8,335 residential structures have been built in accordance with green building standards over the last five years, according to authorities in Ajman. The Ajman Municipality and Planning Department said this is in line with the state’s directives and embodies the methodologies adopted in the Year of Sustainability, which has been extended for a second consecutive year.
The municipality pointed out that the figure includes the buildings that have been completed since the beginning of the implementation of the first phase of the Green Building Decision issued in 2018 until December 31, 2023.
The Director of Buildings, Engineer Khalifa Abdullah Al Falasi, said the municipality had achieved the target number for last year related to green buildings due to its continuous efforts to boost energy efficiency, rationalise water consumption, and raise the vitality of buildings by applying the standards and needs of green buildings for new residential villas in the emirate.
He explained, “We aim to provide a developed and sustainable infrastructure in a way that ensures that residents and visitors reduce carbon emissions in the emirate’s atmosphere and raise it to be a healthy and attractive city.”
The department seeks to build a happy community that contributes to building a green economy, concluded Al Falasi.
