Smart Lighting SystemToward an Energy-Efficient Campus
As part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency, the National University of Uzbekistan named after Mirzo Ulug‘bek has introduced a new Smart Classroom Lighting System across several buildings on campus. This initiative supports the university’s Affordable and Clean Energy goals by significantly reducing electricity consumption and promoting responsible energy use.
The newly installed smart lighting system operates through a combination of motion sensors and daylight sensors. These systems automatically adjust light levels depending on human activity and the amount of natural sunlight available in a classroom or corridor.
-
When a person enters a room, the lights automatically turn on.
-
When the room is empty, they switch off automatically to prevent energy waste.
-
During daylight hours, brightness is reduced automatically to maintain comfort and save electricity.
This automation helps ensure that lighting is used only when necessary, creating a balance between comfort, efficiency, and sustainability.
The National University of Uzbekistan continues to implement smart, sustainable solutions as part of its long-term Green Campus Initiative.
The Smart Lighting System is one of several projects — alongside solar panel installations, LED modernization, and energy-efficient appliance upgrades — designed to help the university achieve its goal of becoming a carbon-neutral institution by 2030.
“Every light we save today brightens the sustainable future of tomorrow.”
