3. Activate the role of regular maintenance in general, for example:
- Regular maintenance of the adaptation units to ensure work efficiency and reduce energy consumption. The
regular maintenance is achieved through cleaning the filters on a monthly basis and checking the cooling gas and
the efficiency of the cooling compressor on an annual basis, which is of utmost importance in reducing the cost of
maintenance, prolonging the life of equipment and reducing energy consumption.
- Cleaning and carrying out the maintenance of lighting units to ensure proper lighting.
- Maintenance and inspection of the ignition quality in the central heating system to ensure that the combustion
process is fully completed and that there is no loss of fuel as a result of incomplete combustion. This is done by
examining the combustion gases by a combustion specialist.
The proposed stages of implementation are extended over long periods depending on the municipality's capabilities
and can be carried out in parallel with the replacement of the lighting during maintenance so as not to affect the cost
greatly.

Some of the measures contribute to the development of environmental awareness, for example:
- Replacing the water faucets in the laundries with a sensor to ensure abundance of water consumption;
- The use of high-efficiency equipment in modern procurement; for example, the use of modern refrigeration units,
which consume much less energy than the older ones;
- Closing the windows to ensure that the energy is not lost when using air conditioning through distributing
instructions to the relevant departments and following them up to ensure compliance;
- Using environmentally friendly printing inks in local purchases and generalizing the concept of less printing except
for essential needs;
- Sort paper waste from others;
- Installation of motion sensors to control lighting in public areas such as bathrooms, stairs and others;
- When utilizing advanced elevators in the future, a system of high efficiency and low energy consumption should
be used.
General objectives
The actions undertaken by the municipality could reflect its critical role by participating in implementing such actions and
learning from them to explore the strengths and weaknesses and work on overcoming the difficulties.
These actions contribute to raising the municipality’s potential through the experiences gained and the capacity building
of its team. This does not stop here, but rather it contributes indirectly to an environmental awareness-raising to its
members that outreach the family community, in addition to the daily municipal supervisors.
The success of these measures will facilitate the transfer of the expertise to all other municipal departments, which are
distributed all over Irbid.
In addition, the actions will contribute to reducing the annual financial cost of the municipality to less than 30% of the
current cost, thus providing a new source of funding that can be used to improve community services.
