​As part of the scientific and awareness-raising activities held by the Department of Electrical Engineering Techniques, the department organized a scientific workshop titled "Scenario Analysis of Bidirectional Integration Between Electric Vehicles and Buildings to Improve Energy Efficiency and Reduce Carbon Emissions" on November 9, 2026. The workshop was presented by Assistant Lecturer (M.M.) Zahraa Ibrahim, aiming to highlight modern energy management technologies and promote sustainability concepts in electrical systems. ​The workshop addressed the concept of bidirectional integration between electric vehicles and buildings (Vehicle-to-Building / V2B), which enables dynamic electrical energy exchange between vehicles and structures through smart charging and discharging technologies. This approach contributes to optimizing electrical load management and making the most effective use of available energy. ​Furthermore, the session included an analysis of several practical deployment scenarios for integrating electric vehicles with building energy systems. It reviewed the role of these technologies in shaving peak loads, enhancing energy consumption efficiency, reducing reliance on conventional energy sources, lowering carbon emissions, and promoting environmental sustainability. ​The workshop also emphasized the importance of utilizing smart energy management systems and modern technologies to upgrade building infrastructure, keeping pace with the global transition toward more efficient, flexible, and sustainable power grids. ​This initiative comes as part of the Department of Electrical Engineering Techniques' commitment to keeping pace with modern technological advancements, supporting scientific activities that enrich students' engineering knowledge, and connecting theoretical concepts with practical applications—empowering students as Makers of Impact in building a sustainable energy future. ​Al-Mustaqbal University: The First University in Iraq.
