In alignment with Republic Act No. 11285 or the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act, MSEUF integrated energy auditing and performance monitoring into its institutional strategy for sustainable campus management in 2024. To strengthen this initiative, the University appointed Engr. Mark Nel Inojosa as the Certified Energy Manager in preparation for the planned external energy audit, ensuring that internal reviews and performance assessments meet national standards. This development reinforced MSEUF’s commitment to advancing energy efficiency and contributing to clean energy policy development at the local and regional levels.
Furthermore, the University enhanced its participation in global cooperation on energy-efficient technology policy development through continued involvement in international sustainability assessments, such as the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings and the Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings. These engagements enabled MSEUF to align its sustainability framework with global best practices, further developing its roadmap and policy vision for clean and energy-efficient technologies. This accomplishment demonstrates MSEUF’s proactive role in promoting innovation, compliance, and leadership in sustainable campus operations.
Internal Energy Audits and Wastage Identification:
Furthermore, the University conducts internal energy reviews through its Certified Energy Manager to identify areas with the highest energy wastage for the year 2024. The findings and recommendations are submitted to University Management to guide operational improvements, energy conservation programs, and efficiency measures. These ongoing reviews serve as the foundation for MSEUF’s forthcoming external energy audit, ensuring data-driven benchmarking and continuous enhancement of its energy performance. The summary of the results was published as follows:
Carbon Reduction and Emission Reduction
In support of clean and renewable energy adoption, the Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation (MSEUF) successfully completed the installation of a 99.37 kWp grid-tied solar power system at the Commerce, Engineering, and Technology (CET) Building. This project marks a major milestone in the University’s transition toward renewable energy and reduced carbon dependency. The system is managed through Huawei’s FusionSolar Energy Management Application, which enables real-time monitoring, performance analysis, and optimization of solar energy generation.

Reduction in Energy Consumption
To further minimize power use, MSEUF continued its lighting retrofit program and replacement of conventional equipment with energy-efficient models. The latest energy audit data show that:
In 2024, the University has 7,691 appliances, of which 6,635 (86.27%) are energy-efficient. This impressive figure underscores MSEUF's ongoing dedication to sustainability through the adoption of environmentally friendly technologies.
Additionally, the University acquired three (3) electric vehicles (E-Vehicles) as part of its sustainable transport program.
Divestment Policy and Sustainability Research
The University sustained its ethical investment strategy and continued to support sustainability-focused research through the Research Publication, Incubation, and Utilization Center. Various published and presented works in 2024 underscored MSEUF’s ongoing commitment to environmental management and green innovation.
The 2024 review of the MSEUF Sustainability Policy reflects the University’s consistent progress in advancing its clean energy and sustainability objectives. Through initiatives such as the installation of the 99.37 kWp solar power system, the expansion of energy-efficient lighting, the introduction of electric vehicles, and the strengthening of smart building and energy management capabilities, MSEUF has demonstrated measurable commitment to energy conservation and responsible environmental stewardship.
These accomplishments reaffirm the University’s proactive role in integrating sustainability into every aspect of its operations—serving as a model institution that upholds the principles of efficiency, innovation, and environmental responsibility in higher education.
