TANGERANG – In the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak, adequate energy needs will be beneficial to maintain the country’s economic stability. To that end, the Faculty of Engineering and Informatics (FTI) through the Physics Engineering study program of Multimedia Nusantara University (UMN) held a web seminar (webinar) themed “Priority of the Energy Sector in Dealing with COVID-19 Emergency Conditions”, Friday (8/5) online.

This webinar is a form of community service program from FTI UMN supported by the Vocational Physical Engineering Agency of the Indonesian Engineers Association (PII). This webinar was also moderated by the Chairperson of UMN’s Physical Engineering Study Program, M. Salehuddin, S.T., M.T.

The first session was presented by an expert at the Center for the Study of Manufacturing, Telematics, and Electronics Of the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT), Arya Rezavidi. He expressed his concerns on employment issues due to COVID-19.

“Even if COVID is finished, then this employment problem will not be finished just like that. Because it’s going to have a long impact. For this recovery will take time, “explained Arya.

Related to this problem, Arya explained the importance of utilizing renewable energy, such as solar cells or Photovoltaic (PV) and biomass. According to him, the use of renewable energy can save energy and money for countries that 90% of the main energy sources still depend on fossils. In addition, it is also a new employment solution in the midst of the outbreak of job cuts (layoffs) during the COVID-19 pandemic situation.

“We see an estimated growth of 60,000 new jobs in the PV industry.  And for biomass will be estimated to grow 38 thousand new field, “said Arya.

The second session was continued by UMN Physics Engineering Energy Management Lecturer, Rahmi Andarini. At this session, Rahmi shared tips on saving energy at home during Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB). Any diverted activity in this house is feared to contribute to a significant waste of energy.

“We have limited energy sources. Must start switching or hijrah with an efficient energy source. Meanwhile, on the one hand the demand for energy use is rising every day,” explained Rahmi.

To that end, Rahmi explained the importance of raising awareness on the issue of energy use. However, that doesn’t mean our productivity is down because it saves energy.

Some tips from Rahmi such as utilizing sunlight for lighting during the day, maximizing the use of air vents to reduce the use of air conditioners (AC), and preventing the presence of vampire energy – conditions when the occurrence of electrical energy sucking from equipment that is left on (standby).

“So, we use energy efficiently and rationally without compromising the level of safety, comfort, and importantly productivity. It should always be noted that when we use energy, we see how our productivity,” Rahmi concluded. (MC/RK)
