Dubai is endeavoring to be the first country in the Middle East to implement “Green Buildings” starting as early as 2008. The standards to be implemented will call for environment friendly construction and building design for all new projects from 2008. The move for existing buildings hasn’t been defined yet, however the removal of hazards from these buildings will be a priority. Gulfnews reported today:

All buildings in Dubai will have to be constructed as per environment-friendly “green building” standards from January, His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE, has instructed in his capacity as the Ruler of Dubai.

Owners of residential, commercial and other buildings will have to implement the decision according to the highest international standards that are suitable for Dubai, to maintain a healthy city that follows the global benchmarks in sustainable development and clean environment.
