5 GREEN PROJECTS

UTAR Green Campus Committee involves establishing 5 green projects through Energy, Water, Waste, Transportation, Setting & Infrastructure, Procurement and Education and Research. The following projects are designed to achieve efficiency in Green-Campus programme. 

GREEN PROJECT 1 - ENERGY

Urban Green Space for Carbon Offset in UTAR Campus

Carbon offset generally refers to the removal of the carbon gaseous (or other greenhouse gaseous) in compensation to its emission. In recent decades, we see more awareness campaigns and movements that encouraged carbon neutrality in the urban areas, such as Carbon Neutral Cities Alliane (CNCA).

GREEN PROJECT 2 - WATER


"TOGETHER WE SAVE ENERGY & WATER"

In line with the University’s effort to create a green environment and to conserve energy and water, the Department of General Services (DGS) of both Sungai Long and Kampar Campuses strongly encourage staff and students to save electricity and water in all campuses through the circulation of notices in the forms of email, signage etc. Saving electricity and water is a team effort that requires the contribution of everyone in the campus to be successful. Therefore, it is hoped that such an initiative can create an awareness towards the core issue of sustainability.

 

Practical Tips for Saving Water and Energy in the Campus suggested in UTAR announcements:






  

It is our responsibility to be mindful of our consumption patterns and keenly contribute to save these precious resources. By conserving water and energy, we not only protect the environment but also ensure a better quality of life for ourselves and future generations. Together, we can create a university where water and energy are valued instead of taken for granted.

GREEN PROJECT 3 - WASTE

GREEN BANK PROJECT

Green Bank project is a result of collaboration between UTAR and Go Greenonline Sdn. Bhd. The Go Greenonline Sdn. Bhd. has years of successful experience in dealing with recycling work in Pangkor Island.                                  

GREEN PROJECT 4 -TRANSPORTATION, SETTING & INFRASTRUCTURE AND PROCUREMENT


CYCLETON FOR A GREEN CAMPUS 

A hundred participants enjoyed a relaxing cycling session around UTAR Kampar Campus in "Cycleton for a Green Campus" on 15 July 2023. The event was jointly organised by the Faculty of Engineering and Green Technology (FEGT), UTAR Society of Petroleum Engineers, UCSI-Cheras Low Carbon Innovation Hub Research Consortium, and IEM UCSI Student Chapter to raise awareness of UTAR and the Kampar communities about the benefits of cycling and introduce the concept of carbon footprint mitigation in the aspect of transportation.






GREEN PROJECT 5 - UTAR GREEN AMBASSADOR PROGRAMME

UTAR GREEN AMBASSADOR PROGRAMME 

The UTAR Green Ambassador Programme is an initiative that allows UTAR students supported by UTAR Green Campus Committee and staff in charge, to communicate, coordinate, lead and collaborate on student-led green ideas on-/offcampus.
