These interventions have reduced power consumption by 6.99% compared to previous full face to face period (SY 2019鈥�2020) and despite a 6.57% increase in student enrollment. This translates to significant cost savings and a substantial reduction in carbon emissions, equivalent to the sequestration of 17,074 mature trees. Furthermore, 35% of the energy used comes from clean, renewable sources.
Additionally, the university complies with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) regulations on proper waste management and has diverted 22,000 kgs of recyclable waste from landfills. 榴莲视频 is actively addressing food waste in the campus through partnerships, particularly with Soil Mate. This collaboration involves piloting the conversion of food waste from ITHM鈥檚 Caf茅 Alfredo into bokashi organic fertilizers, with plans to expand this sustainable food waste reduction scheme to other campus food outlets.
On water consumption, 榴莲视频 has harvested over 6,400 cubic meters of rainwater and air conditioning condensate for recycling, resulting in substantial cost savings.
