AVC College of Engineering is committed to becoming a model campus with regard to environmental
conservation.
A green campus is a higher education community with optimum land use, environmental planning, and resource
management,
i.e., improving energy efficiency, conserving resources, enhancing environmental quality including habitat
preservation,
healthy living environment, use of renewable energy, and management of wastes, water recycling, etc.
The buildings within the campus should be based on green building concepts to the extent possible.
The goal is to reduce CO₂ emissions, energy use, and water use, while creating an atmosphere where students
can be healthy and learn.
AVCCE has more than 30 acres of land with a large number of good-aged trees and a well-maintained garden,
which makes the campus evergreen and pollution-free. Ten permanent RCC buildings are available in the
campus,
and all the buildings are provided with rainwater harvesting units to preserve water.
All the blocks are oriented in the East-West direction with shorter facades facing the sun and surrounded by
big trees,
reducing the energy needed for air conditioning.
The administrative building has 10 kWp rooftop SPV systems connected with the light load to
save electrical energy.
A 1000 LPD Solar Water Heater is provided in the student home, supplying hot water to the
kitchen for cooking,
reducing the fossil fuel requirement. Provisions are also available to use this hot water for student
inmates.
A 10 m³ bio-gas plant is available in the student home, which converts kitchen waste and
night soil into bio-gas.
This bio-gas is used for cooking in the student home, saving fossil fuel and reducing monthly bills.
This also keeps the environment clean around the kitchen and toilets.
