Sustainable Cities and Communities

Kamphaeng Phet Rajabhat University (KPRU) incorporates green building assessment principles into the design, construction and management of new buildings, considering environmental impacts, resource efficiency and occupants’ well-being.

 One example is the Co-working Space building at the Office of Academic Resources and Information Technology. Its positioning and orientation respond to the surrounding environment and prevailing winds. Openings facilitate natural ventilation and provide sufficient daylight, supporting indoor air quality and a comfortable environment for learning and collaborative work. The building incorporates a rooftop solar power system and energy-efficient equipment to reduce reliance on grid electricity and lower long-term operating costs. Green spaces surrounding the building provide shade, help reduce heat and create a pleasant setting for relaxation and everyday use. Construction and acceptance inspections follow project specifications and construction standards, integrating environmental considerations into the university’s development of new buildings.
