Energy efficiency plan to reduce overall energy consumption
Evidence for the THE Sustainability Impact Ratings 2027 · Indicator 7.2.4 · Reference period: calendar year 2025
Tashkent University of Information Technologies named after Muhammad al-Khwarizmi has an energy efficiency plan to reduce its overall energy consumption. The Energy and Carbon Management Policy, approved on 30 August 2024 (TUIT-SP-02, paragraph 7), sets out the plan: the University aims to reduce its energy consumption per square metre of floor area by 10% by 2030 compared with 2025, with annual measures included in the Building Upgrade Plan and the Climate Action Plan. The measures include energy-efficient lighting, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, regular energy reviews, monitoring of consumption and renewable energy. The Policy replaced the Energy Conservation Program adopted in 2023.

Target
| 2024 | 2025 (baseline) | 2030 target | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purchased electricity (kWh) | 1,900,000 | 2,331,596 | — |
| Electricity from own solar panels (kWh) | 705,200 | 981,288 | — |
| Natural gas (m³) | 234,753 | 386,748 | — |
| District heat (Gcal) | — | 4,084.6 | — |
| Floor area of the ten main buildings (m²) | — | 85,387 | 85,387 |
| Total energy use (GJ) | — | 40,299 | — |
| Energy use per m² (GJ/m²) | — | 0.47 | 0.42 |
Main measures
The following measures are carried out under the Energy and Carbon Management Policy (TUIT-SP-02, paragraphs 5, 6, 8 and 11):
- LED lighting with occupancy and daylight controls in corridors, auditoriums and toilets.
- Heating controls and individual heat substations in the largest buildings.
- Insulation of roofs and replacement of single-glazed windows.
- Additional rooftop solar panels, on top of the five solar plants already installed (755 kW, 1,366 panels).
- Everyday rules: lighting, computers, projectors and air conditioners switched off in empty rooms; decorative outdoor lighting off from 23:00 to 06:00; room temperature 20–24 °C; energy-saving modes kept on.
Monitoring
Energy is metered monthly for each building. Progress is reviewed by the Sustainability Committee twice a year and reported in the annual report.
The target is set in the Energy and Carbon Management Policy (TUIT-SP-02, paragraph 7). Paragraph 8 requires regular energy reviews of the buildings and an annual inspection before the heating season, and lets employees and students report energy waste through the University’s request system.
