ABSTRACT
This study presents a realistic vision at which the building of Collage of engineering, Al-Qasim Green University will be developed and converted into an environmentally friendly green building that suits with environmental and climate changes to encourage progress in sustainable development and advancing. saving energy and water, minimizing waste, and improving the quality of educational environments. This study illustrates that if solar PV panels are used, they will generate 30-50 % of their electricity requirements, hence leading to a decrease in reliance on fossil fuel and a drop in carbon production of 25-35 tons yearly. LED lighting and movement sensors will cut the lighting energy load by 60–80%. The BMS and IoT sensors are expected to deliver a 20–25% increase in resource efficiency Rainwater harvesting, reuse of graywater, and smart irrigation systems will reduce up to 40 percent of water usage.
