This study aimed to investigate the strategies employed for energy management and efficiency on a university campus, particularly focusing on UiTM Seri Iskandar, Perak. The increasing energy consumption in Malaysian universities has raised national concerns. The objectives were to identify such practices, assess their effectiveness in reducing energy consumption, and provide recommendations for enhancing energy efficiency at the university. The research entailed a mixed-method approach involving questionnaire surveys and on-site observations conducted within the campus. The data analysis revealed that the implemented general energy-saving practices successfully contributed to lowering energy consumption. By implementing the study's recommendations, significant energy and cost savings can be achieved. The findings from this study provide valuable insights for UiTM Seri Iskandar and other educational institutions aiming to enhance energy efficiency and promote environmental sustainability. By embracing these recommendations, universities can make significant strides in energy conservation efforts, ultimately contributing to a greener and more sustainable future.
