Climate Neutral Real Estate - United Arab Emirates

The C NRE Gulf Region programme is a public-private partnership between the Dutch Government and knowledge institutes, technology companies and technology providers. This programme aims to enable real estate to become climate neutral in energy supply. Climate neutral buildings require a redesign of building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), the cooling system, smart monitoring, the electricity system, the water system as well as architecture aesthetics, functionality and well-being. The programme seeks to reduce carbon emissions in order to mitigate the climate risk, while driving the asset value and enabling green finance.

This seminar elaborates on leading technologies in the different disciplines, during engaging panels that look to collaboration to jointly achieve a higher climate performance. There is ample opportunity to network with link-minded professionals to create new connections and joint initiatives.

Real estate in the region has developed at a breathtaking pace, often with horizons for durability only spanning a few decades. Many buildings are up for a retrofit. The perfect opportunity presents itself to reduce the large energy and water footprint associated with these buildings. Construction materials have gone through an evolution as well.
