Jatinangor, 30/11/24 – The Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) at Universitas Padjadjaran has taken a major step toward building a more efficient and sustainable campus by adopting the Smart Building concept. This initiative is designed to improve energy efficiency and create a more comfortable and safe environment for learning and working.
One of the most noticeable upgrades is the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology into the lighting systems around the faculty’s main building and gardens. Using strategically placed motion and light sensors, the system automatically controls lighting—activating when movement is detected or when natural light is low, and turning off when it’s no longer needed. This automation has led to a significant reduction in electricity usage.
“By introducing smart building features, we’re aiming to build a campus that is not only energy-efficient but also safer and more user-friendly. It reflects our broader commitment to green and sustainable campus development,” said FPIK Dean Prof. Sc. Yudi Nurul Ihsan, S.Pi., M.Si.
Looking ahead, FPIK plans to expand the use of smart technology to other areas, including air conditioning systems and campus security infrastructure. These upgrades will allow for better energy management and enhanced monitoring capabilities across the faculty’s facilities.
This move underscores FPIK’s dedication to leveraging modern technology to support sustainability goals. It’s hoped that the faculty’s example will inspire similar transformations across other parts of the university, helping pave the way for a smarter, greener campus in the years to come.
