The University of Basrah seeks to be one of the fourth generation universities. In this regard, a part of the vision is to transform the buildings completely into smart management, and certainly, we aspire to reach this goal gradually. Currently, many procedures have been adopted at the University of Basrah under the guidance and follow-up of the presidency of the university, which are considered steps towards the smart building.
Automation
Building the internal intranet system at the university, which is one of the important steps in leading the process of internal digital transformation towards electronic governance, and many internal servers have been installed for use in the exchange of official documents between university formations.
Safety
-A system of cameras to monitor all campus facilities, including buildings, classrooms, garages and gardens, to ensure complete control over all entrances, exits, halls and laboratories. The University has been upgraded in terms of using sound and motion-sensitive cameras to transmit sound between the control room and all building facilities and to give instructions for any movement. All cameras are connected to mobile phones so that the administrators and control room can continue to monitor at all times.
Fire System
Many buldings in the University of Basrah are equipped with a smart fire system. In those systems, as the sensors indicate any change in temperature, they send an email and calls to the responsible caders to draw their attention that there is an abnormal situation and in the event of any fire breaking out, the system will work automatically to extinguish the fire.
Moving Detection Sensor
Important places are equipped with a movement tetection sesnors, so only certain people are allowed to enter to those places. Those devices are also controlled remotely or using mobile phones.
Solar panels
The University of Basrah is charchterized by the diversity scientific and literary disciplines, including the College of Engineering which has build an integrated and clean energy system that has been used to supply the college and its laboratories with clean energy.
Cleaning Solar Panels
Our cadres who work at the College of Engineering have invented a robot that can effectively clean the solar cells.
Smart Control of Natural resources
the University of Basrah adopts a policy of gradual transition to smart control of all natural resources. Some colleges adopt the use of autonomous faucets for the rationalizing water consumption and at the same time reducing touching the faucets in laboratories and during the pandemic.
Air Purity
The COVID-19 pandemic has created a real need for the use of devices to preserve air purity in the university buildings, so the corridors have been provided with air purifiers, and the university seeks to provide all buildings with devices that operate automatically for air purification.
Lighting Sensors
the University of Basrah follows a policy of upgrading all lighting in the university to smart lighting, to rationalize electricity consumption by using light and motion sensors to regulate the lights turning on and off, which is considered one of the effective ways, as most of the campus buildings contain large and wide windows, which make lighting unnecessary during the day, so the lights are turned on in the evening with the start of the evening study. In unused rooms, the lights are turned off or on by sensing movement.
Electricity Consumption
The University of Basrah follows a policy of upgrading all lighting in the university to smart lighting, to rationalize electricity consumption by the gradual transition to using sun sensors (lighting sensors) and solar cells for the purpose of switching to using them in lighting streets and corridors at the university in the evening, as this is important to rationalize electricity consumption.
