Construction plan
3 months
24 months include:
1. Preparation of a full study which includes the most appropriate means to implement the project, cost
estimations, technical and administrative requirements, duration of implementation and the period of
capital recovery.
2. Comprehensive maintenance program for the central AC system and control of its operation according
to areas and hours of building occupancy, summer and winter AC loads and periodic maintenance
programs.
3. Training and qualifying for ASEZA teamwork staff.
4. Replacement of all traditional lighting units used in ASEZA main building (such as halogen, tungsten,
metal halide, fluorescent) with LED lighting units of higher efficiency and quality so as to save more than
40% of the total lighting consumption.
5. Use lighting control systems where necessary (motion detectors, digital timers, opacity systems..).
6. Shading all sky-light areas in the main building to reduce the increase in convection and increase the
efficiency of central air conditioners.
7. Installation of intelligent digital thermostats to determine the appropriate temperature for AC operation
and reduction of the human factor’s presence impact in order to ensure optimal operation of the cables
and reduce the loads of air conditioning at rates of not less than (10%).
8. Establishment of a centralized system to monitor the electrical loads of the main ASEZA building, analyze
the flow of energy up to date and determine the means of rationalization of consumption and
application according to the data received from the system.
9. Building an 800 kW solar power system to secure a part of the building's actual energy needs, taking
advantage of parking spaces and building surfaces to secure space.
10. Mainstream and disseminate a culture of energy conservation among the Authority's employees from
the beginning, and expand to all sectors and target groups.
