The Emirates Green Building Council launched the Energy Efficiency Online Database which will help facilitating building retrofit projects by streamlining the energy efficiency market in the UAE.
The online database will be accessible through the EGBC website. The concept goes in line with EGBC’s Energy Efficiency Programme launched last year with an aim to bridge industry experts with future energy projects. The online feature complements the programme, providing members with instant access to the Energy Efficiency Database.
According to chair of EGBC Saeed Al Abbar, one of the biggest challenges is the lack of awareness of the different players involved. “With the addition of the new online feature, we are able to speed up the process, streamlining our database in a more user-friendly manner, enabling our members and all stakeholders within the building industry to identify the right partners and solution providers during the planning process.”
