KMUTNB is committed to promoting energy efficiency, clean energy adoption, and sustainable investment practices across the whole university operations. This policy establishes the university’s approach to energy management, investment, and engagement with public policy to support the transition to a low-carbon economy.

KMUTNB targets that all new construction and major renovations comply with established energy efficiency standards. This includes the adoption of high-efficiency lighting, building envelope improvements, alternative sources of electricity and smart energy management systems. Annual audits will be conducted to ensure compliance and identify opportunities for continuous improvement. Energy performance metrics will be incorporated into project planning and reporting processes. The audit results will be reported to University Management Board for further planning and improvement.

KMUTNB will prioritize sourcing energy from low-carbon and renewable sources for all university operations. This includes procuring electricity from renewable energy providers, developing on-campus solar projects, and adopting technologies that enhance energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The university encourages research and pilot projects that advance renewable energy adoption and energy-efficient solutions, creating opportunities for faculty, researchers, and students to contribute to a low-carbon campus. KMUTNB has set the target to move toward to 100% renewable energy sourcing in 2050. To ensure accountability, KMUTNB will conduct regular monitoring and reporting of both energy sourcing and divestment activities. Annual reports will document the university’s progress in phasing out investments in carbon-intensive industries and increasing reliance on clean energy, making the results publicly available as part of KMUTNB’s sustainability transparency.

KMUTNB will actively support and inform government initiatives in the development of clean energy and energy-efficient technology policies. Through research collaborations, technical expertise, and knowledge dissemination, the university will contribute to evidence-based policy-making and promote innovations that enhance national and regional energy sustainability. Faculty, researchers, and staff are encouraged to participate in workshops, advisory committees, and public consultations to advance these objectives.
