“…A utilização de energias renováveis apresenta ótimas soluções sustentáveis para campi universitários (Yarbrough et al, 2015, Kalkan et al, 2011. Para avaliar o desempenho da tecnologia solar fotovoltaica, foi instalado em setembro de 1997, no Campus da Trindade -UFSC, o primeiro sistema fotovoltaico do Brasil integrado à arquitetura e interligado à rede elétrica, com potência instalada de 2,015 kWp, composto por módulos fotovoltaicos de filmes finos de silício amorfo, distribuído em 5 strings com 13 módulos cada, orientado para o norte geográfico, com desvio de 6º para o leste (Rüther e Dacoregio, 2000).…”

Along with the rapid ongoing developments and expansions of the King Abdulaziz University campus, it is sensible to rethink the way electrical and cooling energy is generated and to explore methods to increase energy efficiency in the academic facilities. A conceptual energy master plan for the entire campus has been developed to achieve feasible results which require a substantial reduction in energy demand in the first place. It combines strategies at the master plan level and the micro level (case study: a single building). Establishing a correlating link between the macro and the micro level is imperative to improve the efficiency of the total system. Therefore, possibilities for centralized and decentralized (building related) energy generation have also been investigated to improve the efficiency of the total system. After outlining the general strategies for renewable energy generation on the master plan level in the university campus of King Abdulaziz University, this study explores the potential of increasing the energy efficiency of an individual building. Key energy saving actions have been simulated using IDA-ICE to assess the possibility to release the load on the shared existing and future energy infrastructure. Besides roof-integrated solar panels, the capacity of carport incorporated energy generation has also been analyzed. The results of the study indicate possible substantial savings on the current consumption of non-renewable energy resources and a combined generation of electrical energy and solar thermal cooling can lead to high coverage fraction.

“…These include construction of the green buildings [17,18], alternative forms of transportation [19], waste recycling [20,21], and reduction of the resource consumption [22,23]. In addition, sustainable campus should consider the control of room temperature and humidity [24]. The most common metrics in these aspects include greenhouse gas emissions, carbon footprint, and environmental load.…”

In our days, the sustainable development concept has trendy become a necessity in pedagogy. The campus is not only a fashion of an engineering design but also a place for sustainable learning put into practice. In view of the fact that the United Nations Declaration on the Environment focuses on the concept of sustainability in higher education since 1972 considering a sustainable campus formulation which has been increasingly attracting international attentions. This research tries to profoundly observe the evaluation of the sustainability of a campus taking Damascus University as a case study. Semistructured interviews with key informant stakeholders were executed to define critical factors of sustainable campus development. The weightings of these key factors were established by using the analytic network process method. These findings were provided useful inputs for future endeavors of sustainable university development which would contribute towards responses to rapid urbanization. IntroductionThe higher education sector plays a significant role in achieving a more sustainable future as students become future leaders, technical staff or the backbone of social work depending on what they learned will directly affect their future decisions on social sustainable development (SD) [1]. It is not unusual that university campus occupies considerable land at either urban or regional areas. Moreover, universities play an important role in our society in terms of sustainable technology studies providing opportunities tackle environmental issues. Sustainability initiatives have been taken up by an increasing number of colleges and universities around the world [2] so many universities bear obligations to contribute toward SD [3].The Stockholm Declaration (1972) was the first attempt introducing principles of SD into the higher education sector. This was followed by constant efforts and initiatives such as the Talloires Declaration (1990), the Halifax Declaration (1991), the Association of University Leaders for a Sustainable Future (ULSF) (1992) and the Swansea Declaration (1993). Along with a broader coverage of topics ranging from campus operation to community engagement, all these Declarations and Initiatives served similar purposes, i.e. promoting the development of sustainable campuses [4]. In addition, a growing number of universities over the world have signed these international declarations that are then reflected in the sustainability initiatives [5].As an example in this connection, the Syrian government has released a number of policies to promote SD in the higher education sector. As specified in the Program of Action for National Environmental Publicity and Education, higher education institutions are encouraged to implement green university initiatives, e.g. incorporating environmental sustainability into curricula. A series of technical guidelines and management measures were released in order to facilitate this process. These include opinions on promoting the resource efficient campus developm...
