The meeting decided that all departments and offices must maximize the use of natural light during daytime and refrain from using electric lights, fans, or air conditioners unnecessarily. Strict instructions were given to switch off all electrical equipment when leaving offices or rooms, and to avoid lighting corridors and staircases. Use of air conditioners has been discouraged, except in laboratories with advanced equipment, where air condition can operate on a limited basis but must be set at 25°C or above. The university will raise awareness among students, faculty, and staff through stand banners and leaflets across campus.
