Green building regulation in the pipeline for Oman

Muscat Daily 05 October 2016 Oman Middle East

The Supreme Council for Planning has formed a committee to develop a comprehensive green design code for Oman in the context of a unified GCC Building Code. It has said that energy saving and sustainability measures for the entire construction industry should be implemented.

Speaking on the sidelines of an architectural lecture at the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque recently, a construction industry pundit said, “The new regulations, which are in the pipeline will no doubt have a major impact on the industry. Some technology and materials may become obsolete, while businesses offering eco solutions are jostling for position in anticipation of the changes.”
