Doha: Qatar is advancing towards its sustainable goals, further enhancing its facilities management (FM) market by aligning its aim with the national strategic vision 2030.
Industry leaders noted that the country is embarking on its role by ensuring the facilities run efficiently, during the Middle East Facilities Management (MEFMA) event, held yesterday.
Saleem Al Awi, Reliance Group Manager at Qatar Foundation said: “Sustainability and city management are basically one. We are working closely with teams including many precision management professionals and are actually transitioning into the facility through colleagues from university-certified energy professionals. And so that tells you the trend that the facility management industry is shifting.”
Elucidating on the pivotal role of smart meters in advancing sustainable energy management practices, he said “Qatar Foundation took sustainability and facility management seriously so we have taken steps to ensure that our facilities are run efficiently. Therefore, when we want to initiate our programs for safety management, we recommend sustainability with the basics.”
Smart meters are not very essential for energy management, said Al Awi. However, they are critical when it comes to attaining sustainable goals.
