ENERGY EFFICIENCY ENHANCEMENT ON UNIVERSITAS CIPUTRA SURABAYA : GREENSHIP PARAMETERS BASED

Abstract

The increasing global demand for energy, particularly in the building sector, has underscored the need for effective energy efficiency management, as buildings account for a significant portion of the world’s energy consumption. In Indonesia, energy consumption has been increasing, with projections indicating a continued rise due to population and economic growth. Universities are significant energy consumers due to their diverse needs and numerous activities. The rapid expansion of higher education, particularly in countries like Indonesia, exacerbates energy demand. This research examines the Universitas Ciputra Surabaya Tower as a case study for EEC implementation, based on Greenship parameters as defined by the Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI). The research aims to assess the extent of Universitas Ciputra’s efforts in improving its energy efficiency and conserving energy from renewable resources. Several efforts have been made, including the implementation of solar panels and the use of energy-efficient lighting and HVAC units. The results have shown that these applications have conserved approximately 2-3% of renewable resources and reduced energy consumption over the last few years. Hence, as the point calculation set by Greenship parameters, Universitas Ciputra Tower has already reached a total of 33 out of 36 points in the EEC rating tools.
