The British University in Egypt (BUE) has embarked on a comprehensive initiative to improve energy efficiency and sustainability practices within its campus. This project, funded by the Science & Technology Development Fund (STDF) and extended by the British Council in collaboration with London South Bank University, aims to optimize energy consumption and reduce the university’s environmental footprint.
Key Activities and Achievements:
- In-Depth Research: A thorough literature review was conducted to identify the latest codes and methodologies related to energy efficiency and sustainability.
- Awareness Workshops: Workshops were organized to raise awareness among the BUE community about the importance of energy conservation and sustainable practices.
- Data Collection and Analysis: A dedicated software tool was developed to collect and analyze energy consumption data, specifically focusing on Building A.
- Public Presentations and Publications: The project team presented findings and shared knowledge through public presentations and publications, contributing to the broader academic community.
- International Collaboration: The project’s scope was expanded through a collaboration with London South Bank University, leveraging international expertise and resources.
By undertaking these initiatives, BUE is committed to creating a more sustainable campus and reducing its carbon footprint. This project aligns with global efforts to promote energy efficiency and environmental protection.
