Smart Green Buildings
The Smart Green Buildings initiative optimizes the consumption of resources in buildings through continuous smart management of energy, light, air and water. By leveraging automation, intelligent sensors and analytics, Smart Green Buildings continuously reduce operating costs while ensuring the comfort and safety of occupants. Since buildings in Al Madinah city are not fitted with such smart management systems, water and energy are inefficiently consumed, leading to increased operating costs, faster depletion of the city’s natural resources, and increased environmental impact. As such, it is crucial for Al Madinah city to leverage smart green buildings and regulate the use of these technologies in buildings and grant the city with better control of its resources and reduction of their consumption.
