  His Excellency Saeed Mohammed Al -Tayyar, M .D.,
• 0:04
  and CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority,
• 0:08
  Diwa, received Mohammed Jamil Al -Ramahi, CEO
• 0:13
  of Masdar, Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company, and
• 0:18
  his delegation at Al -Sharah, Diwa's new headquarters
• 0:22
  in Al -Jaddaf. The iconic landmark is the world's
• 0:26
  tallest, largest, and smartest net positive government
• 0:30
  building. That visit highlighted the significance
• 0:34
  of Al -Sharah as a major achievement in sustainable
• 0:37
  development. The Mazdar delegation toured the
• 0:41
  building and reviewed Diwa's key global performance
• 0:43
  indicators, as well as the building's advanced
• 0:46
  features. What makes Al -Sharah particularly
• 0:50
  important is its innovative concept for sustainable
• 0:53
  buildings. It integrates smart solutions within
• 0:57
  a comprehensive cognitive system that can sense,
• 1:01
  analyze, and respond. This is why it is positioned
• 1:05
  as the world's smartest government building,
• 1:08
  enabled by the Internet of Things, big data analytics,
• 1:12
  and artificial intelligence. The scale of the
• 1:16
  integrated system is remarkable. More than 110
• 1:20
  ,000 smart sensors monitor environmental and
• 1:23
  operational data in real time. These are supported
• 1:27
  by over 1 ,500 wireless access points and more
• 1:31
  than 3 ,200 network devices working together
• 1:34
  in full coordination. In addition, these systems
• 1:39
  generate more than 1 .9 million automated control
• 1:42
  commands every day. That level of automation
• 1:46
  strengthens operational alignment and significantly
• 1:50
  improves performance efficiency. Al -Sharah is
• 1:54
  also designed to set a new global benchmark for
• 1:57
  net positive buildings, meaning it produces more
• 2:00
  clean energy than it consumes. At the same time,
• 2:03
  it provides a smart and sustainable work environment
• 2:06
  with people at the center. This directly supports
• 2:10
  the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050. and the
• 2:14
  Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050
• 2:18
  through better resource efficiency, lower emissions,
• 2:22
  and faster progress toward a green, innovation
• 2:25
  -led economy. The building consists of 19 floors,
• 2:30
  in addition to a ground floor and basement, with
• 2:33
  a built -up area of more than 2 million square
• 2:36
  feet. It was designed to achieve LEED Platinum
• 2:39
  certification and Well Gold certification. Overall,
• 2:43
  Al -Sharah stands as a global model for future
• 2:47
  buildings by combining artificial intelligence,
• 2:49
  sustainability, resource efficiency, and quality
• 2:53
  of life.
