Lights out Green Vision Money in (LOMI) Nanyang Technological University (NTU)
Area of Focus • Institutional Level • Target audience: Hall residents in NTU’s 16 undergraduate halls of residence
Development of green project
Consumption of electricity is excessive especially during prime hours and daytime Hence, unless incentives for students to switch off lights are present, they will not be inclined to remember if they were not environmentally conscious This is a waste of energy resources and can definitely be avoided Students do not pay for how much electricity they use for, instead, it is a flat rate per month
Proposed Idea • Compulsory lights out hours for all students in all halls of residences • Lights out means that electricity is cut off for all light supplies in the halls for various period of time in a day
Implementation 1) Minimize disruption : Reading rooms will be opened 24hours 2) Suggested timings: 9-10am, 6-7pm, 11-12pm - will base on feedback to adjust optimal timings 3) Several briefings to be done before implementation
Implementation 4) The other electricity supplies will still be running – this does not cause disruption to other appliances e.g. computer, refrigerator
Implementation 5) computerized system which will automate lights out hours 6) Activities to be done during lights out • Hall activities/games • Canteen discounts
Financial Allocation • Publicity • Posters (Product placement offered to our strategic corporate partners) • Mass-Email • NTU websites • Stickers at switches
Financial Allocation Technical Support Power consumption devices by NTU Electronic and Electrical Engineering Programs produced by NTU School of Computer Engineering Programs to monitor power consumption and automatic switching of power S$500 per project
Financials • Our plan will have 1500SGD grants and a further 2000SGD in grants upon meeting KPI • Further grants will fund other green initiatives • BYOB • Alternative (Healthy) Packaging • Recycling Program
Feasibility • Support • Hall residents • Hall offices • School Administration • Nation wide campaign to save electricity (NEA) • Win-win situation: Students projects used, costs saved on engaging external help
Feasibility • Manpower • The program initiated and managed by the LOMI Subcommitee in Earthlink NTU • This committee shall have mentorship from a professor from NTU
Sustainability • Money Saved = Rebate for following month’s hostel fees • Alternative ways to spend the money saved • Green student activities in halls • Improve hall facilities • Hall privileges
Relevance • Consumption in halls • Increase environmental awareness • Cultivate lifelong habits
KPIs • Student Feedback Online Surveys • Student’s feedback for: • Timing of lights out • Percentage power saved • Additional Privileges • Corporate Partners Feedback
Further Plans • Graduate Halls • Staff residences • Academic School Buildings
