William Whistler, will be the guest speaker at the event. In his speech titled, ‘We are building refrigerators inside ovens,’ guest speaker Whistler, managing director of Green Building Solutions International emphasised on the role of the building envelope in reducing energy demand.
Adnan Sharafi, chairman, Emirates GBC, said: “The Emirates GBC networking events highlight the concerns of the various stakeholders in promoting sustainable development initiatives. There are varied aspects to be considered in green building development, and continued dialogue and industry interaction are imperative to setting a common ground to accomplish the UAE’s vision for green building development.”
He added: “The components of the structural envelope. The external envelope of buildings can play a decisive role in driving energy use efficiency, and he will bring new insights on the topic at the networking session.” New regional sustainability codes are increasingly underscoring the role of the building envelope in reducing energy demand. This is particularly relevant for the Middle East region with high ambient air temperatures. A quality design can be impaired by poor construction supervision or materials substitution, which adds to the thermodynamic stress on the building envelope system.
Emirates GBC, currently operating from its new office M-20 at Al Joud Center on Sheikh Zayed Road, has been hosting and participating in multinational events, conferences and forums since its inception in 2006. The Council has developed a suite of activities including technical workshops, focus days and training on specific issues related to the built-environment that meet the needs of its members, of the UAE community, and the wider Middle East.
