Public access to buildings
The University of Anbar ensures open public access to all its buildings, monuments, and natural heritage landscapes for students, teaching staff, and visitors.
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
The 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.
