As global efforts to combat climate change intensify, educational institutions are increasingly adopting green and low-carbon practices in campus planning, construction, and operations. Governments worldwide are encouraging universities to implement energy-saving technologies to optimize resource allocation and enhance service efficiency.
In 2019, China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) issued the Green Lifestyle Creation Action Plan, emphasizing the need for universities to develop energy-efficient, eco-friendly campuses and promote sustainable living concepts. By 2022, the initiative aimed for significant progress, with over 60% of schools meeting green standards—rising to 70% in regions with advanced capabilities.
Shangufeng Technologies, a leader in energy-saving innovations, has developed an advanced air conditioning optimization system that significantly reduces power consumption while maintaining performance. In August 2023, a pilot project was conducted at a prominent vocational college in Guangzhou, China—a multidisciplinary institution with over 32,000 students across two campuses.
- 29.6% energy savings for 3HP air conditioning units
- 25.9% energy savings for 5HP air conditioning units
These impressive results demonstrate the potential of Shangufeng’s technology in reducing campus energy consumption and carbon emissions.
With air conditioning accounting for over 40% of building energy use, optimizing HVAC systems is a highly effective way to cut emissions. Shangufeng’s retrofit solution offers:
✔ Lower carbon footprint through reduced electricity demand
✔ Extended equipment lifespan by stabilizing external unit temperatures
✔ Smart energy management without compromising comfort
This aligns with international sustainability frameworks, including:
- China’s 2022 Green and Low-Carbon Development National Education System Implementation Plan, which prioritizes energy-efficient retrofits and renewable integration in schools.
- Global ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals for educational institutions.
Shangufeng’s technology provides a scalable, cost-effective solution for universities worldwide seeking to:
- Meet regulatory requirements for energy efficiency
- Reduce operational costs while enhancing sustainability
- Demonstrate leadership in green campus initiatives
Join the movement toward smarter, greener campuses.
