Today , with nearly 200 corporate and individual members from the building industry , EmiratesGBC ’ s mandate is clear : create awareness , promote dialogue and initiate action in built environment sustainability , given the fact that the construction sector and buildings contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change .
The Focus Days , training sessions , workshops and networking events organised thus promote awareness on green building standards through a multidisciplinary approach that covers the use of building materials , the importance of green building regulations and energy management measures .
“ We are at the forefront in fostering dialogue and tangible action to promote sustainable built environments ”
