SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
SDG 7: AFFORDABLE AND CLEAN ENERGY
“After water and food, energy is one of the key enablers of human life. Energy is central to nearly every major challenge and opportunity the world faces today and access to energy for all is essential. But energy needs to be available and affordable to all to allow future development, and it needs to be clean in order to ensure that the development can be sustainable.”

IPB’s Long-term Development Planning policy emphasizes sustainable development that we call Green Campus Program 2019-2045 which underline the implementation of Green Campus as a strategic issue (Page 75). The policy for implementing green development in IPB University is called “Naskah Akademik dan Perencanaan Implementasi Green Campus IPB 2019-2023” (Academic Paper and Planning for IPB Green Campus Implementation 2019-2023). This Academic paper contains the energy efficiency standard (Chapter 5.5 page 82-86) and Infrastructure and Green Building (Chapter 5.6 page 87-89). The policy of IPB green campus is also stated in the IPB Strategic Plan 2019-2023 and IPB Work Plan 2021 (page 2-10, Green and Smart Infrastructure).

IPB also follows several policies regarding Energy Saving:
- Lighting system policy
- The lighting system considers the principles of energy saving in buildings (Law No.28 of 2022 Article 23 Paragraph 1)
- Lighting systems in buildings can be implemented effectively, comfortably, and save energy (Government Regulation No. 16 of 2021 Article 37 Paragraph 2)
- Ventilation system policy
- The ventilation system takes into account the principles of energy saving in buildings (Law No.28 of 2022 Article 22 Paragraph 1)
- Air conditioning is carried out by considering the principles of energy saving in buildings (Law No.28 of Article 26 Paragraph 4)
- The application of the ventilation system must take into account the principle of energy saving in buildings (Government Regulation No. 16 of 2021 Article 36 Paragraph 5)
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). To achieve the targets, especially related to green building and energy efficiency, since 2019, IPB University cooperates with Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI) by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). By 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 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. The Guidelines for implementing carbon management and reducing CO2 gas emissions are documented in the IPB towards Green Campus 2020 book (Ev. 2). IPB realizes the importance of green transportation since it will play an essential role in reducing 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 the creation of a healthier environment.
Energy efficiency and low carbon emission are criteria for the IPB Green Campus. 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 high, as shown in the carbon footprint study report. Since 2019, IPB has conducted a Carbon Footprint (CFP) study to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
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.
IPB University is committed to realizing a green campus through the Decree of the Rector of the Bogor Agricultural University Number 104/IT3/LK/2019 regarding the criteria for IPB green campus. The criteria for IPB green campus are as follows:
- Compliance with environmental regulations
- Water-sensitive management
- Enhancement and protection of biodiversity and sustainable landscapes
- Energy efficiency and climate
