Efficient Action, Real Impact | Energy Conservation Awareness Campaign

06 September, 2026

Every action we take can contribute to more efficient and responsible energy consumption.

As part of the Energy Conservation Awareness Campaign, we encourage the KAUST community to adopt simple daily practices that help reduce energy waste and support the sustainability of our energy resources. 

Simple energy-saving practices you can start today:  

    • Use air conditioning efficiently: Keep windows and doors closed while the AC is running and set the temperature to 24°C for comfort and energy savings. 
    •  Turn off unnecessary lighting: Switch off lights when they're not needed or when you leave a room, and make the most of natural daylight whenever possible.
    • Drive efficiently: Check and adjust your tire pressure regularly, avoid warming up your vehicle for more than 30 seconds, use navigation apps to plan efficient routes, and avoid rapid acceleration and frequent braking. 

    These simple practices can become part of our everyday routine. Small, mindful actions can collectively make a meaningful difference in improving energy efficiency and supporting a more sustainable future. 

    Remember, energy-saving practices do not compromise comfort; they help reduce energy waste. 

    This initiative is supported by Campus and Community at KAUST and the Saudi Energy Efficiency Center. The Saudi Energy Efficiency Center (SEEC) works to support energy conservation across the Kingdom by raising awareness of energy-saving practices, monitoring energy consumption, supporting energy-efficiency plans, and coordinating with.
