The Vision of the Emirates GBCThe Vision of the Emirates GBC

“The UAE will be one of the 5 global leaders in the

reduction of the built environment’s ecological

footprint by 2015.”

Mission StatementMission Statement

The Emirates Green Building Council is an independent non-profit forum that shapes policies for the built

environment and facilitates collaborative solutions to promote sustainable practices in the UAE.


What do we do?What do we do?Work to influence policy and regulation in the advancement of sustainable built environment

Capacity build the community towards green building principles applicable to the region.

provide networking opportunities, technical workshops and conferences for member and non members.

act as a conduit between members and non members looking for support, services and products in relation to the built environment.

Provide the link between international Green Building movements and the local industry.

Environmentally Correct

Socially Responsible

Economically Viable

by 2030 60% of the world’s population will be living in cities……

GLOBAL URBANISATION

The Issues• rapid pace is forcing compromise

• exacerbated by population / standard of living increase

• complex design relationships

• very few urban sustainable successes

• no advanced holistic design tools

Materials

60% of all materials globally go into the construction industry

The Future• more recycling

• more sustainable stewardship schemes

• carbon labelling

• alternative and innovative materials

• material efficient design

• more local manufacture

• all deleterious materials banned

• global databases

The Future• more better recycling

• innovative demand reduction

• more and innovative desalination

• integrated grey & black water recycling

• sea water WC flushing

• new irrigation strategies

Water

over 60% of the earth’s population will face a water shortage

Transport

25% of all energy used is by transportation

The Future• integrated public transport solutions

• higher density development close to hubs

• fewer automobile miles

• low carbon emission solutions

• alternative fuels

• ‘product mile’ schemes

• more cycling / walking

• more congestion charging / taxation

Buildings

50% of all energy and 30% of all water generated globally is consumed by

buildings

The Future• low emission design solutions

• intelligent living building solutions

• low water design solutions

• higher density and more mixed use

• better public transport connectivity

• socially superior

• more local materials

• more durable

• more recyclable

• more refurbishment

• inclusively designed

• automated parking

• improved indoor environmental quality

• more integrated renewables

• lower embodied carbon

The Future

• self sustaining communities

• more ‘heart & soul’

• higher densities with transportation hubs

• integrated transport solutions

• low carbon infrastructure

• more urban renewables

• ‘total process’ recycling hubs

• better bio-diversity & ecological solutions

• vertical farming

• more ‘green – blue’ structures

• more secure

• inclusively designed

• more urban regeneration

• less pollution

Developments

Even though buildings are becoming ‘greener’ the ecological footprint of large developments and cities continues to increase

BEAMs and Legislation

The Future

• increased BEAM popularity

• some compulsory BEAMs

• development of DEAMs

• more & increasingly complex building control legislation

• carbon emission capping & and trading

• building / development labelling

• renewables proportion fixing

STUDY CONDUCTED BY INDEPENDED CONSULTANT FOR AIR CONDITIONING SAVING AT WARE HOUSE FOR HAWK FREIGHT SERVICES IN DAFZA – AED 340,000.00 PER ANUM.

Power requirement of a 5-TR capacity air cooled unit at an ambient temp of 46C KW 7.20

Total power consumption in 24 hrs KW 172.80

Power requirement after applying diversity factor of 85% KW 146.88 Monthly requirement of this unit KW 4,406.40 Monthly billing of unit @ Dhms.0.40/unit AED 1,762.56 Per ton cost of power at 24 hrs operation AED 352.51

Total A.C requirement of warehouse with conventional block costruction T.R 110.00 Expected power charges/ month AED 38,776.32 A.C load with "ICF" construction T.R 30.00

Maximum power charges expected with reduced tonnage AED 10,575.36 Saving / month AED 28,200.96

Annual saving AED 338,411.52

It does not have to cost more to construct

It is not too difficult

It makes economic sense

It makes sense for our planet

It makes sense for our future
