Assiut University does emphasize energy efficiency in its construction and renovation projects, particularly with initiatives like the "Improving Energy Efficiency in University Buildings" project. This project, running from 2022 to 2026 and funded by the German Development Bank (KfW), involves the renovation of several buildings, integrating modern energy-saving measures. It aims to implement standards aligned with ISO 50001, which is specifically geared towards energy management systems.
In addition our university has many projects and partnerships in this field
- "Improving Energy Efficiency in University Buildings" Project (2022–2026), funded by the German Development Bank (KfW). This includes seven ongoing projects covering the Electrical Engineering Department building, the Architectural Engineering Department building, the administrative building, the student dormitory building S, road lighting, and the wastewater pumping station.
- Participation in the preparation and writing of the Climate Change course book developed by the Academy of Scientific Research.
- Projects funded by STDF, NTRA, and the Academy of Scientific Research related to energy.
- Smart Urban Governance Center (SUGC) for a Sustainable, Resilient, and Livable City.
- Designing and local manufacturing of a passive air condition system using solar chimney concept
- Sustainable Urban Development in arid Cities regarding Establishment of Urban Climate Labs
- PV Stand-Alone System for Green Hydrogen Generation and Storage for a House Hybrid Loads.
- An optimized AI Map for Solar Energy Maximization and Prediction.
- Smart Monitoring System for Distribution Power Grid - Smart Network in Assiut University.
