The Challenge
The Office of Academic Resorces, or the CU Central Library, was the first building to be renovated under this project when a “Humidity Control” system was installed. The goals of this renovation are to:
1. Reduce energy consumption by improving building structures.
2. Serve as a role model for energy saving.
3. Raise awareness of students, faculty, staff and the general public regarding the benefits of efficient use of energy.
Reducing energy consumption is great. It lowers costs. Chula can be a good example for individuals and organizations.
Nanthaphat KoetphromI like that the library can be open everyday. The system that helps conserve of energy is so important as it means we can study when we want.

The implementation process has been divided into 6 compenents, including:
Component 1: Water Cooler Pump
– Move old water cooler pump to be part of the secondary system
– Install Inverted, 11kW water cooler pump in the primary system
– Install VSD equipment
Component 2: Indoor Air Quality Control System via Outdoor Air
– Install AHU Fresh Air system on 7th Floor
– Install air ventilation to utilize outdoor air in the building
– Install CO2 system as part of air management
Component 3: Building Automation Control System
– Install system to monitor air conditioning
– Introduce staff training and supervision to maximize air conditioning control system efficiency
Component 4: Interior Lighting Control
– Install T5 bulbs for sustainable, high performance
– Separate control circuits into zones and install sensors to detect user action
Cmponent 5: Thermal Insulator
– Improve OTTV by installing energy-efficient glass on 1st and 7th floors
– Improve RTTV by installing 1-inch PU Foam covered with 1-inch concrete and installing PVC roof conduits on 6th and 7th floors
Component 6: Energy-efficient Water Taps
– Install energy-efficient water taps to conserve water and electricity
– Install automatic faucets, leaving only one old-model faucet per restroom
I like it when we can reduce energy consumption. The uni can spend what is saved for some other important services for students.
Watcharrawit ChaipayuI Love it. I am happy that the college thinks about saving energy and worrks hard at it.

Next Step
CU intends to improve the energy-saving quality and performance of all university buildings by maintaining equipment and technologies up-to-date. Renovations under the same concept will \ be implemented to other buildings during appropriate fiscal years.
Honestly, this is so important, reducing energy costs so money can be spent e
Prechaya ThanteeraphapWe should not waste energy. We need to be careful and use it wisely.
