Senior Delegation from the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure Visit Schneider Electric’s Impact Building ‘The NEST’ in Dubai

HE Eng. Sharif Al Olama, Undersecretary for Energy and Petroleum Affairs in the UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, along with a senior delegation from the Ministry, visited Schneider Electric’s Dubai office and flagship Impact Building globally, The NEST. Amel Chadli, President of Gulf Countries and members of the Gulf leadership team from Schneider Electric accompanied the visitors on a guided tour of the climate innovations and energy automation solutions showcased at The NEST, a living prototype of how offices can be climate-resilient, digitally intelligent, and emotionally attuned to the people who inhabit them.

The NEST is a recipient of the SmartScore Platinum Certificate for Smart building performance and digital infrastructure, as well as more recently, the LEED ID + C Platinum Certificate for interior sustainability and energy efficiency and the WELL Equity Certification for Health, inclusivity, and occupant well-being. Schneider Electric’s Dubai office hosts an Innovation Hub exemplifying the company’s leadership as an energy technology partner driving efficiency and sustainability by electrifying, automating, and digitalizing industries, businesses, and homes.

Offsetting 572 metric tons of CO₂ annually, the equivalent of taking 120+ cars off the road, The NEST achieves 37% reduction in energy consumption compared to conventional buildings, a crucial win for Dubai, where cooling to overcome extreme temperatures, can consume up to 70% of building energy.
