Education
Education is the fundamental right of every single child on the planet. Whether living in the upscale neighbourhoods of Palm Jumeirah or in the rural villages of the African Wild Coast, we believe that every child should receive an equal learning opportunity to create a brighter future for themselves.
Now, the key to effective education is a serene, comfortable, interactive ambience that generates a wholesome learning experience and motivates students to come to school every single day.

Lessons of Environment Education in real-time at New Indian Model School (NIMS), Dubai
A robust edifice, an energy-efficient building, a continuous supply of pure drinking water and clean utility water, and utilitarian HVAC systems to maintain a constant air envelope in all the areas of the school are just some of the key requirements of every school. However, NIMS, Dubai needed a solution over and above conventional fixes to reduce their carbon footprint.
As a part of their sustainability measures, we installed a solar PV rooftop covering 14,330 sq. m. of Block 6 Roof Area that led to a power generation of 23.60 MWh in just one quarter and estimated savings in operational costs of 60,000 AED per annum!
The intent of an educational facility is not to conduct rote lessons, but instead, impart core life-skills to the young minds that will shape our future. To this end, the minimum requirement of a place where students spend the maximum part of their day is a comfortable, safe, secure, well-illuminated, accessible, well-ventilated, and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere, which contributes to the holistic growth of children.
