Dubai, UAE, 20 Feb
2023:
Facilio, a leader in the property operations & maintenance software space, today
announced its agreement with Dubai World Trade Centre’s One Central, an award-winning,
Grade-A commercial development, to optimize energy consumption & reduce carbon emissions
using a software-led approach.
One Central,
which is built to LEED Gold standards and is a key part of the iconic skyline of Dubai’s
Central Business District, is committed to aid the government’s efforts in consolidating
the foundations for a low-carbon economy and achieving the UAE's 'Net Zero by 2050'
vision. To align with this goal, One Central has chosen Facilio's IoT-led Connected
Buildings solution which uses AI and machine learning to analyze and benchmark building
performance data in real-time. One Central's team of energy
experts will use these insights to develop and implement strategies for reducing energy
consumption and utility costs.
"We are delighted to be chosen by such a team of visionaries to be their technology
partner in achieving their sustainability goals,” said Prabhu
Ramachandran, CEO of Facilio. "One Central's commitment to sustainability
aligns

construction
has been a top priority for us right from the start. DWTC supports the UAE’s
