Ali Al Jassim, CEO, Etihad ESCO, said: “As strategic partners at the ninth MEFMA CONFEX, we were able to showcase our successful retrofit projects and the energy savings achieved through them before the region’s FM sector. The role they play in the achievement of the Dubai Overall Energy Reduction targets that seek to save 30% energy by 2030 make them even more relevant. By demonstrating our successes at the event, we hope that we were able to inspire many more public and private entities to follow suit in the adoption of energy saving measures.”
