Program (2) : Building Retrofits Mission Leading the execution of building retrofits in public sector. Increasing penetration of district cooling. Building capacity of local ESCO’s. Facilitating access to financing for local ESCO’s.

Program (2) : Building Retrofits Insulation Of Existing

Program (3) : District Cooling

Program (3) : District Cooling 2011 2030 Increasing district cooling penetration from 20% of Dubai’s cooling capacity in 2011 to 40% in 2030.

Program (4) : Energy Labeling for Appliances and Equipment ENERGY Labeling System is way to reduce the use of energy caused by the inefficient use of energy by products and equipments Labeling of Air Conditioners, Lamps, Large appliances, water haters, electronics, electric motors, water fixtures

Program (5) : Water Reuse and Efficient Irrigation Irrigation water use shall be reduced through promoting efficient landscaping practices and irrigation technologies as well an maximizing the use of Treated Sewage Effluent (TSE). All public areas shall use TSE for landscaping purposes, with remaining TSE capacity to be used by industry The objective is to ensure that 80% of Dubai’s green areas are efficiently irrigated and all public areas use treated sewage effluent with extra capacity for other uses by 2030.

Program (6) : Outdoor Lighting Reduced power use in outdoor lighting shall be achieved by using more, efficient lighting fixture and expanding the ongoing switch-off initiative for street lights. The objective is to implement switch-off program for 30% of residential streets and retrofits of 75% of existing lights by 2030.
