摘要：Industrial Revolution 4.0 or IR 4.0 is getting the attention of Higher Learning Institutions
throughout the world. In the case of Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), “transformation towards
University/Industry 4.0” has been identified as one of the nine key result areas (KRAs) in the Strategic
Plan 2018-2020. The transformation framework focusses on three areas namely Teaching and Learning
4.0, Smart Eco-UMS 4.0 and Research 4.0. Various initiatives have been planned for each area, some of
which are currently being implemented. Previously, under the Strategic Plan 2013-2017, UMS gave great
attention on developing and promoting UMS as an eco-campus in line with UMS aspiration to be the
reference of eco-campus or green campus in the region. This will be further enhanced under Smart EcoUMS
4.0 in line with the United Nation sustainable development goals. One of the related initiatives is
Smart Energy. Through the initiatives under the UMS Ecocampus Plan 2013-2017, a total reduction of
44.50 % in energy consumption was recorded between 2014-2017 compared to 2013 and with 29 %
reduction in carbon footprint from 2014-2017. The commitment towards an ecocampus has significant
impacts on lowering energy usage and reducing carbon footprint. We believe that the smart energy
initiative will further contribute to another level of energy saving and carbon footprint reduction towards
reducing the impacts of climate change.
