Plan for Upgrading Old Buildings at the University

The University of Oum El Bouaghi has restructured all older buildings at different levels, including enhancing energy efficiency according to the following stages:

Stage 1: Evaluation and Analysis

• Evaluate the university’s older buildings to determine current energy consumption and identify primary improvement opportunities.
• Analyze the costs and benefits of upgrading lighting to energy-efficient options and estimate expected energy savings and expenditure.

Stage 2: Planning and Design

• Develop a detailed plan to upgrade lighting in older buildings according to timelines and financial budgets.
• Provide the necessary energy-efficient lighting and equipment for installation.

Stage 3: Implementation

• The installation of energy-efficient lighting, relevant systems, and controls in the buildings.
• Provide training to staff on the use of new lighting and efficient lighting control.

Stage 4: Control and Evaluation

• Control energy consumption after, for instance, the installation of new lighting and estimate actual energy savings.
• Assess the impact of the new measures of sustainability on the environment, budget, and user comfort.

Stage 5: Awareness and Education

• Raising awareness campaigns about energy savings and efficient lighting use.
• Frequently written reports on the state of progress of the plans and the achieved savings.

Stage 6: Continuous Improvement and Maintenance

• Conduct regular assessments of lighting and system performance to maintain efficiency.
• Develop additional strategies for improving energy efficiency in university buildings.

This plan focuses on changing lighting to energy-efficient alternatives as a model for enhancing energy efficiency in the older buildings at the University of Oum El Bouaghi. This model can be implemented based on the university’s available resources and tailored to its specific goals and priorities.
