IIMV: Sustainability through Energy Innovations

內容大綱
<div style="font-size: 0.95em; line-height: 1.4;"><p align="justify">In September 2024, the board of governors of the Indian Institute of Management, Visakhapatnam was holding a meeting to review, discuss, and deliberate on various experiences and learnings from phase 1 of the project to build a new permanent campus in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India. The first phase of the project had successfully achieved various objectives in terms of energy innovation, water and wastewater management, solar energy efficiency, rainwater harvesting, and other sustainability measures. It had made great strides toward achieving net zero carbon levels for the fight and adaptation against the challenges of climate change. The head of projects, was tasked with highlighting the importance of sustainability and innovation in energy efficiencies in the upcoming board meeting. He planned to demonstrate how the institute could benefit from and apply the five-star rating received by the Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment to future phases of the project. He also wanted to emphasize how the institute could expand the scope of its sustainability strategies into future projects, considering the impact of potential changes in regulations, technology, finances, and other challenges.
學習目標
<div style="font-size: 0.95em; line-height: 1.4;"><p align="justify">The case is designed for use in undergraduate, graduate, post-graduate, and executive education classes on project management, sustainability, inclusivity, energy innovation, and technology advancements within educational institutions. The case can be used to help students understand how sustainability can be attained through energy innovation in government funded infrastructure and construction projects, especially in India’s educational sector. Amid increasing sustainable living and continuous climate change challenges across the world, India has also taken steps to meet the need for clean and renewable energy. India’s context is specific to emerging economies (e.g., low and middle income countries), but the key learnings from this case can be extended to the challenges that all countries face, including high income and developed economies.<br><br>Students will learn about the specific energy efficient technologies and innovations that were incorporated in the master plan of an educational institution, to ensure sustainability through net zero energy, water, and carbon footprint. After working through the case and assignment questions, students will be able to achieve the following objectives:<br><br><ul><li>Identify inclusive solutions through energy innovations in various infrastructure projects.</li><li>Discuss how to incorporate energy efficient processes in the infrastructure projects, especially in educational sector.</li><li>Explain the advantages of energy innovations in infrastructure projects in educational sector.</li><li>Identify how energy innovations play an important role in managing costs reductions in educational institutions over the long term.</li><li>Understand how emerging economies such as India are able to meet the challenges of climate changes through raising awareness and by popularizing “green” designs for infrastructure projects.</li><li>Explain how educational institutions can operate like commercial business operations, while retaining social status and commitment.</li><li>Understand the importance of the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG); in particular, goal 6 Clean water and sanitation, goal 7 Affordable and clean energy, and goal 12 Responsible consumption and production.</li></ul>
