Baseline

  • To what extent, the university’s current construction designs support sustainability issues in: Energy and water savings, Solid waste reduction, Maintenance and operation efficiency (cost), Building’s indoor atmosphere quality (Lighting, Ventilation and Heating) and Minimizing environmental impacts.

Targets

  • To achieve the minimum acceptable level of the Jordan Green Buildings Guide (JGBG) for new construction projects.
  • To construct new buildings in a sustainable manner supporting sustainability issues.

Implementation mechanisms

  • Implement building’s site design as per the JGBG criteria.
  • Thermally insulate building envelope as per the JGBG criteria. 
  • Recycle and reuse construction materials into building operations.
  • Achieve minimum levels of internal air quality.
  • Focus on water and energy saving techniques.
  • Light buildings’ green area and surroundings.

Key Performance Indicators

  • Ratio of Energy saving.
  • Ratio of Water saving.
  • Maintenance cost for new buildings.
