The "Living Lab" Mechanism

KMUTT Living Lab
Infrastructure

"Transforming our campus into an experimental ground for sustainability."

Hardware

Physical retrofitting, Smart Meters, Solar PV infrastructure, and IoT Sensors.

Software

Building Automation Systems (BAS), AI Analytics for anomaly detection, and MOD LINK App.

Peopleware

"Green Heart" student network, behavioral change campaigns, and curriculum integration.

Resource Domain I

Energy
Minimization

Accounting for 94% of our carbon footprint, energy is our primary battleground. We utilize a mix of nature-based cooling and high-tech efficiency.

Target 2024

40% Reduction

Surpassed (40.5%)

Green Campus

The "So Cool" Project

Reducing ambient campus temperature by 1-2°C through vegetation and water features. Lower outside temperature means significantly less work for air conditioners.

Hardware Retrofitting

Replaced 53,000+ lamps with LED T8. Upgraded central chillers to Inverter Compressors saving 22.8 million Baht annually.

Renewable Transition

Target 2.6 MWp capacity using Rooftop Solar and Floating Solar panels on retention ponds (Energy-Water Nexus).

Resource Domain II

Water
Circular Economy

Moving beyond conservation to a "Closed Loop" system. We treat wastewater as a resource, not a pollutant.

Recycling Rate

~80%

of total usage is recycled

Closed-Loop System

Wastewater is treated and pumped back for gardening, toilet flushing, and floor cleaning. Diverts 60,000 m³ from municipal supply annually.

Smart Demand Control

Installation of 442 sensor-flush valves and 163 smart taps to eliminate wastage at the source.

Water Retention

Rainwater Harvesting

Using retention ponds as "Monkey Cheeks" for flood mitigation and irrigation.

Resource Domain III

Paperless & Zero Waste

Accelerating Digital Transformation to dematerialize campus operations.

MOD LINK Ecosystem

Replaces physical ID cards, transcripts, and payment slips with a comprehensive mobile app.

Digital ID

Blockchain Credentials

Issuing verifiable digital degrees. Eliminates the need for certified hard copies and reduces administrative paper trails permanently.

Secure

Waste-to-Energy

Organic canteen waste is converted into Biogas for cooking. Non-recyclable waste becomes Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF).

Circular
Progress Update 50.14% Paper Reduction Achieved (Baseline 2016)
