Abstract

Landscape and infrastructure are two main basic aspects which play a significant role for any universities in achieving environmental, social-behavioural, or aesthetic outcomes. This paper describes the setting and infrastructure management at the Universitas Indonesia (UI) as a continuous effort towards green and sustainable campus. Some developments and improvements have been made during the last three years, such as forest city maintenance, development of pedestrian boulevard, and installation of road marks and traffics signs. In addition, infrastructures have been improved by replacing conventional lamps with LED type ones, development of real-time energy consumption monitoring system, green chilling system, solar photo-voltaic development, solar cooling absorption chiller system, air conditioning with VRF/VRV system, and preparation for green certified building. These improvements on campus setting and landscape are reflected on the UI GreenMetric 2017 results which ranked at #23 worldwide with the score of 957 out of 1500 total score for "setting and infrastructure" category. With regards to these achievements, some challenges and strong commitment in sustainability policy need to be implemented in the forthcoming years to maintain the UI's vision to be a "world class sustainable university".
