2025 result. The updated Carbon Footprint Report 2025  (PDF) records total energy consumption of 1,400,278 kWh, equivalent to approximately 5,041 GJ. Consumption was 10.9% lower than in 2024 and 80.8% lower than the 2019 baseline. These figures provide direct, measured evidence of progress under the Energy Efficiency Plan.

ANNU met its reported electricity demand without purchased electricity in both 2024 and 2025. Renewable generation reached 4,580,168 kWh in 2025. The updated report also records total Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions of 381.30 tCO₂e, a 93.4% reduction from 2019. Energy reduction, renewable generation, and greenhouse gas reduction are reported as distinct outcomes.

3. Key Components of the Energy Efficiency Plan

A. Energy-Efficient Infrastructure

• LED lighting, insulation, and HVAC: ANNU’s retrofit programme addresses inefficient lighting, building-envelope losses, and the performance of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems. Energy reviews guide the selection and sequencing of building improvements.

• Building Management Systems: The plan calls for wider integration of automated controls for lighting, temperature, and ventilation so that systems operate according to building use and occupancy.

• Power-factor correction and load balancing: Electrical-system improvements form part of the plan to reduce avoidable losses and improve the management of campus loads. Implementation is assessed through technical reviews and facility records.

B. Renewable Energy Expansion

• Solar photovoltaic systems: ANNU continues to develop its portfolio of campus and university-related PV projects. The existing plan cites an approximately 2.9 MWp portfolio, including projects at different stages. Installed and operational capacity should be distinguished from planned capacity in project records. The measured 2025 renewable-generation result is 4,580,168 kWh.

• Solar water heating: The plan includes solar water heating for the sports complex, swimming pool, and other suitable facilities. The previously stated 481,800 kWh/year should be labelled as a system estimate unless confirmed as measured annual output.

• Biogas and biodiesel: The plan includes the use of organic residues, animal waste, and used cooking oil as potential inputs for alternative-fuel projects. Individual units should be identified as operational, pilot, or planned according to their project records.

• Small wind systems: Small-scale wind generation remains within the plan for suitable remote monitoring stations and lighting applications. Its installed status and annual output should be reported separately from the measured 2025 renewable-generation total.

Renewable-energy expansion reduces dependence on purchased power and supports the University’s climate goals. The efficiency result is measured by the reduction in energy consumed, rather than by generation alone.

C. Smart Monitoring and Auditing

• Energy monitoring and annual review: Facility data, available Najah2Twin information, and the Energy Review and Audit Framework support the identification of high-use buildings, equipment losses, and changes in consumption.

• Energy Use Index benchmarking: Where reliable floor-area and meter data are available, ANNU compares energy use in kWh/m² across buildings and over time.

• Targeted Energy Conservation Measures: Review findings inform measures such as reducing overnight loads, adjusting HVAC schedules, improving lighting controls, and optimizing ICT equipment use. Subsequent consumption data are used to assess their effect.

D. Awareness and Capacity Building

• “Turn It Off – Save Our Future”: The plan retains this campus awareness campaign to encourage switching off unnecessary lighting and equipment. Participation figures, including the previously stated reach of more than 6,000 students and staff, should be reported with the relevant campaign record.

• Carbon-literacy and facilities training: Training for facilities personnel addresses energy-saving practices, efficient operation of building systems, and the relationship between energy use and emissions.

• Teaching and learning: Energy-efficiency principles are incorporated into relevant engineering and environmental courses, connecting campus practice with academic learning.

• Recent staff training: The University has documented practical workshops on environmental sustainability and carbon footprints, energy conservation and efficiency, and solar energy and electricity conservation. Further activities appear on the SDG Training Academy events page.

4. Future Energy Reduction Targets

Goal	Target year	Performance indicator
Maintain renewable supply for reported electricity demand	2024–2028	Purchased electricity and renewable generation reported annually
Reduce overall energy intensity by 40% against the 2019 baseline	2028	Comparable kWh/m² measurements
Complete planned LED and Building Management System integration	2026 target	Documented coverage of buildings and outdoor areas
Expand the solar PV portfolio toward 4 MWp	2026 target	Installed capacity reported separately from planned capacity; generation and surplus measured
Work toward the University’s Net Zero 2028 commitment	2028	Annual energy balance and Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions; any independent verification identified separately

 

The targets remain part of the 2024–2028 plan. Annual reviews should identify which measures have been completed, which are under implementation, and whether target dates require revision.

5. Commitment to the Palestine Green Building Guideline  (PDF)

ANNU uses the Palestine Green Building Guideline to inform new construction and renovation decisions. The plan addresses:

• Maximum practical use of daylight and passive ventilation.

• Efficient building envelopes and HVAC design.

• Rainwater harvesting and greywater reuse.

• Suitable local materials and construction-waste reduction and recycling.

Project-level design and completion records provide the basis for demonstrating how the guideline has been applied to individual buildings.

6. Monitoring and Reporting

• Energy records and dashboard data: Facilities teams use meter and operational records, together with available Najah2Twin data, to monitor consumption and investigate unusual loads.

• Periodic management review: The plan provides for quarterly examination of energy performance and corrective actions. Reporting frequency and building coverage are documented in the corresponding internal records.

• Annual public reporting: ANNU publishes its carbon and energy reporting and the updated Carbon Footprint Report 2025  (PDF).

• Project-based technical collaboration: The EU-funded Med-EcoSuRe project and Najah2Twin-related work support technical learning and energy-management development. These collaborations are described separately from independent verification of ANNU’s energy or emissions figures.

• Public access: The University’s Sustainability Portal and SDO office provide access to related plans, reports, initiatives, and institutional responsibilities.

7. Financing, Partnerships and Related Projects

ANNU combines institutional investment, technical cooperation and externally funded projects to build capacity for energy efficiency and clean-energy development. The projects below serve different purposes; their participation records should not be counted as measured campus energy savings.
