In order to help the university to achieve 100% energy independence, the university has implemented PV systems and upgraded the existing buildings to higher energy efficiency by:
- Smart Energy Meter and Management System (AMI): Smart meter system based IoT technology for all the HU building is our new project. In 2021, we issued the project tender and started the implantation of it. This project aims to remotely monitor and control building energy consumption and improve energy efficiency from heating and air conditioning, to lighting and security systems.
- SCADA system for the PV projects in HU: The systems shall include monitoring and control systems to measures and records systems performance parameters. In 2021, we issued a new tender to upgrade the current PV project and developed a SCADA system. In the project, SCADA system will perform all data acquisition, monitoring and control functions of the PV system. In order to improve the energy efficiency, all necessary information concerning process behavior, instrument and integrity controller, sequential control and alarm function shall be immediately available at the operation consoles.
- Lighting: we replaced the building lights (fluorescent) with LED lights, which consumes less than 25% of the energy required by other fluorescent based light systems.
