Abstract

Building occupants' awareness is very essential to promote energy efficiency in the green building concept. However, research related to awareness of the campus building occupants has not been widely explored, especially in Indonesia. This research investigates the criteria of the occupant's awareness regarding energy efficiency awareness as well as their performance in Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) Campus. A questionnaire survey was conducted across three-campus building occupants, namely lecturer, staff and students. 181 data were acquired and analyzed the variables' performance. It was found 15 that awareness variables where their performance were categorised as ‘good’ form the overall occupants. Nevertheless, the students' awareness still can be categorised as ‘moderate’ category and needs be improved to achieve energy efficiency. To be focussed, the improvement should be conducted to three critical variables, namely Recognize the issue of electricity resource depletion, Resource sharing to reduce the use of electrical energy consumption, and Understand to make efforts and prepare for electricity resource depletion. This research shed the light to manage occupants' awareness of energy efficiency in the campus building context.
