IIT Hyderabad is committed to becoming climate positive through a range of innovative sustainability initiatives:

1 Solar Power Generation: The Institute has established a solar power facility with a current capacity of 1 MW, with plans to expand it to 3 MW in the future.

2. Waste-to-Energy Solutions: Wet waste generated on campus is utilized to produce cooking fuel, contributing to a circular economy and reducing dependency on conventional energy sources.

3. Energy Efficiency: Sensor-based systems have been implemented across the campus to automatically switch off lights during periods of non-use, optimizing energy consumption.

4, Sustainable Cooling Solutions: Student housing on campus is cooled using passive radiant cooling techniques, significantly reducing energy demand. With 6.0 lakh saft of space equipped with this system, it ensures ‘thermal comfort while lowering operational costs. These initiatives reflect IIT Hyderabad's commitment to sustainability and its ongoing efforts to create an energy-efficient, eco-friendly campus.
