Jakarta, 30 November 2020 – Jakarta State University (UNJ) is increasingly serious in realizing its vision as a healthy and environmentally friendly campus. This is confirmed by the Decree of the Chancellor of Jakarta State University Number 1269/UN39/TM.01.02/2020 concerning Guidelines for Management of a Healthy, Environmentally Friendly Campus at Jakarta State University, which came into effect on 6 November 2020. This regulation replaces the previous decision (Number 1124.B/UN39/TM.01.02/2019) and provides a strong basis for UNJ to implement the principles of Green Campus comprehensively.

One of the crucial points in this guideline is the emphasis on energy efficiency, especially in the context of renovation and construction of new buildings on campus. Referring to Chapter II Part B concerning Management of Healthy, Environmentally Friendly Campus Buildings, UNJ refers to the Green Building benchmarks which include "Energy Efficiency and Conservation." This point specifically includes "Energy management policies and plans," "Use of renewable energy," "Energy use efficiency levels," to "Implementation of energy systems" [1, page 19].

Furthermore, Chapter II A.8 also emphasizes that energy management and climate change are carried out by efficiently using paper and plastic, using energy-saving equipment, developing renewable energy, and maximizing ventilation for air and light exchange [1, page 16].

This UNJ policy is in line with various government regulations which form the legal basis for these guidelines, including:

Law Number 28 of 2002 concerning Buildings: Regulates standards and requirements for safe, healthy and sustainable buildings [1, page 1]. Law Number 30 of 2007 concerning Energy: Becomes the basis for national energy policy, including energy efficiency and conservation [1, page 2]. Government Regulation Number 26 of 2008 concerning National Regional Spatial Planning: Although more general, this regulation provides a spatial planning framework that supports sustainable development [1, page 2]. Presidential Regulation Number 54 of 2008 concerning Spatial Planning for the Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi, Puncak, Cianjur (Jabodetabekpunjur) Areas:

Provides a reference for spatial planning in the area where the UNJ campus is located [1, page 2].

With these guidelines, every renovation and new construction activity at UNJ is required to integrate energy efficiency standards. This means that the selection of building materials, architectural designs that utilize natural lighting and air circulation, the use of energy-saving electronic devices, and the development of renewable energy sources will be top priorities. The aim is not only to reduce the campus' carbon footprint, but also to create a more comfortable, cool and sustainable learning environment for the entire academic community.

UNJ Chancellor, Prof. Dr. Komarudin, M.Si., in making this decision, emphasized that UNJ has the capacity and responsibility to develop science, technology, arts and sports, which requires the support of a healthy and environmentally friendly campus environment [1, page 1]. Thus, the implementation of energy efficiency standards in development is a concrete manifestation of UNJ's commitment to supporting the tridharma of higher education as well as contributing to global efforts to overcome climate change.

It is hoped that this guideline can serve as a guide for all related parties at UNJ, from leaders, lecturers, education staff, to students, to work together to create an innovative and responsible Healthy, Environmentally Friendly Campus.
