Leading UAE-based smart and green facilities management company Farnek said it has been granted full accreditation as an energy services company (Esco) by Dubai’s Regulatory & Supervisory Bureau (RSB).

 

The RSB was established in 2010 and works under the auspices of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, developing and administering frameworks to encourage greater energy efficiency in buildings. 

 

The Esco accreditation scheme is designed to build trust and make the process smoother for accredited entities and their clients. 

 

Previously an accredited energy auditor with RSB, Farnek was given full Esco accreditation due to its proven track record of Energy Performance Contract (EPC) projects in the UAE.

 

"This is a very timely achievement, with COP28 almost upon us. Our accreditation is a result of the successful implementation of various Esco projects, which have so far generated millions of kWh savings in electricity consumption," said Muna Al Nahdi, Head of Sustainability & Consultancy, Farnek. 

 

Escos help building owners identify how they can improve energy use and deliver the savings identified. Energy efficiency can only be improved if there is information available on the performance of buildings and they are audited for ways to improve energy use. 

 

"Obtaining full accreditation serves as a testament to our commitment to continuous improvement and alignment with evolving international standards and best practices and our ethical conduct, delivering high-quality energy efficiency solutions," she stated.

 

For more than two decades, Farnek has been at the forefront of providing energy management services, with a cost-efficient, integrated and data-driven approach. 

 

"And in line with the UAE's net-zero commitment, Farnek is also committed to promoting, investing and implementing sustainable solutions throughout its own operations," she added.-TradeArabia News Service
