There are three main stations to generate chilled water needed to cool all the buildings of Sabah Al-Salem University City. The three stations are connected in one main network. The water needed for each college is cooled through heat exchangers located in each building along with all the pumps and equipment necessary to distribute cold water to the entire building and operate all air handling units.

Each cooling plant is equipped with a tank designed to store cold water from the chillers when the load on the chillers is low during the night. The chilled water is pumped from the tank into the pipe network during the day when the cooling load is at its maximum, which is intended to save energy.

Solar collectors have been installed on the roofs of colleges and buildings where the necessary space is available. These solar collectors work to collect solar energy and use it to heat the water needed for bathrooms, kitchens and laboratories. This process is considered the most important means of energy saving. Solar heated water is stored and distributed through pumps for use throughout the building.

Solar energy has been used to generate electrical energy through photovoltaic cells. Electricity generated from solar energy is used to illuminate emergency searchlights and Street lighting, as well as for educational purposes.

Fresh water is used to compensate for the water lost in the cooling towers, as the project was equipped with a link to quaternary processed water supplied via the Ministry of Works, stored in tanks especially prepared for this purpose. These tanks are located in the cooling stations used and are used to compensate for water lost during the process of generating chilled water. 

The selected sanitary ware has been chosen due to their ability to minimize water consumption through a sensor feature, as well as choosing the appropriate sanitary ware to save water during drainage.

Sabah AI Salem University City implements a special strategy for waste management. The waste management building includes two waste sorting facilities, including regular waste management such as food waste, and agricultural waste in the campus nursery. The other facility sorts and disposes of hazardous and biological waste collected from the campus, where there is a waste management unit is a waste management unit through which plastic, paper, biological and hazardous waste is sorted.
