The assessment of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions per year in study class
resulted to assess the students for a total of carbon dioxide emissions at 1,784.32 ton
CO2/Capital, with an average of 1.64 ton CO2 /Capital/person. The consideration by year class
of study found that the year class with highest amount of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions
was the 2nd year,which averaged 767.52 ton CO2/Capital including 2 programs: Bachelor of
Public Health Program and Bachelor of Science Program in Agriculture. The knowledge on
electrical energy usage of the students showed the most of aware in “maintenance of electrical
appliances helps to save energy”, and followed by the knowledge that “put too many stuffs in
the refrigerator will cause to consume more power than usual” and “electricity generation in
Thailand does not use fuel”. The behavioral aspect found that the electrical energy usage
behavior of students was recorded at often level consume. The information obtained from this
research is expected to be a guideline for creating a policy to conserve electrical energy and
reduce carbon dioxide emissions at Mahidol University Amnatcharoen Campus.
