Green Campus page serves as the gateway to the institute’s commitment to environmental sustainability, aligning with the six core criteria of the UI GreenMetric: Setting & Infrastructure, Energy & Climate Change, Waste, Water, Transportation, and Education & Research. This platform gathers verifiable data, visual evidence, and narrative insights—including quantifiable metrics, descriptive narratives, and imagery—that collectively substantiate the university’s dedication to minimizing ecological impact and promoting greener campus living. By centralizing this information, İYTE ensures transparency and readiness for accurate evaluation under the UI GreenMetric methodology.

Building upon solid institutional foundations, the Green Campus initiative underscores İYTE’s strategic orientation toward sustainability on multiple fronts. From a meaningful Sustainable Campus Policy adopted in October 2021—emphasizing economic, social, and environmental pillars—to ambitious infrastructure projects like geothermal energy systems, wind turbines, and water-reuse fountains, the university demonstrates integration of sustainable design with educational purpose (sdgs.un.org). These on-campus implementations enable İYTE to furnish concrete evidence across energy consumption, waste diversion, water management, and more—bolstering its GreenMetric submissions with factual substance.

The page also highlights İYTE’s vibrant sustainability culture—engaging stakeholders through seminars, research initiatives, and academic programs. For instance, the coordination office organizes Sustainable Green Campus seminar series to spark dialogue and inform the community (acikinovasyon.org). Additionally, educational pathways in water resources, climate resilience, geothermal energy, and sustainability reflect İYTE’s mission to embed UI GreenMetric’s ideals into its academic identity (sdgs.un.org). Together, these initiatives enrich the Green Campus page with a dynamic mix of proof, participation, and progress—demonstrating İYTE not only measures up to global sustainability benchmarks but also educates and inspires through them.
