Public Lighting and Governmental Buildings Public lighting and governmental buildings consumes 7%and 5.% respectively. Two important studies were carried out: –Energy efficiency opportunities in governmental buildings, –Public lighting energy efficiency through the use of efficient lighting systems. Energy Efficiency Improvement & Greenhouse Gas Reduction Project 80

Energy Efficiency Improvement & Greenhouse Gas Reduction Project 80 Energy Efficiency Initiatives in Governmental Buildings Study recommendations:  Short term recommendations: Appointment of an energy manager for each governmental building in addition to awareness programs  Medium term recommendations : Implementing retrofits of the current governmental building facilities especially for the lighting system, in addition of improving power factor for these buildings.  Long term recommendations: Developing governmental procurement guidelines to take into consideration energy efficiency concept. This stage will rely on the results and experience gained from the medium term recommendations.

The Ministry of Electricity and Energy has taken the initiative of starting by its own buildings.
