Policy created: 2023

Next review date: 2026

Al-Bayan University established an energy efficiency policy in 2023 to guide all renovations and new construction projects, ensuring alignment with both national and international standards. This policy mandates adherence to the Iraqi Energy Efficiency Standards 402, 505, 506, and the British Standard BS 7671:2018+A3:2024 (IET Wiring Regulations), both of which emphasize energy conservation in building systems.

Under this policy, all university buildings are required to exclusively use LED lighting, including motion-controlled LEDs to optimize energy usage. Additionally, building designs are encouraged to incorporate energy-efficient architectural elements, such as open courtyard layouts, which enhance natural lighting and ventilation, significantly reducing energy consumption.
