The solar project installation on the HQ building is serving as a case study. Where the outcomes will be utilized to fit various clients’ portfolios, thus serving as a preliminary road map for all districts. Ultimately the strategy developed will aid in achieving Dubai South's sustainability objectives by utilizing the comprehension that this project brought to the table, all the while making sure that the shift to renewable energy is compliant with regulations, budgetary constraints, and technical specifications.
