Energy management methodology for energy sustainable actions in University of Campinas - Brazil

Lessons from unsuccessful energy and buildings sustainability actions in university campus operations

“…Contrary to the RES, these do not depend on neither the location nor the size of the campus but rather on the equipment, and the impacts are modest but undisputed, as expected. As an example, energy management systems seem to help all the participating HEIs in decreasing energy consumption (Cypriano et al, 2019;Kolokotsa et al, 2016;Podoprigora et al, 2020) and provide support in the management of PV systems (Angelim and Affonso, 2018;Mizuno et al, 2013). Irrespective of the campus' location or dimension, energy audits or estimates of energy consumption are unanimously reported as a successful starting point for leveraging further initiatives.…”

Towards a Simulator for Green Smart Campus Systems

“…Affordable and clean energy [Gomes et al 2017], [John et al 2017], [Wang et al 2017], [Malatji and Ntsaluba 2018], [Okeniyi et al 2018], [Akindeji et al 2019], [Cypriano et al 2019], [Weng et al 2019], [Yuliansyah et al 2019] 11 Sustainable cities and communities [Li et al 2017b], [Subbarao et al 2019] 12 Responsible consumption and production [Lo 2019] 13 Climate action [Adenle and Alshuwaikhat 2017], [Li et al 2017a], [Rodrigues et al 2019] Given the amount of smart campus solutions that can be related to the SDGs, we see that the university is an environment conducive to the achievement of these UN goals. Throughout our work, we intend to combine several of these existing solutions to create a unified green smart campus framework (SDGreen), as is further detailed in Section 3.…”
