Executive Summary
This report responds to a call for proposals by
identifying the importance of University Students being aware of energy
conservation. It then describes a means of raising the awareness of SIT students
on energy conservation. Ideally, students should possess basic knowledge on
energy conservation and practice energy saving techniques which will in term
benefit both the campus and public in reducing energy usage. However, students lack
the knowledge and awareness on energy conservation as they prioritize
convenience and comfort at the expense of energy conservation.
This report aims to propose to the SIT Estate Division to implement an Eco Tree (self-sustained by solar panels) with an Eco Gallery (containing information on energy conservation) constructed below the Eco Tree to raise the awareness of students on energy conservation. Benefits of implementing the proposed solution are discussed, along with potential issues and other considerations faced in the implementation. An alternative solution is also presented for consideration, along with its respective limitations.
The report also explains how several methods of research were employed to obtain information on the existing situation. Primary research includes conducting an online survey regarding awareness on energy conservation with students, receiving a consultation from an electrical and electronics engineering professor in SIT@Dover and an interview with Professor Jawn Lim from the SIT campus development requirement team division. Secondary research includes obtaining statistics from websites.
