Abstract

University campuses are grappling with significant challenges related to high energy consumption stemming from the large population and diverse activities on campus. Ministry of higher education statistics reveal that over 1 million individuals, including students and staff, utilize campus facilities, necessitating a reduction in reliance on government funding due to global economic constraints. This creates a dual challenge for universities: curbing energy expenses while expanding student intake, thus balancing financial and environmental considerations. Cooling demands identified as a major driver of energy consumption largely from air conditioning. Addressing to these challenges, sustainable construction, like green building, emphasizes eco-friendly practices, energy conservation, and recycling. Passive techniques such as vertical greening systems (vgs) are gaining attention for reducing energy use, thanks to their thermal efficiency and alignment with sustainability goals. The research outlines three core objectives; (i) to identify determinant factors for the application of vgs and categorizing them into group factor, (ii) to determine the relationship between the identified group factors, and (iii) to develop the structural model for the application of vgs towards energy conservation in university.
