Implementation of the Policy on Energy Efficiency Standards for Buildings at Karshi State University

Systematic work is being carried out at Karshi State University to ensure the efficient use of electricity. Large-scale technical modernization has been implemented in university buildings to increase energy efficiency and reduce electricity consumption. In recent years, lighting, cooling, and office equipment in all major buildings have been fully replaced with energy-efficient models. These measures are aimed at reducing the university's electricity consumption, decreasing its carbon footprint, and practically implementing the "green campus" concept.
LED lighting system: 100% of the university buildings are fully equipped with LED lamps. Old fluorescent and halogen lights have been gradually replaced. As a result, up to 100,000 kWh of electricity is saved annually.
Thermal insulation: All new educational and administrative buildings constructed in the past 4–5 years are equipped with thermal insulation. This has reduced energy consumption by 20–25% during winter and summer seasons.
Energy-efficient equipment: All electrical appliances and laboratory instruments purchased by the university belong to the A+ or A++ energy efficiency class. Energy efficiency is the main criterion in the selection of computers, printers, servers, refrigerators, and air conditioning systems.
The number of renewable energy sources (solar panels) has reached 2790 units. The campus hosts a "Laboratory for the Use of Alternative Energy Sources", where the daily amount of energy produced, energy consumed, and energy saved are continuously monitored using modern tracking technologies.
As a result, annual electricity consumption has decreased by 15–18%. More than 95% of campus buildings are equipped with energy-saving technologies. Thanks to LED systems and energy-efficient equipment, CO₂ emissions are being significantly reduced each year.
