Summit Profile

Sustainability is an ever-important topic in today’s world; With an increase in global attention, alongside the fact that the UAE will be hosting the prestigious COP 28 in 2023, finding ways to reduce our carbon footprint has never been more relevant.

Lighting and HVACR account for the largest expenditure in energy in Abu Dhabi, so whether it is through retrofitting existing buildings with more efficient technologies and solutions or incorporating resource-optimized designs and technologies in newer buildings, significant savings can still be made.
