Project Abstract
Huachiew Chalermprakiet University opened in 1992. The university has 886 staff many of whom have been working with the university from its early days. The university working days are from Monday to Saturday (3,744 hours per year). Aside from maintaining full-teaching operations, the university also strives to have impeccable green credentials through a low energy consumption profile.
From 2012 to 2015, the university has engaged in an energy saving program and this has resulted in reduced energy consumption. To achieve the goal of energy efficiency, Huachiew Chalermprakiet University has created a culture of energy saving in all levels of university operations. We have encouraged employees to be personally involved in energy conservation activities. There are team members, who lead the campaign to reduce the carbon footprint. It started with energy conservation training for every staff so they could guide others and apply their know-how and skills in their working routines. We also encourage students to join the campaign by using energy economically, during student activities within the university. Then there are also ongoing outreaches to the community. Activities are conducted to educate students about energy saving as part of our corporate social responsibility program.
For the past four years through energy conservation activities (both investment and non-investment), we have reduced energy consumption by more than 2,620,435 kWh, which is equal to 1,903.79 tons of CO2 emissions. The reduction of energy consumption gave us a total savings of over 10.99 million baht with the average ROI of 3.37 per year. Recently, Huachiew Chalermprakiet University was awarded the Best Energy Saving Building of MEA 2015 from the Metropolitan Electricity Authority of Thailand with prize money of 2 million baht. Also we were honored at the Thailand Energy Awards 2016 and ASEAN Energy Award 2016.
A culture of energy saving was not easy to create but at Huachiew Chalermprakiet University, WE CAN. It is our firm belief that our success story is driven by our staff, who is committed to the energy conservation program.
