EMS targets real estate and industrial hubs for 'green building' promotion

In a recent breakthrough, EMS is working with the Al-Mushatta Industrial City in Jordan to bring its 'Green Concept' to the industrial hub and transform it to a 'Green Industrial City', which will be the first of its kind to embrace comprehensive energy-saving solutions in the Middle East. In its partnership with Al-Mushatta, EMS will create cost-saving and environmentally sound solutions to attract clients to the industrial city and help them increase profits and reduce costs.

'Energy management is no longer just a novelty concept; it has become a critical component in the sustainability of any business enterprise that has substantial investments in structural assets such as factories, residential towers or multi-purpose commercial buildings. EMS provides a comprehensive energy value analysis that assists clients in all phases of their projects and consequently help them reduce capital and running costs,'

said Khaled Bushnaq, CEO, EMS.

Among the services offered by EMS are green and energy efficient architectural engineering, which incorporates an in-depth analysis of the functions of systems, processes and building equipment; smart property system of fully comprehensive automated energy solutions through a control command center; and gas technologies, which help industries convert electrical and fuel energy to more efficient gas energy.

EMS also provides consulting services for water management to help reduce water consumption and effluence; and helps develop renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power. EMS is also distinguished for its ability to optimize energy performance and achieve significant savings without compromising the clients' operations, services, style and comfort level.

In 17 years of managing various high-profile projects in the region, EMS has helped clients save millions of dollars through customized energy programs.

According to a recent study by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHARE), the capital construction cost for any facility represents only 11 percent of its lifetime cost, while operation costs, including energy utilities, represent a massive 50 percent. Studies such as this have helped change the attitude of companies toward energy management solutions.

'Implementing sustainable energy programs has a lifetime impact aside from delivering immediate savings in the capital of any project. For a broader perspective, the advantages of creating an environmentally friendly atmosphere will be felt throughout the society in terms of better health, service efficiency, reduction in pollution, conservation of natural resources and a robust economy,' said Bushnaq.

Established in 1991, EMS has been involved in designing, implementing and investing in cost-effective energy projects for industrial, commercial and institutional customers, providing engineering and technical know-how to obtain optimum results. EMS, a co-founder of the Emirates Green Building Council, has invested heavily in state-of-the-art technologies and equipment, and boasts a highly competent team of engineers, who are all members of the Association of Energy Engineers.
