Dubai Supreme Council of Energy and Dubai Land Department enhance sustainability in Dubai’s real estate sector

The Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, alongside the Dubai Land Department's Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA), hosted a collaborative workshop on optimizing energy and water usage in buildings, aligning with RERA's recent energy efficiency policy for shared properties. Over 100 stakeholders attended, discussing methods to conserve resources and increase operational efficiency, thus raising the investment value of real estate units.

 

The workshop underscores Dubai's commitment to sustainability, echoing the directives of its leaders to prioritize environmental responsibility. It also aligns with the outcomes of COP28, emphasizing joint efforts to implement energy efficiency policies. This collaboration aims to position Dubai as a global leader in sustainability.

 

The partnership between the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy and RERA signifies a shared goal to transform the energy sector and reduce emissions. It supports Dubai's objectives for energy management and its vision of achieving net zero emissions by 2050.

 

RERA's energy efficiency policy focuses on seven standards to enhance energy management in shared properties, promoting sustainability and reducing consumption. Additionally, the Buildings Energy Management Accreditation Scheme (BEMAS) was introduced to facilitate operational sustainability and financial savings for stakeholders.

 

Through presentations from industry leaders like the Dubai World Trade Centre and ENGIE Solutions, the workshop highlighted the importance of energy efficiency in real estate. The collaboration between government entities and private stakeholders aims to create a more sustainable built environment, benefiting both the economy and the community.

 

RERA's proactive approach underscores its role in promoting sustainability within the real estate sector, particularly through initiatives like the energy efficiency management policy. This policy provides guidelines for implementing energy and water efficiency measures, further solidifying Dubai's commitment to sustainable development.
