A. Project Context
Sponsor
Vice Chancellor, AIU
Manager
Facilities Director
Participating Organisations
Albukhary International University
Asset / Location
Albukhary International University Campus
Reason for Action
Reduce Scope 2 emissions and operating costs through campus-wide energy efficiency measures
B. Baseline
Current Situation
Campus buildings use legacy HVAC and lighting systems with high energy intensity
Baseline Date
2025-05-01
Baseline Metrics
kWh per m2 per year
Data Quality
measured
Counterfactual
Without intervention, energy costs and Scope 2 emissions continue to rise with campus growth
C. Objectives
Intended Change
Reduce campus energy intensity by 20% through LED retrofit, HVAC upgrade and solar PV
Target
20% reduction in kWh/m2 by target date
Target Date
2027-12-31
Affected Stakeholders
Campus staff, students, facilities team
Expected Benefits
Reduced operating cost, reduced emissions, demonstration project for students
D. Options
Alternatives Considered
Full solar microgrid (deferred - high capital cost), phased LED and HVAC retrofit plus rooftop solar (selected)
Do-Nothing Case
Continued high energy cost and emissions with no improvement
Reason Selected
Phased approach balances cost and impact while enabling future solar expansion
