Posted by | Nov 18, 2007 | |

EMS solutions are designed to improve air and water quality, reduce waste streams, conserve natural resources and promote energy efficiency by measuring and verifying energy system performance and ensuring a rigid compliance with regulations. This will be achieved through optimising system design, introducing energy control systems, analysing energy bills, managing utilities, optimising energy saving equipment and recommending alternative energy sources.
Emirates Post has recently awarded a contract to Energy Management Services (EMS), one of the leading energy management and conservation companies in the Middle East, to implement ‘green building’ solutions at the postal company’s existing and new offices currently under construction. The move will make Emirates Post the first federal corporation to commence the process of achieving LEED certification, by adhering to the international rating system and standards for environmentally sustainable construction.

Under the terms of the agreement, EMS will systematically evaluate Emirates Post’s new and existing offices through an Energy Efficient Architecture (EEA) analysis, aimed at reducing energy usage and lowering costs. By incorporating the eco-friendly measures, Emirates Post offices will minimise environmental impact, protect the health of its occupants and utilise resources more effectively.
Additional services offered by EMS include Energy Value Analysis (EVA), renewable energy solutions, and energy saving equipment and water management techniques.
