Bamboo Radiant Cooling Floor System (BRCFS) / Nursheryza Mat Shokkri and Wan Nur Syazwani Wan Mohammad

Green campus is a place where sustainable and eco-friendly activities are combined with education to promote sustainable and eco-friendly activities on campus. Numerous studies have investigated higher education institutions’ efforts (i.e., campus garden, 3R-reduce, reuse, and recycling, energy and water management, transportation sustainability and green building construction materials) to create a green campus. However, through green campus analysis, the innovation of existing concrete floor slabs using green building construction materials (i.e., bamboo) with current technology is limited. As a result, this innovation project aims to improve the material of existing concrete floor slabs while solving the problem that has been occurring in concrete floor slabs in the hostel blocks at UiTM Seri Iskandar campus. Extensive literature reviews conducted via various databases (i.e., Scopus, Web of Science, and Science Direct) were explored. Later, the simulation model using SketchUp 2019 was used to visualize the concepts and ideas of Bamboo Radiant Cooling Floor System (BRCFS). The findings revealed that the proposed BRCFS has the potential to be marketed (i.e., local, or international) due to its great benefits (i.e., providing a healthy environment with minimal dust or particles, providing the ideal indoor temperature, and being cost-effective). Thus, the proposed BRCFS would improve the existing concrete floor slabs and achieve the green campus program goal.
