Water Conscious Building Standards

There are four(4) features mainly used in design and apply building standards to minimize water use

 1. Rain Gutter System 

All university buildings are equipped with rain gutters. Rainwater from the rooftop will flow into the rain gutter and enter the drain and finally reach the lake. Water from lake will be pumped for the watering purposes. 

2. Rainwater Harvesting System

Most of the building at UMP equipped with Rainwater Harvesting System for general purposes

3. Recycle Water Irrigation

Pump is installed at Lake to supply water for the watering system at the nearest tree planting area and landscaping projects. 

4. Eco Friendly Building Material

The eco-friendly container building is made from recycled material and is environment-friendly. It is the latest project undertaken that involved building basic module made of used container that has been modified and upgraded. The modular craft pilot project is about the construction of 72 rooms for lecturers in the Gambang Campus.  The construction uses a type of thermal insulation coating that can reduce the temperature inside the container. The coating can lower the temperature inside the container by 8 oC to 10 oC. The project also uses eco-friendly green bricks that are produced by UMP Innovest Sdn Bhd.
