As a government university, both UAEU and our facilities management partner, Khadamat follow the Abu Dhabi government policy that has defined energy-efficient standards all new buildings and renovations of existing buildings. The Emirate has mandated a new building design methodology called Estidama for constructing and operating buildings and communities more sustainably including energy-efficiency.
Researchers from UAEU developed a model of Electric Vehicle Fast-Charging Stations
in Al Ain City and developed methods to help design and manage a coordinated fast
charging Stations planning model that enhances the user experience for Electric vehicle
owners. Ultimately, the project is beneficial for sustaining the fast-growing demands
for Electric vehicles in UAE and helps to prepare a plan to locate and size the Charging
Stations that benefit all stakeholders.
The fast-growing realization and recognition of the need for a sustainable carbon-free future have led many countries to initiate the deployment of electric vehicles (EV) on their roads. While this is a pleasant change and an indispensable need, it raises a critical problem.
Agricultural waste is being used by scientists at United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) to create a new material that could prevent buildings from leaking energy and help to make the nation cleaner and greener.
A new model to save energy in cloud computing has been developed by researchers at the United Arab Emirates University (UAEU). In partnership with the University of Maryland College Park in the United States, a leading institute on green computing, Dr Leila Ismail, Associate Professor of Computer and Software Engineering at the College of Information Technology, created the new distributed model for green cloud computing.
UAEU actively supports start-ups focused on low-carbon technologies and sustainability through its Science and Innovation Park (SIP). This incubator provides resources, mentorship, and funding opportunities specifically geared towards ventures that contribute to a low-carbon economy. Start-ups working on renewable energy, green technology, and sustainable agriculture solutions benefit from SIP's resources and partnerships with government and industry leaders. Additionally, UAEU’s SDG Research Program encourages innovative projects aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, offering further support to start-ups committed to environmental sustainability and carbon reduction.
UAEU provides direct services to local industries aimed at enhancing energy efficiency and clean energy practices. Through its College of Engineering and National Water and Energy Center, UAEU offers energy efficiency assessments, research collaborations, and specialized workshops focused on renewable energy options. UAEU also conducts projects and workshops in partnership with Abu Dhabi Energy Services, supporting industries in implementing sustainable practices and optimizing energy usage. Furthermore, UAEU’s SDG Research Program includes dedicated research on renewable energy technologies, helping local industries access innovative solutions that align with the UAE’s clean energy goals.
The district 4.0 Project at UAEU is a transformative initiative designed to support the UAE's shift towards Industry 4.0 by creating a comprehensive innovation and technology hub. Through District 4.0, UAEU provides local industries with hands-on workshops, advanced prototyping facilities, and access to specialized expertise, enhancing their competitiveness in the global market and supporting the UAE’s goals for a knowledge-based, low-carbon economy.
