In 2024, the University of Dhaka (DU) advanced its energy efficiency and sustainability initiatives across the campus. New construction and renovation projects were guided by high energy-efficiency standards, incorporating LED lighting, efficient HVAC systems, natural ventilation and daylighting, and rooftop solar panels where feasible. Preparations under the “Further Development of Dhaka University” masterplan began to modernize existing buildings, aiming to reduce long-term energy consumption and create a more sustainable campus. The Institute of Leather Engineering and Technology (ILET) led research on carbon reduction and circular economy technologies in the leather industry. Sustainable mobility measures, including electric shuttle buses and bicycle parking facilities, were expanded, while plans for community workshops and educational events promoted energy-conscious behavior. DU also continued its commitment to transition to 100% renewable energy, with initial steps taken in 2024 toward becoming a fully solar-powered campus. Collectively, these efforts demonstrate DU’s structured, forward-looking approach to energy management, carbon reduction, and renewable energy adoption, positioning the university as a national leader in sustainable campus development.
