Middle East Construction & Real Estate Podcast

What would you say if I told you that 40% of the world's annual carbon emissions originate from the built environment? Shocking, isn't it? In our latest conversation with Louise Collins, JLL's Regional Director of Energy and Engineering, we take an enlightening journey into the heart of the construction and real estate industry, examining its monumental role in responding to climate change. We delve into the intricate relationship between the concepts of net zero, decarbonisation, and sustainability and how they pertain to the built environment. Louise unveils the possibilities of designing and constructing buildings that are not only low in operation but are also high in maximizing and offsetting renewables.
This episode is more than an enlightening talk – it's a call to action for real estate developers and occupiers. Have you ever considered how your building can contribute to sustainability? We discuss the transformative potential of energy-efficient technology, smart building tech, and life cycle assessments, and how they can dramatically reduce environmental impact and help save money. We then explore the potential impact of government regulations and incentives on businesses following COP 28. By the end of this episode, you'll see the construction and real estate industry through a fresh lens of sustainability and net zero goals.
