UID bali CAMPUS features an outstanding 111 ECO FACTS

Nestled at the heart of Kura Kura Bali, UID Bali Campus represents one of the key major elements of the development and its long term strategic masterplan. It aims to provide an outstanding social and physical environment in which learning, research, and innovation will flourish.

Spread across 5 Ha and with a sensitive consideration to culture, nature, and sustainability, the campus will offer a balanced mix of green open spaces and parks, residential accommodations, academic spaces, facilities, and social amenities.

The architectural concept was developed around a passive design sustainable approach, as a semi-open building with natural ventilation and orientation of the functional spaces according to the sun orientation and the fantastic views the island has to offer.

Overall, a mix of new and traditional materials is improving sustainability across a building’s lifecycle and reducing “embodied carbon,” which accounts for a quarter of the climate impact of buildings. The team chose a steel structure as opposed to a typical concrete one that contributes to a lower carbon footprint and also allowed the project to be completed in record time.

The same attention to materials selection has continued throughout the building, from the locally sourced bricks for the exterior walls to the recycled wood flooring for the mezzanine level and the sirap roof.

Complimenting the above features, we have installed a rainwater collection tank that captures all the roof area and uses it for the open-air ponds and irrigation while also creating a relaxed and comfortable temperature on the ground floor of the building.

Energy usage, efficiency and renewables

Photovoltaic panels are used to harness the solar radiation and use the generated power directly, without the high cost of a battery storage system to run LED lighting and fans in public areas.

Smart VRV air-conditioning system reduces the power consumption while focusing on cooling only the indoor spaces. The residual energy from this system is transformed through a heat recovery system that produces hot water for the showers and toilets throughout the building.

Resource management and sustainable materials were used in the building as the structure was built for full circularity with responsibly sourced materials.

To support the island’s green mobility strategies, the building provides multiple bicycle parking and motorbike and has a built provision for future electrical charges.
