January 24, 2008
Energy Management Services (EMS), the leading energy management and conservation company in the Middle East, has recently announced that it is poised to boost its ability to support the environmental-compliance initiatives of various high-stakes developments in Jordan by leveraging its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification service, which is the only one of its kind in the country.
EMS is the only firm in Jordan whose engineers are fully certified by LEED and authorised to verify 'green building' compliance of construction projects, including those of renowned developers such as Emaar Dubai, UP and Escan. With its expertise and in-depth knowledge in energy management solutions, EMS has also been successful in helping new construction projects and existing buildings across Jordan realise the full economic and strategic benefits of the 'green building' concept.
"We are seeing very encouraging progress in Jordan's initiatives towards environmental compliance. Persistent challenges related to preservation of energy and water resources are fast emerging as among the biggest obstacles to the country's development, particularly in the rapidly expanding construction sector, and EMS is pleased to extend critical support during this critical stage of transition," said Khaled Bushnaq, Managing Director, EMS.
"EMS has pooled together a highly dedicated team of specially trained engineers who are also widely familiar with the specific requirements of the country's construction industry. Our LEED-certified engineers have facilitated green building compliance of various projects across the country and we are poised to be engaged in an even greater number of high-stakes developments this year," added Bushnaq.
EMS has been initiating groundbreaking projects in Jordan that leverage the cost-effective and energy-saving qualities of the 'green concept'. In one of the major breakthroughs in the country, EMS has recently partnered with the Al-Mushatta Industrial City in Jordan to deliver 'green' solutions to the industrial hub and make it the Middle East's first 'Green Industrial City'.
Under the program, Al-Mushatta will adopt comprehensive energy-saving and environmental solutions developed by EMS that will help improve the industrial city's reputation in the global market. Moreover, the cost-effective benefits provided by the city will be a key attraction to international investors.
"In nearly two decades of being an industry leader in the region, EMS has helped organisations create customised water, energy and environmental programs that have delivered millions of dollars in savings. This is a clear indication that sustainable development is the trend of the future, and EMS will continue to play a major role in helping the region achieve sustainability," said Bushnaq.
Established in 1991, EMS has been involved in designing, implementing and investing in cost-effective energy projects for industrial, commercial and institutional customers, providing engineering and technical know-how to obtain optimum results. EMS, a co-founder of the Emirates Green Building Council, has invested heavily in state-of-the-art technologies and equipment, and boasts a highly competent team of engineers, who are all members of the Association of Energy Engineers.
