The University campus with at least 44,000 students. is determined to make continued classrooms and in the offices. improvements in sustainable development.

In 2010 FEU’s energy consumption was 8.4 million kWh for 23,000 students or 348 kWh/student. The transition to a centralized district cooling system by 2019 resulted in an energy reduction by 30% to just 5.9 million kWh for 21,000 students or 281 kWh/student.

The reduction of over 2.5 million kWh translates to a savings of 1.8 million kilograms of carbon dioxide emission over the last seven (7) years. This computation is referenced to a modern coal power plant that produces 0.70 kg carbon dioxide per kWh.

This savings has proven that a central plant system is more efficient and reduces the negative impact on our environment.

Moving forward, FEU aims to continue to promote similar sustainable programs to further reduce the University’s carbon footprints.

The optimum teaching and learning environment has always been prioritized. FEU Manila was one of the first universities that installed electric fans in all classrooms. In 2000, window and split-type air conditioning systems were installed for both comfort and sound suppression. By 2012, the campus started the transition to a chiller system. This system uses cold water to absorb heat from the rooms. This heat is then removed by the chiller system. The Architecture and Fine Arts building was the first building to use a chiller machine.
