However, on the other hand, energy-producing activities often produce pollution that can pollute the environment. For example, coal-fired power plants or fossil fuels are usually one contributor to excess carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide emissions in the air. Therefore, the world&#8217;s governments have agreed to encourage energy savings and renewable energy sources. In addition to ensuring the continuity of energy sources, these two activities can minimize environmental pollution, such as reducing carbon emotions and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"260\" src=\"http:\/\/sustainability.um.ac.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Picture2.png\" alt=\"Figure 1 A19 Lecture Building\" class=\"wp-image-1803\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sustainability.um.ac.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Picture2.png 460w, https:\/\/sustainability.um.ac.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Picture2-150x85.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Figure 1. A19 Lecture Building<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The State University of Malang, one of the best universities in Indonesia, is always committed to solving environmental problems. One is trying to reduce carbon emissions in the MU environment through energy-saving programs. This program is implemented in various forms. From the building side, UM has built two lecture buildings with the concept of an energy-efficient smart building. The GKB A19 and A20 buildings, which have nine floors, use the concept of natural daylighting, with the sides of the building consisting of 80% of glass to allow maximum light to enter the building. These efforts reduce the intensity of the use of lights in the building. In addition, the buildings at UM have also used LED lights, AC with inverter technology, all-in-one PC, LED TVs, and LCD Projector with ECO settings to save energy use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apart from energy saving, UM is committed to reducing dependence on energy needs from PLN by building several sources of electricity from solar cells and wind power. This step effectively reduces energy use from non-renewable sources from PLN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"535\" height=\"285\" src=\"http:\/\/sustainability.um.ac.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Picture4.png\" alt=\"Figure 2.

Some of them are car-free days on Friday every week, providing emission-free vehicles for UM academics to use in UM&#8217;s environment and monitoring carbon emissions in UM&#8217;s environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Energy has become one of the primary needs of human life.
