ETA Star inks energy co-op deal

Dubai, September 7, 2008

ETA Star International has signed an agreement with India-based The Energy Research Institute (Teri) to explore areas of co-operation in an effort towards sustainable development.

The deal pertains to co-operation between ETA Star International and Teri in a number of areas including the assessment of buildings to get them Leed-certified in basic, silver, gold and platinum ratings, said a Gulf News report.

The agreement was signed recently in Dubai by Hamed Salah Al Deen, director of the ETA Ascon Star Group, and Dr Rajendra K. Pachauri, Teri director-general and chairman of the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change, a scientific body set up by the World Meteorological Organisation and the United Nations Environment Programme.

The agreement enables ETA Star International to provide these services to other organisations in the UAE and Gulf region.

The other areas of co-operation include conducting environmental impact studies, energy audits of commercial, residential and industrial units, Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) studies and reducing carbon footprint in the UAE.
