Developing Model and Scenarios of Energy Conservation Using System Dynamics (Study Case : Institute of Technology Sepuluh Nopember, Surabaya)

Abstract

Electricity is one of human’s need to operate all the electronic appliances. Electricity that we used is generated from crude oil and coal. Both are non-renewable natural resources and limited in availability. While electricity is also the next generation’s need. Therefore, we need an effort to guarantee the availability of electricity in the future. One of effort to guarantee the availability of electricity in the future is energy conservation effort. Energy conservation is the effort of using energy efficiently and rationally. In other words, energy conservation is energy saving. Energy conservation can be done in higher education because it has many populations and they use electricity in their main activities. Study about electricity saving are studied to identify the effort. From the study, one of the effort is to reduce the duration of use. So this research aims to know how much saving are obtained if we reduce the duration of use by using system dynamics.
