The existence of transportation is a vital need for the community. The importance of transport cannot be separated from the mobility needs that the community must carry out. The increasing number of motorized vehicles sees this transportation need to this day. This increase in the number of vehicles must be accompanied by providing road infrastructure that supports safe driving. One of the enabling factors in driving safety is the provision of facilities or infrastructure for safe driving behaviour, such as traffic signs and street lighting. The provision of street lighting will make it easier for motorists to drive, especially in hilly areas and areas with poor lighting. Better provision of supporting facilities for driving safety will minimize the risk of accidents on the highway.... Read More ...

Dr. phil. Ir. Didik Hariyanto, M.T., a lecturer in the Department of Electrical Engineering Education, Faculty of Engineering UNY, played an active role in the eGrid (electronic Grid) workshop held at the University of Auckland, New Zealand.
The eGrid Workshop is a forum for academics and practitioners in the electricity sector and related fields to exchange ideas, the latest information, and related experiences in their efforts to develop electricity from renewable energy sources. This workshop lasted for 4 days. "Activities in the eGrid workshop are in the form of presentations from academics and practitioners in the electricity sector in the form of keynotes, calls for papers, and posters," said Didik, Monday (9/1). Participants who participated in this activity came from... Read More ...
Persediaan sumber energi fosil makin menipis. Hal ini tentunya akan sangat berpengaruh terhadap hampir semua aspek kehidupan seperti transportasi, industri, penerangan ,dan sebagainya sangat bergantung terhadap sumber energi fosil. Maka dari itu inovasi-inovasi teknologi dibidang sumber energi terbarukan sangat diperlukan pada saat ini, salah satunya adalah sumber energi biogas yang cukup berpotensi menjadi sumber energi alternatif. Pemanfaatan sumber energi biogas telah mulai dikembangkan di Pusat Pelatihan Pertanian dan Pedesaan Swadaya Pandan Mulyo di Dusun Ngentak Poncosari Srandakan Bantul namun kapasitas produksi dari sistem yang ada masih kurang maksimal. Hal ini dikarenakan peralatan yang ada masih bersifat manual dan sederhana, sehingga diperlukan tenaga ekstra menyesuaikan... Read More ...
Sebagai pengguna energi fosil dalam jumlah banyak, Indonesia memiliki banyak limbah minyak bekas diantaranya limbah oli bekas kendaraan, sludge oil, dan sebagainya. Limbah minyak berat mengandung minyak, zat padat, air, dan logam berat. Limbah minyak ini merupakan bahan pencemar yang dapat menimbulkan dampak negatif bagi lingkungan, oleh sebab itu harus segera ditanggulangi. Limbah ini berpotensi untuk diubah menjadi energi panas menggunakan burner, namun alat burner ini diimpor dari Jerman dengan harga cukup mahal. Prihatin dengan hal ini, sekelompok mahasiswa UNY menggagas pembuatan burner dengan harga yang lebih ekonomis.

UNY has implemented 3 (three) efforts to address the challenges of climate change and energy. First, building design applications that support natural lighting and good air circulation. The design of this building is the use of glass materials for buildings, and the design of corridors that are equipped with adequate natural ventilation. Second, a system application that saves energy use through the installation of several light sensors, fire sensors and the use of projectors that use lower power in various buildings on UNY. Third, gradual renewal of old equipment and equipment for both learning activities and institutional management. The semi-automatic door system that has been applied in several buildings a few years ago has yet to be replaced with a fully automatic door. This is... Read More ...
UNY has used LED lights for lighting in classrooms, meeting rooms, and other rooms. Replacement from conventional lights to LED lights is done in stages for old buildings. For the new building that was completed in 2018, one of them was the PPS UNY Lecture Building, is directly installed with LED lights. In addition to the use of LED lights, the UNY LPPM building has also applied a sensor that will turn off the lights if there are no people in the room.
The use of the latest type of projectors both in classrooms and meetings has helped save electricity usage. in addition, the use of projectors has also helped reduce the need for paper printing and usage of conventional printed banners.

There are 3 forms of applied building elements namely natural lighting, natural air ventilation and plant placement on each floor of a multi-storey building. Regarding natural lighting, the building on UNY adopted the use of glass on the wall so that even without electric lights, the room would remain bright enough. In addition to the use of glass, some buildings adopt open corridors on the outside of the building that serve as road access and at the same time provide access for natural lighting. Open corridors on the outer side of the building also support the creation of natural ventilation. Specifically in the UNY Rectorate building, the outer side of the hallway is also equipped with a section to plant plants equipped with a piping system. These... Read More ...
