UI GreenMetric World University Ranking:
Background of the Ranking
The UI GreenMetric World University Ranking is an initiative of Universitas Indonesia which is
being launched in 2010. The aim of this ranking is to provide the result of online survey regarding the
current condition and policies related to Green Campus and Sustainability in the Universities all over
the world. We hope that the ranking will be useful to university leaders in their efforts to put in place
ecofriendly policies and manage behavioral change among the academic community at their
respective institutions. We are inviting thousands of universities around the world to take part.
Universities that wish to participate are asked to provide numeric data on a number of criteria that can
give a picture of their commitment to the greening of their campus and putting in place
environmentally friendly policies that support sustainability. The criteria include such baseline
information as the size of the university, both spatially and in terms of population, the campus
location and the amount of green space; and also information on energy use, transport, water use and
recycling and waste treatment. In addition, it ask about efforts being made by the institution towards
establishing green policies and management.

The Universidad Nacional de Colombia is a public educational institution founded in 1867. It has currently 8
seats located in different regions of the country, where 53,000 students are formed per year. The environmental
management is an essential part of its foundations and it is reflected in the environmental training offered to all
academic programs and the environmental policy, adopted since 2011. 25% of its seats has an environmental
management system certified by the ISO 14001 regulation, and the remaining 75% is currently in the
implementation process. The surface of the Universidad Nacional reaches 4,191,906 m2, out of which 28.67% is
covered by forest vegetation and 48.97% by planted vegetation. The considerable number of botanical gardens,
forest reserves, arboretums and palmetums within its grounds is worth highlighting.
The good environmental practices developed inside the Universidad Nacional include: the separation of organic
waste, which is composted and then employed for the maintenance of gardens, thus reducing the use of
fertilizers and chemicals; the implementation of programs to reduce the consumption of disposable cups by
providing free reusable glasses; and the collection and treatment of hazardous waste, including those generated
in more than 500 laboratories.
Likewise, the collection and use of rainwater and the generation of electrical energy from solar panels is carried
out. The main seats of the University are integrated to the public transportation systems and cycling
infrastructure of the cities, and there is also a bicycle loan service for the internal transit.
Bioclimatic elements have been incorporated in the most recent buildings, where natural lighting and ventilation
have been included since the design stage. The real-time measurement of the electric energy consumption per
22
building is also being implemented. With these practices, the Universidad Nacional de Colombia becomes a
leading institution in environmental management in the country, and that is reflected on the society through its
students and graduates.
In its pursuit of distinction as a green campus and as part of its endeavor as a world-class university, Jordan
University of Science and Technology (JUST) has been working on sustainability of its campus life and
operations through developing relevant policies and action plans. In order to achieve this goal a sustainability
policy was prepared and approved by the Dean‟s Council to manage and plan all components identified as
pillars of sustainable campus life and operations. The policy establishes goals in eight areas of sustainable
practices, namely, Water Management, Solid Waste Management, Energy Management and Carbon Emissions,
Biodiversity, Teaching and Research, Sustainable Construction, Sustainable Procurement, and Sustainable
Transportation. On the road to the full implementation of this policy, JUST has already have several initiatives
on the ground with action plans being developed to achieve targets sought in its sustainability policy. This paper
describes the progress made and presents the steps forward to achieve sustainability of JUST campus life and
operations.
The role of universities in developing strategies to improve environmental performance has proved to be crucial.
Their participation has a direct impact on the population; not only because of the large size of the institutions,
but also because they are responsible for training the professionals of the future. With this in mind, we aimed to
obtain objective and accurate information on the current environmental performance of the UNAM buildings.
As a result, an audit tool was designed that culminated in the creation of the UNAM Environmental Badge
(UNAM-EB). This tool analyzes the environmental performance of buildings in 4 main categories: energy
consumption, water use, waste disposal and the acquisition of high consumption office materials (responsible
consumption). In general, results showed an environmental performance with great improvement margin,
especially in the waste disposal category. The results obtained applying the UNAM-EB periodically to an
institution that belongs to the UNAM display an average improvement on all 4 areas of 17.4% between the first
and second evaluation, demonstrating the effectiveness of the recommendations issued. The objective of
obtaining accurate information and continuously monitor the environmental performance of the UNAM
buildings was achieved. In addition, it has been observed a greater participation from the faculties and institutes
in the practices that lead the institutions to a better environmental performance, facilitated by the
implementation of the recommendations of the UNAM-EB.
National Chi Nan University (NCNU) was founded in Puli, Nantou County, Taiwan. NCNU campus is
surrounded by a natural and ecological diversity. Thus, we have always valued and attached great importance to
carbon reduction, environmental education and conservation. Since NCNU was officially established, we had
completed the pollution control equipment, operation system and management in the campus. Buildings in
NCNU were also designed to meet Green Building regulation with over 88% greening and natural ecosystem in
campus. In order to maintain the environment and ecosystem in the campus, NCNU promoted the environmental
education through academic research and in community, such as educating the faculty and students to get into
the habit of conserving energy to reduce carbon emission in daily life and becoming environmentally-liable
citizen to form the sustainable development culture, then influence other schools, communities and societies in
the neighborhood. NCNU devotes itself to sustainable development as a community care provider, an
environment friendly mover, a sustainable development educator, a comprehensive community development
pilot, and a corporate social responsibility practitioner.
NCNU focus more on campus sustainable development movement recently. Firstly, we have signed The
Talloires Declaration in 2009 to be one of the world leaders in developing, creating, supporting and maintaining
sustainability. Secondly, we devote ourselves to social care issues, such as new immigrants, aborigines,
23
disadvantaged students, geriatric care, and etc. Thirdly, we address social and environment issues by
collaborating with 3 local sustainable communities- Tao-Mi, Lan-Cheng and Mei-Xi, in the aspects of eco-town,
community care, green economy, culture promotion, and civic engagement, and as a result, we came out new
comprehensive community development movement together. Fourthly, the sewage disposal in NCNU
conformed to the regulation. Fifthly, total electricity and water usage remain the same without increase;
Reclaimed water occupied 39.83% of the total water, established transparent solar collectors, built energy
management system, and the treated wastewater reclamation and reuse. Sixthly, we have organized
environmental education and compulsory occupational safety and health education and training. Seventhly, we
have set up Green University team, gained ISO 14001 certificate of environmental management and joined
some Green University Alliances, such as Green University Union of Taiwan and etc. NCNU has a strong
tradition of outreach and public engagement that go back to the very beginning of the university. In the crisis of
energy shortage and global warming, NCNU acting as an education institute will take its social responsibility to
make every effort for earth sustainability.
Environmental Campus Birkenfeld – A model university site successfully combining theory and practice
for a sustainable future
Klaus Helling 1, a and Klaus Rick 2, b
Umwelt-Campus Birkenfeld, University of Applied Sciences Trier, Germany
To augment sustainability standards into reality it is indispensable for a contemporary education facility to
combine theoretical approach and practical action. In the 21 st century forward-looking universities have the
obligation to demonstrate and express realised and well performing sustainable solutions in their sites as well as
in their lecture and research subjects: building services, supply and technology should show the benefits while
researching and teaching resource efficiency, zero emission, social or ecological progress - on a high
international level.
Besides it is uncontended that environmental and social issues cannot simply be „added‟ to basic economic
needs. We all know that new solutions have to be found, main stream has to be rethought, reengineered cross-
linked and reassessed to lead to substancial progress. So in our networks and projects together with our students
we act and decide free-spirited while we cooperate internationally and interdisciplinary developing our scientific
contents and the university itself with ethical responsibility.
Environmental Campus Birkenfeld tries to live all these ideas since foundation in 1996. So in all our curriculas
we consequently integrate classical education with tailor-made important fields of sustainability: low carb, new
solar or water technologies and engineering standards etc. are always combined with greener business,
technology and management.
Finally, the site itself is a highly efficient facility well equipped with environmentally friendly advanced
technologies. As a will of policy it is a demonstration model for Europe‟s first “zero emission campus” and in
this respect unique. It is one of the greenest universities in Germany.

Suranaree University of Technology, Thailand
Transforming a 1,100 hectares deforested area to to a “Green and Clean University” needs long-term
commitments and implementations from all stakeholders of a university. For the past 20 years, SUT has
achieved evidently from a number of Thailand National Awards and from the the UI GreenMetricWorld
University Ranking. Many challenges have been overcomed by a good policy and implementation. But, many
challenges are in the pipeline, especially on the mindset, attitude and behaviors the stakeholdes toward
“sustainability” and financial support. SUT is willing to maintain a commitment to be a “World-class
Sustainable University” within 2020 and a reliable pillar of society on sustainability.
DYU has done to shape a multiple environmental quality aspects with good mountains, good water, and good
life. Following the concepts of green university, DYU develop its own blueprint of sustainable management
strategies for school development. The trilogy, such as green ecological construction, green life management,
and green courses and experience is the major category for long-term developing. DYU has done a series
reduction operation to achieve electricity and water conservation, as well as transportation management, for a
large campus of more than 12,000 members, however, without lowering down quality of campus life. Also, the
certifications of ISO14001 environmental management system and ISO50001 energy management system can
prove the well performance of this green campus. DYU recognizes that creating a sustainable campus can
actually strengthen its core research and teaching mission as the result of reaching the road of green.
Using rankings as picture of the change in universities: the Ca' Foscari University experience

Sustainability represents the main challenge for the human society and for the entire Planet, as highlighted also
by the Agenda 2030, which put the sustainable development as the target of actions at the global scale for the
next 15 years. Analyzing the 17 Goals (SDGs) of the Agenda, it is clear the effort to move towards an integrated
sustainability perspective.
The perspective of sustainability is essential for Universities, intrinsic to their mission: these institutions
generate directly and indirectly environmental, social and economic impacts.
Universities play a fundamental role in educating future generations, contributing to the spreading of
sustainability principles, so that sustainable behaviours are adopted by responsible citizens. From this
perspective, the action of Universities must be pervasive, first of all considering their institutional pillars: from
teaching, integrating sustainability in degree and professional master programs, to research, fostering projects
focused on sustainability.
For these reasons also ranking systems must include sustainability as a metric that can give a real picture of
what a university is and what a university does. Moreover rankings are important tools to bring changes in the
higher education institutions, setting indicators and sharing good practice.
But rankings must be defined in order to consider the different contexts, in particular those rankings specialized
in an issue like sustainability, where actions and policies are strongly influenced by the surrounding
environment and socio-economic situations.
Venice is a place of strong contrasts and contradictions. Through the centuries, it has represented an example of
sustainability, being the urban tissue co-evolved with surrounding lagoon, at present, however, it shows a highly
critical condition of unsustainability, hosting more than 20 millions of tourists per year in spite of its extremely
fragile tissue.
The case of Ca‟ Foscari University of Venice could be a good example of how an higher education can
implement a strategy of sustainable development. Since 2010, Ca‟ Foscari assumed Sustainability as one of the
pillar of its developing strategy for the future, directly assuming it in the Statute. In that year, indeed, the
sustainable Ca‟ Foscari project was inaugurated, aiming to include sustainability as a guiding principle for all
University activities.
The experience of Ca‟ Foscari proves that the path towards sustainability is never accomplished, it requires a
continuous commitment and only a strategic-organizational approach may lead to the achievement of
increasingly better performances, both for the institution and for the present and future generations.

Green campus is one key initiative designed to promote the concept of sustainability among universities
worldwide. Driven by Agenda 21 of the Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, the concept has been
adopted by many stakeholders globally and broadened to address a bigger agenda for green and sustainable
development. The initiative has increasingly gained special attention from universities in many countries, in
order to transform themselves into “Green Campus”. Campus greening is often regarded as the first step
universities take towards achieving sustainability. This paper focuses on challenges faced by Universiti
Malaysia Pahang (UMP) in the effort of greening the campus. Various initiatives implemented under different
clusters are discussed. Finally, the paper also highlights the commitment made by the university to ensure both
short and long-term objectives of campus greening and sustainability are achieved.
This article presents a theoretical review of the formation of the Federal Network of Vocational, Scientific and
Technological Education. In this context, through a qualitative study, a bibliographical survey of work policies
and multidisciplinary actions was carried out, focusing on sustainable development. Finally, this article shows
that the sustainable growth policy is part of the IFSULDEMINAS mission and, for this reason, has been betting
on investments in infrastructure, because it believes actions of this type have great examples to stimulate the
academic community to walk together, Towards a sustainable culture march.
Sustainable water management currently becomes more important because of water shortages and deteriorating
its quality. This article reports the Smart Eco-campus program at the Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember
(ITS) for managing water resources by presenting a case study, including water conservation, wastewater
treatment and water recycle within the campus area. ITS is one of the leading science and technological
university in Indonesia which has many activities that cover teaching activity, laboratory and research works,
student and other supporting activities. It is located in a coastal tropical area, mainly with dry and rainy seasons,
although the seasonal period becomes uncertain nowadays. The campus area has a high level of ground water
table with a high salinity concentration. It is less than 2 m depth and oligohaline salinity, respectively.
Therefore, it is rather difficult to cultivate its water, even for gardening. However water management, in term of
design, operation and maintenance is vital to sustain water availability for campus livelihoods. Several programs
were implemented in ITS campus that includes water retention, water recycle, domestic and laboratory
wastewater treatment. Another problem is that the distributed piping water which is provided by a municipal
water company is not drinkable, hence the campus also has initiatives to construct some small drinking water
treatment stations in several places, as the result of collaboration with alumni and university partners.
Universidad del Rosario is a private institution founded in 1653, located in Bogotá, Colombia. The University
has a total number of 13000 students in three campuses along the city. The main one is an urban campus in the
city center with historical buildings; the second one is in the middle of a residential area; and the last one is in
the suburbs. We, in a philosophy of good neighbor, understand that our activities must be socially fair,
economically viable and environmentally safe, and makes us responsible to preserve the environment for the
future generations, in a city that does not offer a good public transportation.
In this sense, within the framework of the environmental management system (EMS), we have established six
(6) different programs of environmental management: solid waste, water consumption, energy, air, flora-fauna
and education. Each one of these programs has a group of strategies aiming to prevent, mitigate, correct, control
or compensate the potential and generated impacts, covering social, environmental and economic variables.
26
The objective of the air program is to implement strategies that seek to improve air quality in the areas of
influence of the University by reducing the consumption of fuel and encouraging the local community to use
alternative means of transportation such as: walking, bicycles, carpooling, public transportation and reducing the
use of private cars, widely used in Bogotá.

Higher education should have four strategies to contribute to sustainable future: (1) by improving environmental
and sustainability literacy, (2) by creating curriculum incorporating environmentally sustainable design on
campuses, (3) by creating curriculum involving improvement in local communities and (4) by expanding and
improving architectural education [1]. These steps have been adopted and maintained by Universitas Negeri
Semarang to build a conservation university. First of all, the university does not only focus on physical
environment but also on characters development and cultures. It means that the university has put an emphasis
on educating the students and faculty members on the conservation values. Currently. UNNES has developed
modules of the eight values of conservation: (1) inspiration, humanitarian, awareness, innovation, sportiveness,
creativity, honesty and fairness. This paper will elaborate the university efforts in immersing those eight values
into curriculum and conservation.
The National Pingtung University of Science and Technology (NPUST) has been handling
various kinds of waste for a long time. The waste handling strategy and program is not solely a matter of
university staff, it also actively engages students and faculty members. In additional to Reduce, Reuse,
and Recycle, the university also emphasizes on education that raises everyone‟s awareness so that the
waste per person can be reduced.
One of main concerns and issues facing modern world is global warming and reducing of greenhouse effect
escalation. Worldwide researchers and environmental activist has been seeking revolutionary answers and
encouraging our daily lifestyle to more environmental friendly. Bogor Agricultural University as one of the
biggest universities in Indonesia actively plays the significant role to contribute environmental friendly
movement. Since 2015 Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) has launched a new program called IPB Green
Transportation, and the ultimate goal of the program is to reduce greenhouse gas emission. The program has
three main elements development, i.e. 1) Mass Transportation System, 2) Non-Motorize Commuter, 3)
Verification Gate and Parking System. One of the excellent results of the program implementation is greenhouse
gas emission reduction up to 47% in two years.
The University of Sao Paulo (USP) is the largest and one of the most prestigious universities in South America
with an academic population of nearly 150,000 people (127,000 students, 17,000 staff members and 6,000
teachers). The USP has 14 campuses around the state of Sao Paulo and an annual budget of US$ 1.4 billion,
totally funded by the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Almost twenty years ago, USP started to take action in the area
of sustainability and in the reduction of its environmental impacts. Due to its immense size and the presence of
diverse properties in rural and urban areas, it was necessary to define environmental policies for all campuses
prior to decision-making and the establishment of indicators and targets.
27
Since 2014, USP initiated a comprehensive Sustainability Management Plan. Coordinated by the
Superintendence of Environmental Management of the university (SGA), this plan was designed with the
following phases:
1) Definition of Sustainability Issues Policy for the university (November 2015)
2) Definition of Sustainability Issues and Plans (June 2016)
3) Sustainability Masterplans with 11 thematic chapters for each campus (July2017)
4) Specific Sustainability Programs of each Faculty or Departments (December 2017)
All these actions are ongoing and the deadline for their completion is December 2017. It is an ambitious plan,
with almost 1,000 people involved and working in the process. This work intends to present the methodologies
developed to achieve the sustainability goals of the University of Sao Paulo and the results already achieved.

This paper focused on the energy management in Universitas Indonesia Depok Campus based on the Master
Plan and the implementation since 2013. Some developments and improvements have been made during the last
four years. Integrated Laboratory and Research Center (ILRC) building equipped with solar catchment had been
built. Since 2014, there are some infrastructures development such as LEED building certification at the Student
Activity Center (Pusgiwa), solar panel and green roof installment at the Faculty Club Building and Art and
Culture building, solar air-conditioning system at the Faculty of Engineering. Continuing these sustain
development in tracks brings Universitas Indonesia as the one of the ideal campus in the world and having the
third rank in UI GreenMetric 2015 for “energy and climate change” category. Even though some target and
prestige have been achieved, several home works and challenges need to be accomplished in the near future to
ensure and maintain the energy management at Universitas Indonesia towards sustainable campus in the ever
competing environments around the globe.
Today agriculture has to pass with extensive to an intensive method of the organization of work. At the same time, the
intensification of process is impossible without modernization of the sector. It, in turn, demands attraction of
investments and implementation of a transfer of new technologies on what work of the AgriTech Hub is concentrated.
The AgriTech Hub of Kazakh National Agrarian University is the platform providing interaction of agrarian science,
education and production. Besides, in cooperation with the best foreign partners, Agrohub will provide a transfer of
new technologies and knowledge in the shortest possible time, thereby increasing competitiveness of agrarian sector
of the country in general.
There are 80 experimental platforms in various regions of the country for approbation of scientific research and
technology in Kazakh National Agrarian University. Also, for the effective analysis of forecasting of productivity
there is 100% access to statistical data of agriculture. The main objective of system of dissemination of knowledge in
the sphere of agrarian and industrial complex is introduction of the best international and domestic experience in
production through specialized educational programs. For transfer of this knowledge and skills that leads to
professional development, we have created school of farmers and the extension-program which covers more than 12
thousand farmers. Creation of an agro technological hub has allowed us to cooperate with the leading foreign higher
education institutions and scientific centers closely. The AgriTech Hub is being a core of university, using tools of
public-private partnership, in the shortest possible time will transform the innovative ideas, technologies and new
knowledge to agrobusiness, thereby increasing competitiveness of agrarian sector of the country in general.
Integrated management of solid wastes and hazardous materials in a green University Campus. The case
of the University of Ioannina
Triantafyllos A. Albanis*
University of Ioannina, Ioannina, Greece
The University of Ioannina is a medium-sized public Greek University, located at the outskirts of Ioannina city,
the capital of the region of Epirus - in northwestern Greece. Ioannina is one of the most elegant and interesting
cities in the country with a long history and tradition in arts, literature and commerce. The University includes
15 academic Departments in a campus of 3,350 acres and with premises of 225,620 sq.m. The University in
figures has 14,988 active students, 3,113 postgraduate students, 493 members of academic and research staff, 1
temporary teaching staff, 66 members of specific technical & laboratory teaching staff, 53 technical laboratory
staff and 218 administrative staff.
Since 1998, the University has established a system of Integrated management of solid wastes and has
developed the full recycle of paper, plastics, metals, glasses, organic part and electronic materials, in
collaboration with SPIDER company. Especially for food and University restaurants, where daily 4,500 students
and staff members have launch and dinner, operates a composting system in order to transform the wastes into
compost for garden purposes (1,2). Finally, since 2003 the University of Ioannina has implemented the
Laboratory Waste Management System. The laboratory waste is collected in laboratory space and then into
29
temporary storage containers. A company specialized in the management of laboratory and hazardous waste
with qualified staff, controls each bucket in accordance with applicable national and European standards and
then receives them. This work analyzes in detail the integrate system and describes all the physicochemical and
biological procedures involved in recycling and composting as well as the benefits for campus environment.
The amount of greenhouse gases in the Earth‟s atmosphere is increasing rapidly as a result of energy demand
and the usage of fossil fuels since industrial revolution. Greenhouse gases (GHG) causes the global warming
and climate change due to capability of their heat absorption. The higher education institutions not only have a
research and education role but also have a role on exploring and practicing environmental sustainability. The
calculation of carbon footprint which is the measure of carbon dioxide or greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions
by an individual, organization, event or product expressed in CO 2 equivalents [1].
Institutions are working to become carbon neutral by reducing their GHG‟s. They are lowering energy usage,
using renewable energy and points the importance of sustainable living. The measurement and calculation of the
CO2 emission during activities at institutional level is a very important starting point and the data obtained by
carbon footprint calculations may helpful to reduce the environmental impacts of institutions.
In this study, the carbon footrprint of Bülent Ecevit University Devrek Campus, calculated by DEFRA method
for the years 2012 and 2016. The number of students, the infrastructural changes, transport, waste management,
recycling, electricity and fuel consumptions have analyzed for the years 2012 and 2016. Devrek Vocational
School‟s carbon footprint for the years 2012 and 2016 was found to be about 557 and 492 tons CO2-eq, with
heating, transportation and other activities contributing about 50- 35%, 37 -49% and 13-15% respectively.
Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) has moved up by 129 placings to 44 th ranking in the UI-GreenMetric World
University ranking 2016 compared to 173 th in 2015, due to our sustainability commitment under the
EcoCampus agenda. In line with the global call for the “The Future We Want” made at the Rio+20 Earth
Summit, UMS recognizes that fundamental changes need to be made in the way society thinks and acts towards
sustainable development. We believe that this can only be achieved through the education and transformation of
our values and lifestyles. Thus the idea of the EcoCampus was born with a vision to become a leading model of
the “new flagship EcoCampus” of the 21 st century. UMS is committed to be a university of excellence in
teaching and research, and an EcoCampus that incorporates due environmental considerations in it planning and
activities by being innovative, relevant and sustainable. The environmental stewardship towards sustainable
development will address local, national and global environment challenges in collaboration with stakeholders.
With its strategic location and a growing population of more than 18000 students and 2855 staff, UMS
recognizes that its decisions and actions can have a significant impact on the environmental, economic and
social dimensions of the region, at present and in future. The UMS EcoCampus Management Centre was
established in February 2013 to redefine and ”green” our policies and practices in an ecologically-friendly
context by setting new standards in campus management and ensuring the realization of EcoCampus
transformation plan based on five core values that integrated into the six key elements of EcoCampus. The
implementation of the action plan and stakeholders engagement are based on a seven steps approach. It is our
wish that the UMS staff and students could be proud ambassadors of “the practice of what they preach” on
campus.

King Abdulaziz University Strategy for Water Management
Habib M. Fardoun*1, a, Amin Noaman1, b
King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
Water is essential for the survival of all forms of life on earth. There can be no better expression of this fact than
the Qur‟anic dictum: “From water, we have created every living thing.” Almighty Allah has endowed water
with physical characteristics that make it a basic component of all living creatures. In this context, King
Abdulaziz University (KAU) in fulfilment of its mission in serving the society has given great importance to
water research in its various spheres. More specifically, most KAU colleges have been devoting great attention
to water studies and research in one form or another whether in exploration, assessment, modelling,
management, or development. Moreover, KAU has striven to unify all such efforts by setting up a specialized
university research center, which has been aptly dubbed as the “Water Research Center”. This paper will present
the work of the Water Research Center (WRC), and functionality, and how it provides support and help to the
community and the university.
