Smart campus – SDG NSU

1. Signalization System at Navoi State University

Navoi State University has implemented a modern signalization system across its academic and administrative buildings to enhance safety and operational efficiency. The system includes fire alarm detectors, emergency evacuation signals, motion sensors, and security alarms. These are strategically installed in corridors, laboratories, libraries, and server rooms to ensure rapid alerts in case of fire, intrusion, or technical emergencies. Regular maintenance and testing are conducted to ensure system reliability. The integration of these signalization systems reflects the university’s commitment to creating a safe, secure, and smart learning environment for students and staff.

2. Motion Sensors

Motion sensor systems are installed in hallways, restrooms, and lecture halls to automatically control lighting. Lights turn on only when movement is detected, minimizing unnecessary energy use. This system promotes efficiency by reducing energy waste during idle periods, especially in low-traffic areas.

3. Temperature and Humidity Indicators

Temperature and humidity sensors are placed in classrooms and labs to monitor indoor environmental conditions. The data collected helps regulate HVAC systems, ensuring optimal comfort and minimizing energy waste. These indicators support energy efficiency by maintaining balanced indoor climates based on real-time feedback.

4. Smoke Detectors at Navoi State University

Navoi State University has installed advanced smoke detectors in all key facilities, including academic buildings, laboratories, dormitories, and administrative offices. These detectors are part of the university’s fire safety system and are designed to provide early warning in case of smoke or fire, allowing for immediate evacuation and response. The smoke detectors are regularly inspected and maintained in accordance with safety regulations. Their integration supports the university’s goal of ensuring a secure and risk-free environment for students, staff, and visitors.

5. Vending Machines at Navoi State University

Navoi State University has installed vending machines across campus buildings to provide students and staff with convenient access to snacks, beverages, and essential supplies. These machines are located in high-traffic areas such as academic blocks, student lounges, and administrative halls. The vending machines are restocked regularly and offer both cashless and cash payment options. By promoting accessibility and time efficiency, they support student comfort and contribute to a modern campus environment.

6. Smart Energy Monitoring for Sustainable Impact

Navoi State University has adopted a smart energy management dashboard as part of its innovative energy efficiency and climate change programs. This digital platform provides real-time monitoring of solar energy production and energy flow across different university facilities. For example, the system tracks daily and annual energy yields, total CO₂ avoided, coal saved, and even the environmental impact in terms of equivalent trees planted. Such detailed insights help reduce energy waste, optimize power usage, and support data-driven decisions. The dashboard not only enhances operational efficiency but also educates students about practical applications of renewable energy and smart technology.

7. Smart Water Control with Gidrolock Technology

As part of its smart building strategy, Navoi State University has implemented the Gidrolock Premium Bugatti 1/2 system to enhance water efficiency and safety. This advanced leak detection system uses sensitive floor-mounted sensors and automated valves to detect and shut off water supply immediately when leaks occur. It prevents water waste, protects facilities from flood damage, and operates reliably even during power outages due to its built-in backup battery. Installed in dormitories, laboratories, and administrative buildings, the system supports the university’s broader goals of sustainability and climate resilience. It also provides students hands-on exposure to modern, eco-smart infrastructure management systems.

8. Smart Irrigation System at NSU

At NSU, the implementation of a smart irrigation system enhances water efficiency and promotes sustainable landscaping. This system integrates both sprinkler and drip irrigation methods to optimize water usage across campus. Sprinkler irrigation is utilized for larger green areas, ensuring even distribution and minimizing waste, while drip irrigation targets specific plants, delivering water directly to the roots for maximum absorption. By employing advanced sensors and weather data, the smart system adjusts watering schedules in real-time, conserving resources and maintaining healthy landscapes. This innovative approach not only supports NSU’s commitment to sustainability but also enhances the overall aesthetic of the campus environment.

9. Smart Automatic Gate Control System

Navoi State University has implemented a smart automatic gate control system at the main entrance. The system is equipped with high-resolution cameras and Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) technology. It automatically identifies license plates of pre-registered vehicles and opens the gate without stopping the vehicle. Unauthorized vehicles are denied entry. The gate can also be monitored and controlled remotely from the security office. This intelligent access control solution enhances campus security, improves traffic flow at the entrance, reduces waiting time, and contributes to the overall smart building and smart campus infrastructure of the university.

10. Surveillance and Monitoring

To deter criminal activity and support incident investigation, closed-circuit surveillance (CCTV) cameras have been installed in high-traffic and vulnerable areas such as building entrances, corridors, and parking lots. The footage is continuously monitored to ensure proactive threat detection and response. A staff member watches several CCTV camera screens on a large screen.

11. Low-Flow and Automatic Taps

Low-flow and automatic taps are effective tools for reducing water wastage in public spaces such as universities. Low-flow taps are designed to limit water discharge without reducing efficiency, cutting water use by up to 50%. They are especially useful in student dormitories, laboratories, and washrooms where taps are frequently used.

Automatic taps (sensor-based) operate only when hands are detected, preventing water from running unnecessarily. These taps are also more hygienic, reducing touchpoints and the spread of germs.

Installing both systems at Navoi State University would save significant water annually, lower utility costs, and promote sustainable campus operations.

12. Smart Access Control System with Face Recognition Turnstiles

Navoi State University has installed modern Face ID-enabled turnstiles at the entrance of every academic and administrative building. This smart access control system uses advanced facial recognition technology to automatically identify students, staff, and faculty members upon entry and exit.

The system accurately records the exact time of entry and exit for each individual and seamlessly integrates with the university’s HEMIS information system. This integration enables automated attendance tracking, enhances campus security, and supports efficient management of human resources. The implementation of biometric turnstiles significantly improves building access control, reduces unauthorized entry, and contributes to the university’s smart building infrastructure by combining security, automation, and digital management technologies.

13. NSU e-buses

Furthermore, Navoi State University plans to expand the shuttle routes and gradually transition to fully electric vehicles to strengthen its commitment to eco-friendly mobility and environmental responsibility.

In addition, a cooperation agreement was signed between Navoi State University and the Navoi City Transport Department. According to this agreement, Navoi State University leased electric buses brought by the Navoi City Transport Department and established free use of electric buses by university students and professors within the city and between campuses.
