The participation behaviors in the electrical energy saving of the undergraduate students of faculty of Science and Technology, Rajamangala University of Technology Phra NaKhon

Abstract

This research was aimed to study the participation behaviors in the electrical energy saving, the factors affected to the participation behaviors and the promotion of the participation behaviors in electrical energy saving of the undergraduate students of the Faculty of Science and Technology, Rajamangala University of Technology Phra NaKhon. The participants of 150 students from the Faculty of Science and Technology was also performed based on systematic sampling. The questionnaire was used. The statistical evaluation was also analyzed based on the percentage, mean and standard deviation. A 85% of participants is male, a range of age to be 19-20 years old (62.7%), second academic years by about 37.3% and a 65.3% of participants has been studying in the major of computer science. Knowledge levels in the electrical energy saving of the most participants are high (13.33%), moderate (62%), and low level (24.67%). The four participation behaviors in the electrical energy saving were analyzed including, electrical lighting system, air conditioner and ventilator system, office electrical system, and electrical equipment maintenances, resulting in very high level with the average mean of 4.25 and standard deviation of .547. First, the participation behavior in the electrical equipment maintenance was very high level with 4.31 and S.D.=.870. Second, the participation behavior in the office electrical system was to be 4.27 with S.D.=.828. Third, the participation behavior in the air conditioner and ventilator system was to be 4.21 with S.D.=.549. Finally, the participation behavior in the electrical lighting system was very slow level with 4.21 and S.D.=.672. By comparing the participation behaviors in the electrical energy saving with the different of academic major of students, the participation behaviors in the electrical energy saving did not significant different.
