Our client, Aldar Properties, is one of the most trusted and recognised real estate lifestyle developers in the UAE. As a socially responsible leader in the real estate sector, Aldar understands how crucial it is to take proactive measures towards reducing their carbon footprint. The primary step to achieving this goal was to fully understand their energy consumption and put in place measures to ensure that they are efficient across all owned and managed assets. Aldar Properties (‘Aldar’) in 2022, launched a portfolio-wide energy management project to reduce their energy consumption.
