This research focuses on cultivate energy literacy among university students in Malaysia and proposes ways to use behavior modification methods to improve energy literacy. Students' energy literacy is an essential of the "greening" effort, but they know little about how students understand energy consumption and conservation in universities. According to our survey results, more than half of the students gain energy-related knowledge mainly through informal learning experiences, which has raised concerns about the lack of awareness of energy-saving measures in Malaysian universities. Data on energy use, energy efficiency, expected behavior, and other issues with high visibility and visual performance may help improve energy literacy. Energy consumption, efficiency, desired behavior, and its rationale, as a visible and visual representation of data from institutional faculty, staff, and students, may help improve students' energy awareness and culture. © 2022 American Institute of Physics Inc..
