11.4.8 The University's build new buildings to sustainable standards

Does your university as a body build new buildings to sustainable standards? (If "yes", are you following a national standard or body, e.g., the World Green Building Council, that certifies it? Please indicate.

Yes, the Faculty of Engineering at Assiut University proudly integrates principles of sustainable design across its buildings, serving as a practical model for green architecture. This is exemplified in both the historic structure on the Old Campus and the modern facility on the New Campus. These buildings are equipped with fundamental passive and active green systems, including self-ventilation systems to promote natural airflow, strategic daylighting to maximize the use of sunlight, and energy-efficient LED lighting throughout.

Beyond these core features, the buildings employ advanced technologies for superior energy management. This includes a periodic monitoring system for energy consumption to optimize efficiency, inverter-based air conditioners, and water heaters that significantly reduce electricity use.
