Green Campus Design for National Institute of Science and Technology: Implementing UI GreenMetric Criteria to Create Environmentally Friendly and Sustainable Campus

Abstract

The National Institute of Science and Technology (ISTN) campus is a strategic location with a large green open space area. However, the ISTN campus has not been included in the ranking of the green campus category based on the UI GreenMetric. The UI GreenMetric is a set of guidelines for ranking environmentally friendly campuses based on six categories: Setting and Infrastructure (SI), Energy and Climate change (EC), Waste (WS), Water (WR), Transportation (TR), and Education and Research (ED). The purpose of this research is to transform the existing ISTN campus to make it fit the green campus criteria. The green campus master plan is created to increasing the score UI GreenMetric of the ISTN campus. The project is accomplished by conducting a site survey to determine the campus area and then analyzing the area parameters using ArcGIS, an application for making maps, analyzing data, and reporting the results. The design method applied after calculating the ISTN campus score is intended to increase the UI GreenMetric score of the campus and make it more environmentally friendly and sustainable. The design is prepared in Sketchup, an application used to produce 3D models. The result of this research is the total score of the UI GreenMetric analysis of the existing ISTN campus and the new ISTN green campus master plan design. This research is conducted with the hope that it will help the ISTN campus become an environmentally friendly and sustainable campus and qualify to enter the UI GreenMetric ranking.
