This grid-connected solar PV system is the largest single solar rooftop in Malaysia, covering an area of 410,837 sq ft. The goal, he adds, is to create a low-carbon campus. With an efficient energy management policy already in place, UTP is now upgrading the campus infrastructure with the installation of energy-efficient and energy-saving equipment for its heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, lighting and the implementation of digital solutions such as Building Management System to monitor and control the campus’ energy needs.
In addition, UTP is also committed to the management of its forested areas and the conservation of the biodiversity it holds. From innovations in green buildings to advancements aiming towards zero waste and zero carbon, and the generation of clean energy and water for all, research at UTP considers the complex challenges faced by the world today.
