“…However, the few studies that exist agree that HVAC is the primary energy user, and have shown a link between outside temperature and energy usage. For example, Jomoah et al (2013) discovered that HVAC and lighting were the most significant consumers on university campuses in the GCC. Computers in addition to HVAC and lighting, were a large consumer according to Alfaoyzan and Almasri (2023).…”

This study investigates energy consumption in general and in universities in particular. A literature review was used as the methodology of the study to show the energy consumption purposes, major findings, research gaps, limitations, and future research about how to analyze energy consumption levels. The number of references examined was 60, with 29 references about universities and some of them are concentrating on the buildings’ consumption in the GCC area. Most of the references concentrated on investigating case studies in different countries. Analysis of the findings showed that tools such as big data analytics, machine learning, simulations, and predictive models were used. However, big data analytics was the most important one. It was found that AC systems are the most important component of energy consumption, especially in hot weather countries. The studies also showed that monitoring the consumption rates will reduce the total consumption of energy. In universities, the type of the building and the day index were found the most important factors affecting energy consumption. Factors such as number of smart devices, location, and floor space were found to have different positive and negative impacts on energy consumption from one study to another. Recommendations for future research were also presented.

“…Saudi academic establishments strive to develop graduates with technical proficiency and a profound comprehension of sustainable practices and global outlooks (Alabdulaziz, 2019). Integrating IT-enabled infrastructure enhancements has farreaching effects encompassing various aspects of society, including academic frameworks, teaching methods and the broader sociocultural environment (Almaiah, Ayouni, et al, 2022;Jomoah et al, 2013). Using IT for sustainability reporting, performance evaluation and environmental impact monitoring, the case study emphasises integrating ESG principles into higher education (Al-Ghurbani et al, 2022;Khan et al, 2022).…”

The present study explores the relationships between information technology and sustainability in higher education infrastructure, analysing their effects on education quality, innovation and research outcomes. The study investigates the intricate relationships among infrastructure enhancements, technological integration and sustainability initiatives. The study thoroughly examines current literature and a case study of Saudi institutions, highlighting the transformative capacity of IT-enabled sustainability programmes. The research involves conducting comprehensive interviews with faculty members from six Saudi universities together with a quantitative analysis utilising replies from 784 students and faculty members. The study uses Structural Equation Modelling (SEM-PLS) to analyse the data. The results indicate significant effects, both direct and indirect, as well as moderating effects. These findings emphasise the positive associations between infrastructure upgrades and their impact on sustainability, improvement in education quality and increased innovation and research output. The study’s implications have practical relevance for academic institutions and policymakers. The social aspect underscores the significance of higher education in shaping conscientious global individuals. This research adds to the growing understanding of the multifaceted connection between IT, sustainability and higher education infrastructure. It provides useful insights for future academic and policy efforts.

“…Implementing the building energy management system (BMS) on campus provides a 14% increase in electricity consumption efficiency (Jomoah et al, 2013). Controlling peak load with a real-time energy monitoring system (Benetti et al, 2016) has been shown to improve the efficiency of electrical energy consumption, such as optimization of HVAC on campus (Kaur et al, 2018) or a decentralized system architecture approach for load management in demand-side (Weinert and Mose, 2016).…”

The energy management strategy is the key to increasing the energy efficiency index (EEI) and controlling buildings' carbon emissions. This article discusses the energy policy strategy at Siliwangi University based on four main components of green campus: the profile of the electricity load, energy consumption, the rate of the number of vehicles, and vehicle activity in the campus environment. We propose four scenarios to meet the EEI and carbon emissions standards in 2025. The analysis of carbon emission production uses the UI Green Metric approach by referring to the carbon emission strategy from the Climate Action Tracker (CAT) and the profile of the world bank. Simultaneously, the EEI analysis uses the ASEAN-USAID standard, which is also used in the Indonesian National Standard (SNI). The conclusion is that even with the highest scenario to meet the target EEI level in 2025, Siliwangi University can only reach the EEI level in the "Extremely Efficient" category for the area with AC facilities and Extremely-Inefficient class for the area with AC facilities. The analysis results show that the most considerable contribution of carbon emissions is from motorbikes, 66%, cars and buses 33% and electricity use only 1.4%. Although the use of electricity does not have a significant emission impact, the EEI analysis results show a tendency towards electricity waste. Siliwangi University must immediately implement electric vehicles on campus to reduce carbon emissions from the mobility of motorbikes, cars, and buses.
