Universitas Padjadjaran has established a structured system to identify and reduce energy wastage through its Energy Conservation Program. Annual audits, periodic evaluations, and continuous monitoring form the foundation of this system, enabling the university to track energy performance and pinpoint areas of inefficiency. These reviews create a data-driven baseline that supports systematic improvement across campus operations.
To enhance accuracy in identifying waste, Unpad employs IoT-based energy monitoring dashboards and an integrated Building Management System. The real-time dashboard detects abnormal consumption patterns, prolonged equipment operation, and peak-load anomalies. Meanwhile, the Building Management System automatically regulates lighting, air conditioning, and ventilation based on occupancy and operational schedules, preventing unnecessary usage and allowing early detection of system irregularities that contribute to waste.
Insights from monitoring and audit findings inform targeted actions such as retrofits, recalibration of equipment, improved scheduling, and upgraded energy-efficient systems. Through the combination of IoT analytics, BMS automation, and structured audits, Unpad ensures that high-waste zones are quickly identified and addressed. This integrated approach demonstrates the university’s commitment to proactive energy management and long-term operational sustainability.
