Hence, he said, green technologies had been incorporated into the buildings to preserve energy and the environment.
“We are now using 50% less energy than any normal building as our buildings have double glazing glass to conserve energy.
“Our buildings are also fitted with Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to reduce energy consumption. With motion sensors, lights would automatically switch on and off when a person walks under it,” he said.
The university is also harvesting rain water and storing them in the pond in front of the university. The water collected will be recycled for air conditioning and flushing of toilets while the water from the toilets will again be recycled for gardening use.
UCTS is built on a 44.08ha of land. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak officiated the ground breaking ceremony on Sept 16, 2012.
Currently, UCTS has a total of 685 students and will be able to accommodate up to 5,000 students when the campus is fully completed in the next two to three years.
