Baseline

  • Electrical Energy consumption was 3,369,940  kWh in the base year.
  • Non- Renewable Electricity Consumption was 1,484,204 kWh in the base year.
  • Total diesel consumption was 21853 liter in the base year.
  • Total LPG consumption was 133959 liter in the base year.
  • CO2 emission was 6345 Tonnes in the base year.
  • CO2/FTE was 2.588Tonne/FTE in the base year.

Target

  • To reduce carbon emissions from campus-wide energy usage by 25%.
  • To put the university on a path consistent with a reduction in carbon emissions through energy management in building usage, with 50% reduction in emissions from lighting and 25% reduction from air conditioning

Policy Statement

We aspire to a long-term ambition to be carbon neutral from energy use by 2035.

Implementation Mechanisms

  • Develop and implement a Carbon Management Plan (CMP), which includes a roadmap to carbon reductions with appropriate targets and key performance indicators (KPIs).
  • Implement energy efficiency and green measures in all new projects and buildings.
  • Apply in a gradual manner energy efficient standards to existing buildings.
  • Use an electricity incentive scheme to provide a financial incentive for schools and units to reduce their electricity use.
  • Work with academics to use their expertise in solving problems and implementing effective solutions.
  • Monitor and analyze energy and carbon data and provide relevant information to colleges and units.
  • Raise student and employee awareness and invest in their training.
  • Review the operation of heating and cooling to ensure needs are met efficiently.
  • Install sub meters where appropriate for energy audit purposes.

Key Performance Indicators

  • Carbon emissions from energy use (Tonnes).
  • Carbon emissions from energy use per staff and student (Tonnes/FTE).
  • Carbon emissions from energy use per total budget (Tonnes/JD).
  • Percentage of energy generated from onsite renewable or low carbon sources (%).
  • Percentage saving of Electricity and Fuel (%).

Challenges

  • Lack of data.
  • Financial Resources
  • Existing behavior and culture.
