Transportation policies to limit the number of motorized vehicles, use of campus buses & bicycles will encourage creating a healthier environment.
Plan to reduce energy consumption
IPB University has an energy efficiency and low carbon emission plan through the Green Campus Academic Paper. IPB is committed to developing green energy sources. Green energy is carried out by reducing electrical energy from fossil fuels (including PLN) and replacing it with solar energy, hydropower (MHPP), biogas and biomass. IPB’s energy efficiency plan is stated in Green Campus Academic Paper (page 116-117).
IPB University Green Campus Academic Paper
To achieve energy efficiency and low carbon emissions, IPB has several programs:
- Developing micro-hydro installations
- Identify energy-saving lamp types
- Identify priority buildings (pilot projects) that use energy-saving lamps
- Installation of lighting sensors in closed and open spaces
- Campaigns and education on energy conservation
- Measure vehicle emissions
In addition, the IPB University Strategic Plan also formally states the energy efficiency commitment. IPB is committed to reducing energy consumption through various research activities and innovations related to biomass and bioenergy, wind energy, and biogas. IPB University created a green building master plan for integrated area development to achieve green campus criteria.

Divestment policy
IPB University has a policy on divesting investments from carbon-intensive energy industries by developing some technologies to reduce coal waste and oil usage. Since 2019, IPB is fully committed to realizing a green campus by using the green campus movement, such as using renewable energy such as solar panels, biogas, and electric cars. The IPB’s commitment to the use and development of renewable energy in the IPB campus environment is stated in the IPB Green Campus Academic Paper 2019-2023. Many innovations use systems based on renewable energy, are environmentally friendly, and do not depend on carbon-intensive energy.
