SDG 7 : Affordable and Clean Energy

SDG 7 “Affordable and clean energy” aims to ensure access to reliable, sustainable, and sustainable energy sources while advancing energy-saving and renewable technologies. The goal of clean energy is to overcome the climate change and improving economic growth. 
​
UNIMAS ensures that all renovation and construction projects adhere to energy efficiency standards, promoting sustainable building practices. Plans are in place to upgrade existing buildings for higher energy efficiency, contributing to reduced energy consumption and environmental impact. UNIMAS has a structured process for carbon management, actively working towards reducing carbon dioxide emissions. An energy efficiency plan is implemented to systematically reduce overall energy consumption, with regular energy reviews helping to pinpoint areas with the highest energy waste. 
​

UNIMAS ENERGY POLICY

This policy was endorsed in the Senate Meeting No. 02/2018 169th which has convened on 21 February 2018. UNIMAS electricity policy was developed for the purpose of optimizing and leading to saving electricity consumption at the University. This is in line with the government's practical spending practices, as well as the intention to make UNIMAS asustainable campus and low carbon campus.

University Measures Towards Affordable and Clean Energy

Energy-efficient renovation and building

Upgrade Existing Buildings To Higher Energy Efficiency

Upgrading the Central Air Conditioning System at the Mechanical and Electrical Plant (MEP) & propose new modular Air cooled Chiller system at DeTAR Putra (Main Hall) UNIMAS are the projects where UNIMAS upgrade existing buildings to higher energy efficiency. To solve the problem of central air conditioning and ensure optimal operation, it is proposed that the purchase of new chiller units be implemented in both location.

UNIMAS also implemented a project for energy efficiency by practicing the use of LED lights in several places in UNIMAS to reduce electricity consumption in UNIMAS. The following is a list of LED lighting projects at UNIMAS.
  1. Proposed Supply, Install, Testing And Commissioning Of Led Lighting For Chandelier At Bilik Kenyalang And Nilam, Detar Putra, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS), Kota Samarahan
  2. Proposed Supply, Install, Testing And Commissioning Of Led Backlit 3d Signage, Detar Putra, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas), Kota Samarahan 
  3. Proposed Supply, Install, Testing And Commissioning Of Lighting Spare Parts At Faculty Of Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas), Kota Samarahan
  4. Proposed New Lighting Wiring Works At Faculty Of Economics And Business, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas), Kota Samarahan  
  5. Proposed Supply, Install, Testing And Commissioning Of Lighting Spare Parts At Dewan Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra (Detar), Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas), Kota Samarahan 
  6. Proposed Supply, Install, Testing And Commissioning Of Led Lighting And Power Point At Dewan Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra (Detar), Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas), Kota Samarahan 

Energy and The Community

Local community outreach for energy efficiency
We offer community programs to educate the local community on the importance of energy efficiency and clean energy as well as fostering sustainability awareness. Among the programme that were organised in 2022 are :
