STU have several energy-efficient appliance usages, therefore, utilizing energy-efficient appliances can reduce costs, use less energy, ensure energy security, reduce emissions, and create jobs by 2024-2030, STU aims to use only energy-efficient appliance:
1. Due to their impact on energy conservation, air conditioners with inverters have been utilized on our campus in the lecture halls.
2. Solar-powered outdoor lighting will be installed in future developments
3. Our campus was using LED light bulbs. Compared to other lighting technologies, LED lighting generates more useable lumens and less waste light. According to the existing studies, using LED lighting may have resulted in an improvement in overall energy efficiency of 60% to 70%.
4. Ceiling fans are practical, especially in Iraq’s nearly year-round hot and humid climate. Ceiling fans can lessen the need for energy-intensive cooling, even if they cannot replace air conditioning. Invest in them to conserve energy and lower your costs.
5. There are numerous benefits to using thermal insulation in new construction, including: personnel safety, sound control, thermal performance, fire safety, condensation control, and personal comfort.
For example, the best practices in our purchasing policy in Computer services and telecommunication as follows:
• Servers (computers that service and manage networked resources for other computers, wireless devices, telephones, or networked devices)
• Data storage equipment (disk drives, solid state drives, and other data storage systems)
• Large networking gear (routers and switches that pass information among various network interfaces and ports)
• Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) (systems that provide electricity to computing equipment in the event that utility power service is disrupted).
We engaged in the recycling of several types of waste, including paper and plastic. We are implementing single stream recycling with the help of a local contractor, making it simple for professors and students to figure out what can be recycled furthermore all of our campus’ trash bins have four designated barriers, which greatly facilitates recycling. Electronic garbage is disposed of using a special container.
