Energy Consumption & Efficiency

The University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa continues to lead in sustainable energy management by prioritising efficiency, low-power systems, and responsible procurement. In 2024, significant progress was achieved through infrastructure upgrades, appliance modernisation, and the introduction of a revised procurement policy mandating energy efficiency standards.

Key Developments:

  • University-Wide LED Lighting:
    Over 2,100 LED lamps (8–12 watts each) have replaced conventional bulbs across all facilities, offering lifespans exceeding 25,000 hours and reducing electricity demand in classrooms, offices, and outdoor spaces.
  • Air Conditioning and Cooling Systems:
    Of the 250 AC units, 175 (70%) are inverter models with variable-speed control, optimising power usage. Additionally, 180 of 200 ceiling fans are high-efficiency, low-power designs.
  • IT and Office Equipment:
    Energy-efficient desktops, monitors, and laptops with auto-sleep modes now dominate campus labs and offices. Printers and copiers are configured for low-energy standby operation.
  • Updated Procurement Policy (2025):
    All new purchases must meet energy-performance benchmarks, giving preference to:
    • Inverter HVAC units
    • Energy Star-certified refrigeration and lab equipment
    • Low-power IT devices
  • Solar Charging Stations:
    “Solar trees” across campus enable students to power devices sustainably, promoting renewable awareness through everyday use.
