Energy efficient buildings and renovations policy

JGU is committed to addressing the carbon impact of our buildings by measuring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions. We have taken the following measures to ensure buildings efficiency:

1. 97-98% of lights in the campus are LED lights. We are working to increase this to 100%.
2. All street lights have been converted to LED based flood lights
3. Power factor is maintained at the unity level to eliminate power related transmission losses.
4. All external lights are switched on/off as per the timer.
5. Campus have been able to achieve one Megawatt of Solar Power load out of 10 MW total demand load.
6. Air conditioning plants are centrifugal and screw type, which are energy efficient Aircon machines.
7. Toilet exhaust fans are switched on/off via timer switches to avoid unnecessary power consumption.
8. Variable frequency drives are in service to conserve motor power load requirements.
