ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO ECOSMART IN THE EMIRATES (ACEE)

The Advisory Committee to EcoSmart in the Emirates (ACEE) is now well established. Several committee meetings have been held since September 2007.

The ACEE will work with the EcoSmart management team to help introduce EcoSmart Concrete to the UAE construction industry. The ACEE will review and, where appropriate, recommend changes and additions to all aspects of EcoSmart’s program in the UAE.

The short-term objective is to prepare one or more demonstration projects of the use of EcoSmart Concrete in the UAE. The longer term objective is ensure that EcoSmart Concrete – drawing in part on the demonstration projects – is widely accepted and used in the UAE and in surrounding regions, and that the infrastructure is in place to ensure a consistent, high quality, low cost supply in the UAE of supplementary cementing materials (SCMs), especially fly ash.

The ACEE is comprised of experts from key companies and organizations relating to the construction industry in the UAE. Their participation in the project will do much to further both EcoSmart Concrete and green building in the region.

 

The proven success of EcoSmart Concrete is being brought to the UAE by EcoSmart through the support of the Government of Canada and in collaboration with leading research, design and construction companies.
