Only 141* buildings in the UAE have achieved Platinum status, the highest level of recognition under the global Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirates Electrical Engineering<\/a><\/strong> (EEE), a member of Al Rostamani Group, founded by Abdulla Hassan Al Rostamani in the early 1950s and a key contributor to the UAE\u2019s power infrastructure, has been awarded the LEED Platinum Certification (LEED v4 ID+C Platinum<\/em>) for the sustainable design of its new, energy-efficient headquarters at Al Waha Complex, placing it among a select group of LEED Platinum-certified buildings in the UAE, including landmarks such as the Burj Khalifa and Mall of the Emirates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new headquarters serves as a live demonstration of EEE\u2019s in-house capabilities in delivering integrated sustainable energy solutions. By completing all design, engineering, and implementation internally, EEE has set a practical example for other businesses looking to reduce their energy footprint. The company now aims to extend these services to clients seeking to enhance operational efficiency and align with the UAE\u2019s Green Agenda 2030 and Net Zero by 2050 objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LEED is the world\u2019s most widely used green building rating system, distinguished by its rigorous benchmarks in energy efficiency, water conservation, and indoor environmental quality. There are 713**<\/strong> LEED-certified buildings across the UAE at various levels, with a growing number of applications driven by the country\u2019s sustainability goals, regulatory frameworks, and market demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al Waha Complex stood out during the LEED Platinum certification process for its zero-waste transition and exceptional performance in the Energy and Atmosphere category, earning the full 36 points, which is a rare achievement for a retrofitted building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
