Abstract
Carbon emissions are the main contributor to global warming, and it is well known that emissions must be significantly reduced to avoid the worst effects of climate change. The objective of this study is to investigate the carbon emissions from energy use in Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia campus. The main data collection approach for this study is the analysis of technical reports on energy consumption from 2015 to 2021 collected from the Development and Maintenance Center (PPP) and Sustainable Campus Office (SCO). The data collected was analyzed and compared over seven years of data presentation and analysis. The results show that the highest energy consumption has a significant impact on increasing carbon emissions on campus, with the highest emissions in 2015 at 1955.38 tCO2e and the lowest in 2021 at 965.70 tCO2e. On the other hand, based on the collected data, depending on the building, from 2018 to 2020, the highest carbon emission was demonstrated by the Faculty of Technical and Vocational Education (FPTV) with 2,875 tCO2e. As a result, lower energy consumption will lead to less carbon emissions that could create a better environment with less pollution and significantly lower costs.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Integrated Engineering (IJIE) is a single blind peer reviewed journal which publishes 3 times a year since 2009. The journal is dedicated to various issues focusing on 3 different fields which are:- Civil and Environmental Engineering. Original contributions for civil and environmental engineering related practices will be publishing under this category and as the nucleus of the journal contents. The journal publishes a wide range of research and application papers which describe laboratory and numerical investigations or report on full scale projects. Electrical and Electronic Engineering. It stands as a international medium for the publication of original papers concerned with the electrical and electronic engineering. The journal aims to present to the international community important results of work in this field, whether in the form of research, development, application or design. Mechanical, Materials and Manufacturing Engineering. It is a platform for the publication and dissemination of original work which contributes to the understanding of the main disciplines underpinning the mechanical, materials and manufacturing engineering. Original contributions giving insight into engineering practices related to mechanical, materials and manufacturing engineering form the core of the journal contents.
