Energy Efficiency and Management Laboratory (EEML)

The EEML has established a state-of-the-art laboratory for theoretical and practical training of students and professionals, meeting space, administrative support, and energy efficiency and management research. Additionally, it provides precise and reliable energy auditing services through the use of advanced equipment and expertise. The EEM Laboratory is equipped with a comprehensive array of high-tech energy audit measuring instruments and equipment, as well as a modern conference room. The EEML offers a variety of training courses and workshops on energy efficiency improvements and energy demand management with the goal of increasing participants' knowledge and skills in order to help Saudi Arabia achieve its Vision 2030 goals. Additionally, EEML educates participants about energy efficiency and equips them with theoretical, methodological, and practical knowledge necessary to meet the Kingdom's future energy demands. Additionally, EEML provides comprehensive training for students, engineers, and all industry professionals in the areas of energy audits and assessments, as well as energy monitoring systems.

Equipment List:
S/No. Equipment and Function Picture
1.        Thermal imaging (or infrared) camera:
It is used to detect heat losses to locate and identify missing or damaged building façade components, such as such as building envelope and thermal insulation, of the building.
2.        Lux/Illuminance meter:
It is used to measure the lighting level or the illuminance in different (or chosen) spaces of the building, in (lux).
3.        Laser meter:
It is used for the measurement of length/distance, and area/volume of the space.
4.        HOBO MX Temp/RH logger:
It is used to measure and record the air-temperature and the relative humidity at different places of the building.
5.        CO2 logger:
It is used to measure and record the CO2 level in different spaces of the building.
6.        Room Occupancy and Light Data Logger:
It is used to continuously record the switching on/off the lighting and the presence/absence of occupants in different spaces of the building.
7.        eGauge meter:
It is used, at main power feed, to measure and record the electricity consumption of the whole school, including lighting and air-conditioning.
