The Andijan Machine Building Institute (AMBI) is dedicated to fostering an environment of sustainability and energy efficiency across all its operations. This commitment extends to the renovation of existing facilities and the construction of new buildings. AMBI recognizes that energy consumption in buildings significantly impacts our environment and operational costs. Therefore, this policy aims to ensure that all renovations and new builds adhere to established energy efficiency standards, thereby reducing our carbon footprint and promoting responsible resource usage.

• Enhance energy efficiency in all building projects undertaken by AMBI.
• Ensure compliance with relevant national and international energy efficiency standards.
• Decrease operational costs associated with energy consumption.
• Foster a culture of sustainability and environmental stewardship within our academic community.
• Educate and engage students, faculty, and staff on the importance of energy efficiency in building practices.

This policy is applicable to all AMBI faculty, staff, contractors, and stakeholders involved in the planning, design, renovation, and construction of buildings on campus. It encompasses all phases of the project lifecycle, from initial planning and design through to construction and post-project evaluation.

• ISO 50001: Energy Management Systems for improving energy performance.
• ASHRAE Standards: Particularly ASHRAE 90.1 for minimum energy efficiency requirements.
• LEED: Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for sustainable building practices.
• National Energy Code (NEC): Compliance with local and national energy efficiency regulations.
• BREEAM: Sustainability assessment method for environmental performance.
• Local Building Codes: Adherence to applicable local energy efficiency standards.

• Energy Audits: Comprehensive energy audits before renovations or new builds.
• Design Standards: Integrating energy-efficient systems and materials, including HVAC, lighting, insulation, and renewable energy sources.
• Compliance Monitoring: Regular monitoring of energy usage post-renovation or construction.
• Training and Awareness: Training sessions for staff on energy efficiency best practices.
• Reporting: Annual reports detailing energy consumption and efficiency improvements.
• Continuous Improvement: Staying updated on new technologies and methodologies for energy efficiency.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Involving students, faculty, and staff in sustainability initiatives.
• Sustainability in Procurement: Prioritizing energy-efficient products and services during procurement.

This policy will be implemented by the Facilities Management Department of AMBI, with oversight from the Sustainability Committee. A designated project manager will be assigned to each renovation or construction project to ensure compliance with the outlined standards.
