- New life for 50 computers recycled for internal use / for donation.
- Promoting research, collaborative projects and participative approaches relevant to sustainability.
- Impact and radiance on the immediate environment, direct and indirect.
- Research on Sustainable Projects: Initiatives and Ongoing Actions:
- Proposed – Fabric Facade Project(testing, analysis, simulation, experiments, validation software…ext.); the proposal presented by the Netherlands consultant partner,
- Proposed – Ongoing Green corridors.
- Proposed – Greenhouses between the Design Studios.
- Proposed – Ongoing Green Roof Project.
- Proposed – Ongoing Main Entrance Green Lobby.
- Optimizing energy efficiency, designing efficient daylighting systems, developing water recycling solutions and considering “GU building” life cycle assessment based on scientific research.
- Make the GU building landmark in the surrounding socio-cultural environment.
- Develop new architectural style more attractive and sustainable to increase the number of registered students.
- Provide a positive impact of the campus interior environments on the wellbeing and comfort of both staff and the students.
- Creating a scientific value for the statistic data available about the implemented solutions for thermal insulation, cooling loads & natural ventilation, insulating materials currently used at GU buildings, and self-sufficiency solutions.
- Real sustainable practice implementation on the campus facilities and build environments.
- Supporting research collaboration at institutional levels (initiated research collaboration with Brunel University – UK).
- The expected research collaboration could be in terms of:
- Co-development of the required testing & experiments and validation of the simulations phase.
- Proposed ideas for the technical installation and feasibility studies.
- Collaboration on the implementation phase and research on relevant engineering processes.
- Publish research based on the implemented processes, selected projects and technologies employed.
