Energy is an important element for economic competitiveness and employment and thus, a huge amount of energy is required in countries with faster economic growth. Higher institutions of learning such as universities spent a lot of money on energy bills due to the nature of their daily activities. This paper sought to determine the level of energy saving awareness among Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) students. Therefore, a survey is conducted to determine the level of energy saving awareness in use of various electrical appliances and their preparedness to support efforts towards reducing energy wastage in institutions as well as in their home. The survey was carried out through the administration of questionnaires and it was distributed to the resident students of UTM. The results of the survey point to appreciable levels of energy saving awareness in the use of various consumer tools. The results show a high awareness level towards energy saving among UTM students, especially of the importance of energy saving. In addition, a significant number of UTM students were willing to support efforts towards reducing energy wastage, in terms of changing their habits, both on time and money to save more energy in the long run.
