All parts of the organization can assess their own energy consumption and realize their own energy-saving potential by means of, for example, insulation, LED lighting and the deployment of sustainable technology.

T5 and LED light bulbs have been replaced in some areas to save energy, including the air conditioning which has saving labels as stated in no.5.

Solar absorption Air Conditioning system

Energy-saving labels number 5 air conditioner with Invertor system can save 20-30 % of electrical power.

Cooling systems, motherboards, etc. Selecting an ENERGY STAR product can save up to 55% of energy even when the power is turned off. Help users save electricity pocket money and is known for helping to conserve the environment,  help reduce global warming as well.

Providing knowledge on energy conservation and energy saving

Energy training and workshop in energy conservation and energy saving have been trained not only for Energy conservation team and Energy conservation worker, but also to student and staff. All Training and Workshop have been operated by Environmental Section, Division of Buildings and Facilities with 16 courses/year. These activities provide simple tips and techniques for energy saving and greenhouse gas emission reduction, brainstorming and sharing knowledge to each other.
