Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University, Fez, Morocco

Abstract

Public management can play an important role in improving the energy optimization of Moroccan universities. By adopting efficient management practices and implementing appropriate energy policies, universities can reduce their energy consumption, decrease their carbon footprint and realize financial savings., while taking into consideration the examples or the cases of the universities having shared their experiences. Among the elements that we have noticed present in the majority of university establishments is the presence of a long-term energy strategy for universities, setting clear objectives in terms of reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This strategy should include specific measures such as installing energy efficient lighting systems, using renewable energy sources, improving the efficiency of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. In this article we will try to emphasize the key elements of the success of public management with reference to energy optimization by taking into consideration the case of Moroccan universities.
