Regular energy audits to identify high-consumption areas and propose efficiency improvements. 

Introduction: 

Al-Ahliyya Amman University (AAU) implements systematic and recurring Energy Reviews as part of its institutional energy-management strategy. 
These reviews ensure that all campus operations from buildings and classrooms to laboratories, IT systems, and infrastructure are continuously assessed for consumption patterns, efficiency gaps, and opportunities for improvement. 

The process is supported by the University’s: 

• Energy Efficiency Standards for New Builds and Renovations Procedure 

• University Building Energy Efficiency Policy 

• Carbon Management and Emissions Reduction Policy 

• Smart-Building automation systems (BMS, HVAC control, lighting sensors) 

• Renewable-energy integration frameworks 

Energy reviews allow AAU to maintain high operational efficiency, reduce unnecessary consumption, integrate corrective measures, and support long-term sustainability goals aligned with SDG7.

Impact Evaluation & Development Plan

1. Performance Evaluation
   
   • Energy reviews are formally integrated into AAU’s sustainability framework and conducted regularly across all campus facilities. 
   • Smart meters, Building Management Systems, and automated dashboards provide real-time insights for assessing energy performance. 
   • Collaboration between engineers, architects, ICT specialists, and sustainability experts ensures a comprehensive review process. 
   • Reviews consistently identify high-consumption areas and guide targeted improvements in lighting, HVAC, and building-operation practices. 
   • Findings from energy reviews directly inform upgrade decisions and policy updates. 
   • All reviews align with institutional sustainability goals and national environmental expectations. 

   
   

2. Development Actions

   Action 1: Fully digitize the energy-review cycle using integrated analytics tools and automated reporting. 

   Action 2: Publish an Annual Energy Review Report summarizing findings, implemented actions, and campus-wide improvements. 

   Action 3: Provide training workshops for faculty and facility teams on energy auditing, building performance optimization, and clean-technology solutions. 

   Action 4: Develop a feedback platform enabling building occupants to report inefficiencies and suggest enhancements. 

   Action 5: Introduce indicators to monitor the effectiveness of implemented improvements and track long-term efficiency outcomes. 

    

3. Benchmarking & Best Practice

   Adopted Global Best Practices 

   • Reviews align with international building-performance guidelines and sustainable energy-management systems. 
   • Smart-building analytics and environmentally responsive design principles follow global sustainability standards. 

   Localization to Jordan’s Context 

   • The review process complies with national energy regulations and supports local climate and construction requirements. 
   • Energy audits reflect Jordan’s renewable-energy strategy and national sustainability goals. 

   Future Goal (By 2028) 

   AAU aims to establish a fully automated, data-driven energy-review system that continuously monitors campus performance and supports a long-term transition toward a fully optimized energy-efficient campus. 

   
   
   Institutional Integration Summary 

   Energy reviews are embedded within AAU’s institutional framework, guiding facility management, renovation planning, and smart-building optimization. 
   Through ongoing evaluations, interdisciplinary collaboration, and evidence-based decision-making, the University ensures that operational efficiency continues to improve in alignment with SDG7. 
   This system strengthens AAU’s position as a model for sustainable, energy-responsible higher education in Jordan.
