In the Academic Paper and Planning for IPB Green Campus Implementation 2019-2023, IPB University has planned to evaluate and upgrade the existing buildings to higher energy efficiency (Chapters 6.4 and 6.5) (pages 115-120). In order to achieve the targets, especially related to green building and energy efficiency, since 2019, IPB University cooperates with Green Building Council Indonesia(GBCI) through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Through this cooperation, IPB University is ensuring the fulfillment of its green Campus commitment particularly to follow energy efficiency standards on its old and new buildings and infrastructures.

In addition, IPB and GBCI are also committed to collaborating in education, research, and community service in the context of developing green buildings in Indonesia. In the implementation, Cyber Center Fateta (CCF) building has been upgraded with the new design by considering energy efficiency.

Since 2019, IPB has conducted a Carbon Footprint (CFP) study in an effort to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The results of this study are used as one of the important considerations in the determination of carbon Management in the IPB campus environment.

IPB University continues to implement programs to reduce CO2 emissions through 4 elements of green campus, those are i) green transportation, ii) green movement, iii) green energy, and iv) dan green building/open space (Green Campus Academic Paper, Page 4). The Guidelines for implementing carbon management and reducing CO2 gas emissions are documented in the towards Green Campus 2020 book. IPB realizes the importance of green transportation since it will play an essential role in reducing the level of pollutants and carbon emissions in the campus environment. Transportation policies to limit the number of motorized vehicles, and use of campus buses, & bicycles will encourage creating a healthier environment.

Energy efficiency and low carbon emission are one of the criteria for the Green Campus. In order to achieve the targets, IPB University has made a road map to achieve the target in the 2019-2023 period as written in the Green Campus academic manuscript Tabel 6.4 page 110. The energy efficiency commitment is also formally stated in the IPB University Strategic Plan (page 11). IPB is committed to reducing energy consumption through various research activities and innovations related to biomass and bioenergy, wind energy, and biogas.

IPB University regularly undergoes energy reviews to identify areas where energy wastage is highest. Since 2019, IPB has conducted a Carbon Footprint (CFP) study in an effort to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. One of the results of this study shows the areas where energy wastage is highest (pages 16-17).

IPB university in terms of divestment policy refers to the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation No. 25 of 2018 concerning the Mineral and Coal Mining Business. IPB University had an energy divestment policy through a copy of the IPB Chancellor’s Decree No.104/IT3/LK/2019 concerning Criteria for Green Campus IPB 2019-2023 and manifested in Green Campus IPB, page 10, point 1, stated that “Reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. The use of fossil-based energy, especially coal and oil, must be immediately transferred to biofuels and other energy that is more environmentally friendly”.

Green Energy was carried out by reducing the use of electrical energy sourced from fossil fuels (including PLN) and replacing it with solar cells, the possibility of making hydroelectric power plants (MHPP) and biogas for the benefit of the IPB campus (Darmaga) and conducting research developments for bio-energy: biomass-based energy.
