UI GREEN METRIC World University Rankings

Universitas Indonesia (UI) initiated world university rankings in 2010, later known as UI GreenMetric World University Rankings, to measure campus sustainability efforts. It was intended to create an online survey to portray sustainability policies and programs for universities around the world.
We based the rankings broadly on the conceptual framework of Environment, Economy, and Equity. The ranking indicators and categories are intended to be relevant to all. We have designed the indicators and weightings to be as free of bias as possible. The work of collecting and submitting data is relatively straightforward and requires reasonable staff time. Ninety-five universities from 35 countries participated in the 2010 version of UI GreenMetric: 18 from America, 35 from Europe, 40 from Asia, and 2 from Australia. In 2020, 912 universities from
84 countries around the world participated. This shows that UI GreenMetric has been recognized as the first and only world university rankings on sustainability.
Our theme this year is “Universities, UI GreenMetric and SDGs in the Time of Pandemic”. We would like to focus on universities’ efforts to continue their sustainability programs and policies based on UI GreenMetric and SDGs while coping with Covid-19 pandemic.

UI GREEN METRIC 6 CRITIRIA

Setting and Infrastructure

(SI)

The campus setting and infrastructure information will give the basic information of the university policy towards green environment. This indicator also shows whether the campus deserves to be called Green Campus. The aim is to trigger the participating university to provide more space for greenery and in safeguarding environment, as well as developing sustainable energy.

Energy and Climate Change

(EC)

The university’s attention to the use of energy and climate change issues takes the highest weighting in this ranking. In our questionnaire we define several indicators , i.e. energy efficient appliances usage, renewable energy usage policy, total electricity use, energy conservation program, green building, climate change adaptation and mitigation program, greenhouse gas emission reductions policy.

Waste

(WS)

Waste treatment and recycling activities are major factors in creating a sustainable environment.The activities of university staff and students in campus will produce a lot of waste, therefore some programs and waste treatments should be among the concern of the university.

Water

(WR)

Water use in campus is another important indicator in Greenmetric. The aim is that universities can decrease water usage, increase conservation program, and protect the habitat. Water conservation program, piped water use are among the criteria.

Transportation

(TR)

Transportation policy to limit the number of motor vehicles in campus, the use of campus bus and bicycle will encourage a healthier environment. The pedestrian policy will encourage students and staff to walk around campus, and avoid using private vehicle. The use of environmentally friendly public transportation will decrease carbon footprint around campus.

Education and Research

(ED)

This criteria is based on the thought that university has an important role in creating the new generation concern with sustainability issues.

Energy & Climate Change (EC)

Huachiew Chalermprakiet University strives to realize the use of additional energy saving appliances by paying close attention to efficient energy management in all parts of the organization.

We use the Building Management System (BMS) that entails using the Lighting Access Control system, which can control the lighting system outside the building from the control room, the auto light power on-off system, the surveillance with CCTV, and a BAS system for controlling Chiller etc. All these systems are controlled by a computer operating system.

Huachiew Chalermprakiet University has Solar Rooftop project to install solar panels on the roof of the Lecture building, Canteen, and Gymnasium. The total capacity is 44kW and within 12 months production capacity equals 3,583,180.80 kWh.
