Apart from solar power for electronic generation, the university also utilizes the solar power for hot water boiling with the capacity of 36,500 kWh/year.

Electricity Usage per Year (in Kilowatt hour)

The total electricity usage of Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon (RMUTP) during June 2023 to May 2024 is 7,292,000 kWh. On the five main centers (campuses) areas of RMUTP, electricity is used for lighting, cooling, heating, office’s and laboratory’s appliances. The total university’s population is 17,549 and hence, the electricity usage per person in all campuses is 415.5 kWh.

Ratio of renewable energy production divided by total energy usage per year

Total electricity usage during June 2023 to May 2024 is 7,292,000 kWh.
Total of renewable electricity production is 1,074,324 kWh/year.

Ratio of renewable energy production divided by total energy usage per year

Renewable Electricity usage = (1,074,324/7,292,000) *100 = 14.73 %

Elements of green building implementation as reflected in all construction and renovation policies

Example of Green Building Rajamangala Univeristy of Technology Phranakhon (RMUTP), Thailand

Natural light intaking while aligning the building orientation with natural ventilation patterns

Using eco-friendly material for building and increasing green spaces within buildings

On-site electricity generation

Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon has adopted a green building development approach that focuses on utilizing nature and modern technology. The university supports building designs that optimize natural light intake while aligning the building orientation with natural ventilation patterns. Increasing green spaces within buildings helps create a healthier environment and boosts oxygen levels. The selection of environmentally friendly construction materials helps reduce the impact on nature. Additionally, the installation of solar panels for on-site electricity generation in buildings is being implemented. These initiatives not only save energy and minimize environmental impact but also create a conducive environment for the health and learning of students and staff.
