Srinakharinwirot University implements an advanced energy management system across the Prasarnmit and Ongkharak campuses, systematically compiling and analyzing electricity consumption and electricity-use intensity by floor area to establish baselines, set reduction targets, and track progress. The University runs sustained behavior-change initiatives— including awareness and engagement activities for students, staff, and communities, competency-based learning workshops for schools, and a dedicated curriculum website— to cultivate responsible energy practices. Detailed reviews at campus, building, and seasonal levels identify abnormal demand, high-consumption facilities, and potential system failures, enabling targeted equipment upgrades and corrective actions. Greenhouse gas emissions linked to energy use are regularly monitored, with reduction measures integrated into operations and formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding toward SWU Carbon Neutrality by 2040. SWU also promotes alternative and low-carbon energy solutions through institutional actions and student innovations, particularly in solar energy and other clean technologies. Building designs are enhanced to support health and efficiency—expanding natural ventilation and daylighting and deploying automatic lighting controls—with the Student Affairs Building serving as a model of energy-efficient design.

1. Monitoring energy usage and setting targets for reduction.

Srinakharinwirot University regularly compiles and analyses electricity consumption across both Prasarnmit and Ongkharak campus, calculating usage intensity based on campus floor area to understand real energy demand. This systematic monitoring provides a reliable baseline that supports setting clear energy-reduction targets and helps track progress in improving energy efficiency over time.

2. Initiating programs to promote behavioral changes aimed at conserving energy.

Srinakharinwirot University conducts awareness and engagement activities that encourage students, staff, and local communities to adopt energy-saving habits. These programmes promote responsible behaviours such as reducing unnecessary electricity use, improving daily energy practices, and developing a stronger culture of conservation within the University environment.

3. Conducting detailed analysis of both behavioral energy usage and infrastructure performance to identify and address system failures.

Srinakharinwirot University performs detailed reviews of electricity consumption trends based on campus, buildings, and specific periods of the year to identify abnormal usage and areas prone to energy wastage. This analysis highlights high-demand buildings and seasonal peaks, enabling the University to detect system inefficiencies, plan equipment upgrades, and implement corrective actions that improve overall infrastructure performance.

4. Monitoring greenhouse gas emissions and implementing strategies for reduction.

Srinakharinwirot University maintains structured processes to monitor emissions associated with its energy consumption and implements actions to reduce them. These include increasing energy efficiency across key facilities, improving operational practices, and introducing measures that support long-term reductions in greenhouse gas output.

5. Using alternative energy sources such as biogas, solar energy, etc.

Srinakharinwirot University supports the development and application of low-carbon and clean-energy solutions through student innovation projects and institutional initiatives that explore renewable options such as solar energy and other environmentally friendly technologies. These efforts contribute to diversifying the University’s energy sources and reducing dependence on conventional fossil-fuel electricity.

6. Any other specialized healthy lifestyle support services offered.

Srinakharinwirot University enhances indoor environmental quality and energy efficiency by improving building design—such as increasing natural ventilation, allowing greater daylight use, and installing automatic lighting-control systems. These measures not only reduce energy consumption but also create healthier, more comfortable learning and working environments for students and staff.

The Student Affairs Building is an example of an energy-efficient building design on campus.
