Assistant Undersecretary for Educational Facilities and Commissioning Planning, Eng. Mohammed Al-Khalidi held a joint coordination meeting with representatives from the Ministry of Electricity and Water, headed by the Assistant Undersecretary for Monitoring, Control and Oversight Centers, Chairperson of the Electricity and Water Rationalization Strategy Committee Eng. Fatima Hayat, in the presence of representatives of the educational districts and engineers from the Ministry of Electricity and Water.
During the meeting, ways to enhance work between the two sides, joint cooperation and exchange of experiences and professional practices were discussed, in order to achieve success during the practical course of both sides, reports Al-Jarida daily.
In turn, Al-Khalidi explained that the strategy of the campaign to rationalize electricity consumption was initiated through the process of closing and controlling air-conditioning systems during the recession period (summer), except for schools where summer clubs, server rooms, technology rooms, theaters, and halls are held as required.
This is in addition to schools in which there is a so-called preventive maintenance of air-conditioning systems, in light of the Ministry of Education’s readiness for the new academic year.
He stressed that the Ministry of Education seeks to improve energy efficiency by selecting energy saving devices to be a substitute for those currently being used in some schools to rationalize optimal consumption in all sectors of the MOE facilities, which contributes to supporting and rationalizing electricity consumption during the summer period 2023, and the increasing demand for energy.
