
Universitas Indonesia requires that all renovations and new builds follow institutional energy efficiency standards set by university regulations and technical guidance. These standards are outlined in Rector’s Decree No. 1212 of 2024. These requirements are implemented through project approvals, design reviews, and procurement rules that embed passive design, efficient HVAC, lighting, and envelope measures into the brief for every major project. Universitas Indonesia has started implementing this, proven by our buildings receiving EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) certification.
Pusgiwa has managed to achieve 22% energy savings, 34% water savings, and 42% less embodied energy in materials.
Located at the Faculty of Engineering, the i-CELL Laboratory has managed to achieve 70% energy savings, 42% water savings, and 48% less embodied energy in materials.
Upgrade buildings and plan to reduce energy consumption
Universitas Indonesia has concrete plans to upgrade existing buildings to higher energy efficiency, prioritizing high‑consumption facilities for retrofits that include LED lighting, inverter air conditioning, improved insulation and shading, and selective installation of on‑site renewables. These upgrade programs sit within a campus‑wide energy efficiency plan to reduce overall energy consumption through systematic audits, phased capital works, and behaviour‑change measures that track and verify energy savings over time. Currently, all faculties at Universitas Indonesia, as well as operational buildings such as the University Administrative Center (PAU) and UI Dormitory have begun to implement energy-efficient appliances in their buildings.
Energy wastage identification
Universitas Indonesia conducts regular energy reviews and building performance audits to identify where energy wastage is highest, using metering and technical assessments to target interventions with the greatest savings potential. Results from these reviews guide investment decisions and maintenance schedules so that limited resources focus first on cooling, ventilation, lighting and other systems that drive the largest energy loads and fastest paybacks. Certain faculties such as the Faculty of Administration and the Faculty of Engineering have implemented the usage of Building Management System (BMS) and/or Building Automation System (BAS) to make wastage identification easier through monitoring.
Carbon-Intensive Industry Divestment Policy
Universitas Indonesia’s divestment approach is governed by existing institutional rules that require university financial and partnership decisions to align with strategic, legal, and ethical mandates. In particular, Universitas Indonesia’s Rector’s Regulation No. 20 of 2016 provides the regulatory framework for university cooperation and financial activities, and Article 3 Point 3 is cited as the provision that binds such activities to the university’s established policies and oversight mechanisms.
