There is no smart building implemented in RMUTP.
Renewable Energy Sources in Campus
Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon has installed solar panels to produce renewable electricity in 3 centers: North Phra Nakhon Center, Thewet Center, and Phra Nakhon Commercial Center. Each center has the following total production capacity:
- North Phra Nakhon Center: Total production capacity of 424,497 kWh/year
- Thewet Center: Total production capacity of 42,000 kWh/year
- Phra Nakhon Commercial Center: Total production capacity of 607,827 kWh/year
The total solar power generation of Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon amounts to 1,074,324 kWh/year.
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
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.
Greenhouse gas emission reduction program
- EV Charging station to promote Green house gas emission reduction by using EV car.
- Using renewable energy for electricity that reducing purchased.
These programs aim to reduce one out of three scopes emissions
Please Provide The Total Carbon Footprint (CO2 emission in the last 12 months, in metric tons)
The total carbon footprint per year is 6,131.78 metric tons and the total carbon footprint per year per person is 6,131.78 /17,549 = 0.35 metric tons.
