Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) is proud to announce the completion of its Warsan accommodation complex, the first multifamily residential project globally to achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum certification. This landmark achievement underscores DEWA’s commitment to sustainability and innovation in the residential sector, setting a new standard for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly living in Dubai.
LEED is the most widely recognized green building rating system in the world, providing a framework for designing, constructing, and operating buildings that are healthy, efficient, and cost-effective. LEED Platinum certification signifies that the Warsan complex exceeds rigorous benchmarks for sustainability performance.
The Warsan development exemplifies forward-thinking design principles that optimize energy and water consumption. The complex incorporates features such as high-performance insulation materials, energy-efficient lighting and appliances, and water-saving plumbing fixtures. Additionally, the project harnesses renewable energy through a rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system, further reducing its environmental footprint.
DEWA’s Warsan complex goes beyond just incorporating sustainable technologies. The design fosters a healthy and comfortable living environment for residents. The use of natural daylighting and ventilation strategies creates a more pleasant and productive living space. The complex also features amenities that encourage an active lifestyle, including walking paths, fitness areas, and green spaces.
This pioneering project by DEWA serves as a model for future multifamily developments in Dubai and around the world. It demonstrates that achieving sustainability goals can go hand-in-hand with delivering high-quality living spaces. The Warsan complex is a testament to DEWA’s dedication to environmental stewardship and its commitment to shaping a sustainable future for Dubai.
