There is an increasing determination in the UAE to reduce CO2 emissions as part of the global effort to reduce greenhouse gases and mitigate the effects of global warming.
The focus until now has been on regulations for new buildings. As a young country, compulsory building regulations relating to energy savings and conservation were only introduced in the past decade (2003 in Dubai and 2007 in Abu Dhabi).
This means that even if all new buildings were to adhere to significantly high energy conservation standards, the UAE would still have a large stock of buildings, some just completed, which have excessive cooling loads and thus are not environmentally friendly.
The UAE has one of the highest electricity consumptions per capita in the world. This reflects negatively on the CO2 emissions as the UAE has the 2nd highest CO2 emissions per capita in the world. If the UAE is to significantly reduce its CO2 footprint, the energy inefficiencies in the existing building stock needs to be addressed.
It was found that buildings constructed pre-2003 did not have to adhere to any such regulations in both the emirates of Dubai and Sharjah. In Abu Dhabi, thermal insulation requirements were only introduce in 2011.
There are no thermal insulation requirements in the other four emirates or the federal institutions.
The amount of carbon di oxide is increasing day by day in uae as co2 is a green house gas and it is a main reason for global warming in the country
