Sustainability is an integrative issue which various members of the comminity. One of the successful sustainability projects that was initiated in 2016-2017 is the CU Zerowaste project (http://www. chulazerowaste.chula.ac.th). In this project, the engagement of members of the university community was a key ingredient. Project results show the achievement of a 90% reduction in plastic bag use (equivalent to ~1,000,000 plastic bags saved) which required a commitment from students and staffs to be successful. The network of universities with similar conditions is also important in driving the university’s sustainable development programs. In late 2015, Chulalongkorn University, along with 15 other Thai Universities, founded the Sustainable University Network of Thailand (SUN Thailand) with the ultimate goal to guide Thai society in response to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. At Present, the network has expanded to a total of 27 universities from different parts of Thailand. Chulalongkorn University hosted the Annual Sustainable University Conference in 2017 as one of the quarterly meetings. academic programs. In terms of operations, in 2017, the Chulalongkorn University became a member of the 13 CU Committee for Campus Sustainability was International Sustainable Campus Network (ISCN) in established to oversee all sustainability programs on July, 2014.

14 Principle 1 - Sustainability Performance of Buildings on Campus
Principle 1: To demonstrate respect for nature and quality of life on campus and improving the society, sustainability considerations should be an sustainability performance of buildings on campus. integral part of planning, construction, renovation, and the operation of buildings on campus. Having just celebrated its 100th anniversary, the university building infrastructure naturally shows Chulalongkorn University aims to create and maintain varying signs of aging, according to a recent campus an environment where our students and staff can survey. Therefore, in the past few years, many buildings prosper in sustainable surroundings. Upon becoming a have been retrofitted to provide a 'safer' and efficient green campus, new construction and renovation learning and working environment. For example, projects have been approached with consideration of handicapped access was provided to enhance several various sustainability issues. The details of each project buildings and public spaces on campus. Also many are analyzed by the committee on design and buildings' air-conditioning systems were upgraded with construction which consists of senior architects, more high-efficiency systems. In addition, several engineers and designers in related fields. In addition, building automation systems were introduced in construction, operations, and maintenance processes selected buildings to monitor the real-time energy are now approached with sustainability in mind. At usage as well as provide collective data for energy Chulalongkorn University, the Office of Physical management purposes.

The Office of Physical Resources Management, in charge of the university's design and construction affairs, promotes the participatory design process in newer construction projects. The process involves a survey of users' needs and preferences with the goal to develop design proposals that best meet the requirements of the campus community. 5.
