UTeM continues to strengthen its energy management practices through electricity consumption monitoring, the implementation of energy efficiency initiatives, and the adoption of renewable energy technologies. These efforts involve the participation of the campus community to optimise energy use, reduce electricity wastage and carbon emissions, and support the development of a more energy-efficient and sustainable campus.

    The Centre for Smart Environment (CENSEi) successfully organised Webinar Series 1: Introduction to Electric Vehicles, which was conducted online via Microsoft Teams on 28 January 2026. The two-hour programme, held from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., aimed to provide participants with basic knowledge and enhance their understanding of the electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem.

Through this webinar, participants were introduced to key topics related to EVs, including fundamental concepts, the latest technological developments, environmental benefits, and challenges facing the mobility industry. The session also emphasised the critical role of EV technology in driving the future of sustainable transportation, in line with CENSEi’s aspirations to promote smart environmental awareness and green practices.

    The Virtual Energy Manager (VEM) Platform Training Sessions aim to enhance participants’ knowledge and skills in using the VEM platform for energy monitoring and management. The training supports the adoption of smart technologies to facilitate systematic energy consumption monitoring, improve energy efficiency, and strengthen sustainable energy management initiatives at UTeM.

      The visit by Enproserve (M) Sdn. Bhd. to UTeM aimed to strengthen knowledge and skills in using the Virtual Energy Manager (VEM) platform for energy monitoring and management. The session supported the adoption of smart technologies for systematic energy consumption monitoring, improved energy efficiency, and strengthened sustainable energy management initiatives at UTeM.

      The AEON X UTeM Programme aims to connect universities, industries, and communities through Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The programme serves as a platform to introduce technological innovations, share knowledge, and raise public awareness of the importance of technology in everyday life. This initiative also provides an opportunity to showcase UTeM’s efforts in supporting technological development and community sustainability.

Smart Data UTeM

CENSEi's Division

Virtual Energy Manager (VEM) is a smart software-based system powered by the Internet of Things (IoT), functioning as an “automated energy manager” to monitor, analyse, and optimise electricity consumption in a building or campus in real time.

The UTeM Main Display was developed as a strategic initiative to strengthen the university’s implementation of the AEMAS Sustainable Energy Management System (SEMS) and support the aspirations of the UTeM Smart Sustainable Blueprint 2025. This platform was designed to meet the needs of data-driven energy management and enhance the transparency of sustainability information across the campus.

The installation of photovoltaic (PV) solar panels at UTeM is one of the university’s leading energy efficiency and renewable energy projects, implemented under the UTeM Smart Sustainable Blueprint 2025. This initiative aims to reduce dependence on the main electricity grid, lower utility operating costs, and support the university’s goals of achieving a Low Carbon Campus by 2030 and Carbon Neutrality by 2050.

Energy Management UTeM

CENSEi Division

Efforts to optimise energy consumption to reduce waste, lower electricity costs, and minimise carbon emissions without compromising comfort or daily operations.

AEMAS (ASEAN Energy Management Scheme) is a regional scheme aimed at improving energy efficiency through the implementation of systematic and continuous energy management systems. The scheme emphasises reducing energy consumption, lowering operating costs, raising awareness of energy efficiency, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

As a manifestation of UTeM’s commitment to global environmental sustainability, Green Mobility serves as a strategic CENSEi initiative to promote a culture of sustainable transportation. Through the advancement of electric vehicle (EV) technology and micromobility, this initiative is committed to reducing carbon footprints and air pollution to create a holistically sustainable campus environment.
