“These awards are expected to be an inspiration especially a campus that should be able to be a leader in education about environmentally friendly and energy saving for its students.

New Media Tower building is a building that carries the concept of energy saving applied completely by controlling heat and sunlight entering the room and also minimizing the use of air conditioning. Some of these ways are through heat control using a double skin façade consisting of an inner layer wall and a layer of small perforated aluminum plates as an outer layer. The New Media Tower also has many open spaces that use natural air vents. Thus the room becomes not hot so that the use of air conditioning can be reduced. With this reduction, New Media Tower can reduce electricity consumption by up to 47%.
