Energy Efficiency and Clean Energy Policy

All environment & campus operations policies

1. Purpose

To reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions from university buildings and operations.

2. Scope

This policy applies across Future University in Egypt — all faculties, the Dental Hospital, the training Pharmaceutical Factory, student housing and administrative units — and to students, faculty, staff and, where stated, contractors and suppliers.

3. Policy statement

• Renovations and new buildings must meet energy-efficiency standards.
• Energy audits identify waste; penalties apply for non-compliance with the standards.
• An energy-conservation programme covers air-conditioning, lighting and office equipment.

4. Procedures

1. New builds and major renovations are reviewed against the energy-efficiency standard before approval.
2. Periodic energy audits identify high-consumption areas; corrective works are scheduled.
3. Efficient equipment (such as LED lighting and efficient HVAC) is specified in upgrades.
4. Energy use is measured and reported in the annual SDG 7 report.

5. Roles and responsibilities

• Facilities Management — reviews builds, runs audits and specifies efficient equipment.
• Sustainability Committee — reports energy performance.

6. Related policies

• Responsible Investment Policy

7. Legal and cultural alignment

Addresses the high air-conditioning demand of the desert climate and supports Egypt's energy-efficiency and renewable-energy targets under its National Energy Strategy.

8. Monitoring and review

Reviewed at least every three years, or sooner if Egyptian law, regulations of the Supreme Council of Universities, or THE/accreditation requirements change. The policy owner is responsible for monitoring how it is applied.
