“…The diversity of article sources such as 70 conference articles from 61 different conferences and 120 journal articles from 84 different journals indicate that smart campus has been studied from various lenses. Indeed the contributions of smart campus can be noted in different disciplines and concept areas such as technology and engineering (Cao et al ., 2018), sustainability (Kourgiozou et al ., 2021), smart city studies (Florina, 2020), energy (Behi et al ., 2022), environment (Malatji and Ntsaluba, 2018), building and architecture (Azizi et al ., 2020), socio-technical (Engels et al ., 2019) and education (Huafeng, 2021).…”

PurposeRecent attention to the developments focusing on the educational services has been noteworthy, with the educational environment specifically the smart campus emerging both as a domain and as an opportunity. As a domain worthy of exploration, a number of research efforts are being conceptualized around smart campus initiatives. The existing bouquet of research publications on smart campus provides a testimony of the enthusiasm and also exposes the heterogeneous attempts the domain has witnessed to date. The available evidence is still inadequate to provide clarity on the thrust areas of research around smart campus.Design/methodology/approachGiven the understanding, this study intends to decode the domain to get an early impression of the focus of the research concentration around smart campus. Thereby the study resorts to an automated text-mining approach using Python on contents shortlisted systematically, and published between the period 2010 and May 2022, from select databases.FindingsBased on the analysis it was possible to identify eight themes (i.e. smart campus characteristics, smart campus stakeholders, smart campus frameworks, smart campus technologies, smart campus infrastructure, smart campus evaluation, smart learning environment and smart campus applications) characterizing research efforts within the smart campus literature.Originality/valueThe themes around the smart campus showcase the thrust areas receiving attention. These characterize extant research endeavours in the smart campus domain and can offer useful pointers to researchers going forward. This awareness can also be beneficial to institutional leadership and technology providers intending to implement smart campus initiatives, contributing to the development of the educational environment.

“…Makatji and Ntsaluba [62] studied how to reduce the environmental footprint of the energy supply to a campus, by relying on renewable energy sources and energy storage. The case study was the Auckland Park campus of the University of Johannesburg (South Africa) and the authors demonstrated the possibility to satisfy the campus' needs with an off-grid system relying on PVs, biogas produced mainly from food waste, and battery storage.…”

Smart Campuses: Extensive Review of the Last Decade of Research and Current Challenges

et al. 2021

Novel intelligent systems to assist the energy transition and improve sustainability and people's life can be deployed at different scales, ranging from a house to an entire region. University campuses are an interesting intermediate size (big enough to matter and small enough to be tractable) for research, development, test and training on the integration of smartness at all levels, which led to the emergence of the concept of "smart campus" over the last few years. This review article proposes an extensive analysis of the scientific literature on smart campuses from the last decade (2010-2020). The 182 selected publications are distributed into seven categories of smartness: smart building, smart environment, smart mobility, smart living, smart people, smart governance and smart data. The main open questions and challenges regarding smart campuses are presented at the end of the review and deal with sustainability and energy transition, acceptability and ethics, learning models, open data policies and interoperability. The present work was carried out within the framework of the Energy Network of the Regional Leaders Summit (RLS-Energy) as part of its multilateral research efforts on smart regions.

“…This domain focuses on the environmental effects in pollution, promotion and protection of green areas, waste and grey waters management, indoor and outdoor buildings, and continuous food systems support through food and beverage purchases [14], [15]. The smart campus environment is associated with campus management towards water, waste, and energy resources [16], [17]. It is associated with people's interaction on campus with the environment to reduce power consumption and practice conserving manners.…”

Recently, universities around the world are actively implementing smart campus. Smart campus is an initiative to enhance a better experience in campus environment especially in teaching and learning process and other services. In order successfully implement smart campus initiative, framework is needed to define the scope of the smart campus implementation. There are several universities in Malaysia that currently taken initiatives to implement smart campus. In this paper, we conducted a survey in the literature and resources from Malaysian universities to identify smart campus initiative implemented in accordance of smart campus domain. The result shows that all domains of smart campus are implemented. Smart Management domain has the highest number which is 41% of overall initiatives taken by the universities. The second highest domain are Smart Learning at 21% followed by Green Campus at 11%. We also identify that there are several new domains of smart campus that was implemented by several universities in Malaysia.
