By 2025, King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi has achieved a major milestone in sustainable infrastructure by completing the full replacement of conventional water fixtures including taps, showerheads, and bidets with eco-sensor water-saving appliances across all campuses. This initiative represents a cornerstone of KMUTT’s efforts to reduce water consumption and promote responsible resource management.
In accordance with KMUTT’s Green Procurement Policy, all new water appliances procured for construction or renovation projects are required to carry a Green Label or Green Certificate, ensuring that only environmentally certified and energy-efficient products are installed.
The adoption of these eco-sensor systems equipped with automatic shut-off and optimized flow-control features has significantly improved water efficiency, resulting in an annual reduction of over 50,000 cubic meters of piped water. This achievement not only reduces operational costs but also strengthens hygiene and convenience in public facilities.
Key Outcomes
- Target: 100% implementation of water-efficient appliances across KMUTT campuses.
- Status (2025): Target achieved — all water fixtures now operate with certified eco-sensor water-saving systems.
- Impact: More than 50,000 m³ of water saved annually, contributing directly to KMUTT’s long-term goals for resource efficiency and carbon neutrality.
Through this successful implementation, KMUTT demonstrates how technological innovation and environmental responsibility can work hand in hand to achieve measurable sustainability outcomes. The project serves as a model for higher education institutions across Thailand, showcasing how infrastructure transformation can drive substantial environmental progress.
