UAE’s first eco-friendly building to be ready soon
DEWA says that new green building will generate 600kW of electricity using solar power
The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has announced that construction of its 31,587 m2 new green building is set for completion ‘soon.’
The building, which is dedicated for the water and civil division of the state-run utility, will be the UAE’s first green building that can significantly cut down energy consumption and generate 600kW of electricity using solar power.
The new building would be operated through the building management programme, which can manage HVAC units in the facility in a way that allows electricity savings and automated control operations.
“The facility is also equipped with high-efficiency insulatives and smart building systems,” said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, CEO of DEWA.
“It also uses LED technology in lighting, which allows saving 50% of the energy used in order to protect environment as part of our commitment and responsibility towards society,” he added.
