Looking to install ‘solar power generator’ with national funding... Taking the initiative for constructing a green campus
“Need participation of everyone to create an energy-saving, eco-friendly campus”
[May 29, 2018]
<YU Mechanical Facility Situation Room>
The YU School of Architecture engaged in various energy conversation campaigns for students and faculty, which resulted in saving 24% of energy compared to the previous year (2016). When converting to annual electrical costs, this is a saving of more than 10 million won.
The School of Architecture held regular meetings for professors, administrative office and student government and reached an agreement that it is necessary to conserve energy in the school. Through this, they began participating in energy-conservation activities in everyday life such as avoiding use of the design lab in late hours, turning off lights in classrooms when empty, avoiding unnecessary use of computers in the design lab, recommending limited use of heating and cooling facilities, attaching energy-saving stickers, disconnecting power cords for hot water in restrooms during the summer, etc. In result, energy consumption at the Architecture Hall (including the College of Engineering) dropped significantly from 204tCO2e (units converting electric power usage into carbon emissions) in 2016 to 156tCO2e in 2017. <See carbon dioxide emissions table below>

※ The above data is the conversion of electric usage into carbon emissions and it is information for constructing an eco-friendly campus by conserving energy and resources.
YU Facilities Management Office Director Kim Moon-jae said, “We hope that in addition to our energy element tracking management, database construction and other activities, all of the members of the university will voluntarily participate in various energy conservation activities.”
