The major energy efficient appliance in our campus are summarized below;

  1. In our campus, two kinds of Arie conditioning system were used, first: is the central unit (package unit). second: the Air conditioners with inverter in other lecturing halls due to its impact on saving energy.
  2. Ceiling fans are suitable especially in the Iraqi climate which is hot and humid almost all year round. Though they can’t replace air conditioning, ceiling fans can reduce the need for energy-intensive cooling. Invest in them to save energy and, thus, reduce the expenditure.
  3. LED light bulbs had been used in our campus. LED lighting produces less waste light and more useful lumens than other lighting technologies. Based upon the available studies, 60% to 70% improvement in overall energy efficiency could be got if the LED lighting had been used.
  4. There are future projects to install outdoor lighting powered by solar energy.
  5. Using thermal insulation in the new building can give many advantages such as; Personnel protection, sound management, thermal performance, fire protection, condensation control, and personal comfort.
  6. NTU put some policies on the usage of electricity appliances to achieve better results in energy saving.
