Public access to buildings
University of Anbar ensures open public access to all its buildings, monuments, and natural heritage landscapes for students, teaching staff, and visitors.
Constructing smart buildings
University of Anbar aspires to become one of the fourth-generation universities. As part of this vision, the university aims to completely transform its buildings into smart management systems. The university is working towards this goal gradually, with various measures already implemented under the guidance and supervision of the university presidency. These efforts signify significant progress toward developing smart buildings at the University of Anbar.
Smart system
University of Anbar applied a smart system in some university buildings that includes sensors for movement and light. This advanced system automatically turns off the lights in areas where no movement is detected, thereby improving energy consumption and extending the life of the lamps. Furthermore, campus buildings are designed with an abundance of glass windows along the hallways, allowing natural sunlight to illuminate indoor spaces. Taking advantage of this feature, sensors detect the presence of sunlight and intelligently disrupt the lights, enhancing energy efficiency. Conversely, during evening hours and study periods, the use of smart cameras detects in the intelligent system human movement in the corridors and automatically activates the lights to provide appropriate lighting.
Green Building
University of Anbar, our approach to constructing facilities and centers involves incorporating large windows that facilitate ample sunlight penetration into rooms, corridors, and halls on campus. This design choice not only maximizes natural lighting but also ensures optimal ventilation throughout the buildings.
Using Energy saving devices
We employ energy-saving devices such as lights, fans, and cooling systems that utilize a charging mechanism during periods of non-use. This allows us to store energy for later use, particularly during power outages.
LED Lightings
To further optimize energy consumption, we have replaced conventional room and laboratory lamps across all University of Anbar buildings with energy-efficient alternatives, including LED lamps.
Automation
University of Anbar considers the development of an internal intranet system as an important step in advancing the process of internal digital transformation toward electronic governance. To facilitate the exchange of official documents among different university departments, the university has successfully installed multiple internal servers. These initiatives are crucial in promoting efficient communication and enhancing overall operational effectiveness within the University of Anbar.
Fire system
University of Anbar has taken proactive measures to enhance fire safety within its buildings. Many of the university's buildings are equipped with smart fire systems. These systems utilize sensors to detect any fluctuations in temperature. Whenever an abnormal situation is detected, the system promptly sends email notifications and initiates phone calls to notify the responsible authorities. In the event of a fire outbreak, the smart fire system is designed to automatically activate and take appropriate actions to extinguish the fire. This implementation significantly contributes to the overall fire safety measures at the University of Anbar.
Moving Detection Sensor
Specific individuals are granted access to significant locations through the utilization of motion-detection sensors, while the operation of these devices can be managed either remotely or via mobile phones.
Solar panels
University of Anbar is characterized by the diverse scientific and literary disciplines, which has to build an integrated and clean energy system that has been used to supply the college and its laboratories with clean energy.
Biodiesel
University of Anbar has undertaken clean energy production projects, including the utilization of biodiesel and bioethanol as alternative biofuels to petroleum. These initiatives have enabled the University to generate electrical energy through the use of bioethanol, contributing to the university's efforts in sustainable energy production.
Smart Control of Natural resources
University of Anbar has implemented a strategy to gradually shift towards intelligent management of its natural resources. As part of this initiative, several colleges have embraced the installation of autonomous faucets in order to promote water conservation and minimize physical contact with faucets in laboratories, particularly during the ongoing pandemic.
Air Purity
In order to maintain clean air quality within university buildings, the University of Anbar has implemented the use of devices to preserve air purity. As a part of this effort, air purifiers have been installed in corridors, and the university is actively working towards equipping all buildings with automated air purification systems.
Lighting Sensors
University of Anbar has implemented a policy to modernize the lighting systems across the campus with smart lighting technology. This initiative aims to optimize electricity consumption by utilizing light and motion sensors to regulate the activation and deactivation of lights. This approach proves highly effective, especially considering that many buildings on the campus feature large windows that provide ample natural daylight during the day, rendering artificial lighting unnecessary. Therefore, the lights are programmed to turn on in the evening when evening study sessions commence. Additionally, in unoccupied rooms, the lights are automatically turned off or activated based on motion detection.
Electricity Consumption
University of Anbar is implementing a strategy to enhance its lighting systems by adopting smart lighting technology. This approach aims to optimize electricity usage by gradually incorporating sun sensors (lighting sensors) and solar cells. The intention is to utilize these technologies for illuminating streets and corridors on campus during evening hours. This initiative plays a crucial role in the university's efforts to conserve energy and promote efficient electricity consumption.
Housing for employees
Affordable housing for employs
During the period of 2020-2021, the Anbar governorate implemented a housing program aimed at providing residences to teaching staff and employees. This initiative resulted in the provision of numerous new houses to employees, with a particular focus on those who were married and had larger families. The effort aimed to address the housing needs of these individuals and contribute to their overall well-being.
