Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all
(Activities of 2022)
A policy in place for ensuring all renovations / new builds are following energy efficiency standards
Basrah governorate owns one of the largest power plants in Iraq, but the connection of the electricity network in the governorate to the national network and the governorate’s commitment to providing the rest of the governorates with specific electricity quotas made the governorate subject to programmed cuts and therefore the electricity supplied to the governorate is insufficient to cover the extreme need of the governorate, so the university campus in Basrah University is subject to programmed electricity cuts, too. This necessitated the development of plans for the purpose of producing electricity during the cut periods and rationalizing electricity consumption at the same time.
Rationalize the Consumption
Changing all room and laboratory lamps in all campus buildings to energy-saving lamps, including LED lamps.
Auto on-off lights
Some university buildings contain a motion and light sensor, so the lights go out when the place is free of movement and lighting. Most of the corridors of the campus buildings contain a large number of glass windows, which allows sunlight to enter so that the sensor turns off the lights to rationalize consumption and extend the life of the lamps used, whereas in the evening and during the evening study period, the lights are turned on automatically by sensing the movement of people in the corridor.
Energy Saving Devices
The university uses energy-saving devices (lights, fans, and cooling devices) that work by charging during the period of non-use, for the purpose of using them when the power is cut off.
Diesel Generators
All University of Basrah buildings have diesel generators that are used in case of a power cut-off. The university has specialized cadres to manage these generators. These are also measures to rationalize electrical energy within the generators' operation capabilities.
New Buildings at student hostel.
New Buildings of college of CS & IT
Large Windows
Enlarge the windows size to allow sunlight entering the rooms, corridors and halls on the campus, as well as to ensure excellent ventilation of the buildings.
Ventilation and lighting
-
All university campuses contain internal gardens to ensure ventilation, lighting, and warmth in the winter
The College of Engineering was characterized by inventing devices that operate in an eco-friendly manner to be used in green buildings.
Cooling System
Designing an eco-friendly cooling system to operate under outdoor conditions in Iraq.
Fresh Water Production
A system was designed that combines a solar diffuser with a ground-air heat exchanger and a solar chimney. The Solar radiation heats the water in the solar static pool, which heats and humidifies the incoming dry air which turns into a stream air moving inside a tube due to the heating and mass transferring. When the wall temperatures of the glass tube and/or EAHE are less than or equal to the dew point of moist air, the vapor condenses into water and is used in a variety of applications. The maximum solar productivity still being achieved in March was 157 kg/day while it was 369 kg/day in July for EAHE The year 207.44 kg.
