Spreading Energy Awareness Beyond Campus

(Engineering Physics & RIS UMN Doc., 2024)

As awareness of environmental and sustainability issues grows, UMN took a proactive step by hosting its 15th public webinar, “Building Energy Efficiency & Energy Management Towards Sustainability”, on April 5, 2024. Presented by Ilham Wahyudi, Head of Estate Management and Sustainability Program at Sinarmas Land, this free online event highlighted how improving energy efficiency in buildings not only benefits the environment but also offers substantial cost savings. By making these sessions freely accessible via Zoom, UMN opens the door for the local community to easily learn about cutting-edge clean energy technologies and sustainable practices, empowering more people to contribute to a cleaner, greener future. 

Another public seminar was held on November 21, 2024, at UMN, titled “Building Performance Modeling for Sustainable Green Building Design”, taking place at the campus lecture hall. This event offered participants a chance to explore the latest methods in building performance modeling aimed at enhancing energy efficiency, comfort, and sustainability in modern architecture. Open to everyone, the seminar encouraged knowledge sharing between experts, practitioners, and the local community, helping attendees gain practical insights into eco-friendly design solutions. By making such programs accessible and free, UMN actively supports community learning on the importance of energy efficiency and clean energy, empowering more people to contribute to sustainable building practices.

Continuing Education Department (CED) and the Teknik Fisika Study Program at UMN partnered with Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI) to hold a two-day Greenship Associate (GA) training and certification on June 12-13, 2024, at UMN campus. This program not only serves Teknik Fisika students, who are required to complete it before graduation—but also welcomed participants from other departments like Architecture, as well as members of the local community. The training offered comprehensive education on energy efficiency, green building design, and sustainable development best practices. By engaging both students and the wider community, this initiative actively promotes awareness of clean energy and energy-saving methods, empowering participants to apply their knowledge in future projects, internships, and careers that support a greener, more sustainable environment.
