The RSB develops and administers frameworks to encourage greater energy efficiency in buildings. Our energy service company and energy auditors accreditation schemes are designed to build trust and make the process smoother for accredited entities and their clients. Energy Auditors and ESCOs help building owners identify how they can improve energy use and deliver the savings identified. Energy efficiency can be improved if there is information available on the performance of buildings and they are audited for ways to improve energy use. Regulation has a role to play here, too. Dubai’s energy strategy looks to increase the share of District Cooling from under 20% currently to 40% by 2030. This will need regulation to ensure it is adopted where it is the most efficient solution and that customers benefit from high-quality service and competitive prices.
