In early 2022, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) developed an advanced Energy and Climate Change Monitoring System that was fully implemented by the end of 2022. This system utilises Information and Communication Technology (ICT) where it tracks energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in real-time across departments, particularly within the Faculty of Engineering.
The system offers detailed insights into energy usage patterns, identifying peaks and trends contributing to higher emissions or inefficiencies. The data gathered enables UGM to evaluate departmental performance in terms of energy efficiency, helping guide future strategies for reducing energy consumption and emissions. The system’s ability to monitor at the building or departmental level enhances decision-making related to climate initiatives.
Key benefits of this monitoring system include:
- Accurate tracking of energy consumption, enabling a clear understanding of energy use across campus.
- Improved decision-making for energy reduction programs by highlighting inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement.
- Early detection of high-consumption periods allows UGM to implement preventive measures.
- Optimal resource allocation for energy management and sustainability initiatives.

In 2022, a total of 11 new Learning Center buildings at Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) successfully received green certification from an official certification body. However, to ensure that this achievement is maintained, UGM formed a dedicated team responsible for monitoring and managing the sustainability of building management on campus. Starting in 2023, efforts to uphold green building sustainability have been carried out through monthly monitoring. Additionally, every six months, each faculty and school is required to deliver presentations to report the current condition of their buildings, both new building and existing buildings, to ensure that smart building standards and green building practices are consistently maintained.
