The Clean Energy Business Council (CEBC), in collaboration with ENGIE, has released a whitepaper: Energy Efficiency in Existing Buildings in the United Arab Emirates: Towards Effective Policies & Regulations, addressing the critical role of energy efficiency in the UAE’s building sector. With buildings consuming nearly 70% of the nation’s electricity, improving efficiency is essential for reducing emissions and operating costs.
This whitepaper evaluates current policies, highlights key challenges, and recommends strategies for retrofitting, advanced technologies, and regulatory reforms. It offers a practical roadmap for policymakers, developers, and facility managers to support the UAE’s sustainability goals and commitment to a net-zero future.
