MAFT2 is an office building that houses some of the major corporate offices of THE GROUP. It covers a total area of 11,766 square meters and stands 10 stories high which comprises of main reception, the exhibition area, numerous training facilities and a retail coffee outlet, the data center, an open office spaces, and several luxurious meeting and conference rooms. The Tower is owned by the Group and is located at 8th Street, Deira, Near Deira City Centre - Dubai - United Arab Emirates. Few of the facility team members have successfully completed the LEED Green Associate Exam.
The MAFT2   building was certified in 2014 under LEED Gold Certification by using LEED v2009 for Existing Building Operations and Maintenance. The LEED certification expires after 5 years and the building has to undergo LEED recertification. GE3S was appointed as LEED consultant in 2017 and we were involved in the process of LEED Recertification. We have a team of consultants that have passed LEED green associate exam.
GE3S conducted energy audit as part of LEED certification to comply with requirements of Energy & Atmosphere credits such as Pre-requisite 1: Energy Efficient Best Management Practices & EAc2.1: Existing Building Commissioning - Investigation and Analysis. This audit is a contractual commitment to provide an ASHRAE Level 2 energy audit making use of all collected data for recommending Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) and providing accurate savings calculations. ASHRAE Level 2 energy audit includes detailed building survey, Breakdown of energy users, Identification and quantification from energy savings measures with savings, proposed changes to operation and maintenance procedures. This audit was lead by our team member who has completed LEED Green Associate Exam successfully.


GE3S advised  MAFT2  facility team building during LEED recertification by advising them to use roofing materials with a solar reflectance index (SRI) equal to or greater than 78, procurement of materials which complies with the requirement. GE3S also ensured solid waste management practices were implemented such as collection, sorting, diversion, and disposal of ongoing consumables, durable goods, recycling of all mercury-containing lamps and building materials. GE3S also checked whether the outdoor air ventilation rate is maintained as required by ASHRAE Standard 62.1–2007 ventilation rate procedure and also checked the filters used complies minimum efficiency reporting value (MERV) of 13. These strategies were suggested and implemented by our team members who have passed the leed green associate exam.
The  MAFT2  achieved LEED Platinum Certification by using LEED v2009 for Existing Building Operations and Maintenance, which is better than the previous LEED Gold certification in 2014 with the 67 points and now it has achieved LEED platinum certification with 83 Points. We also got innovation in operations points for  MAFT2    by conducting Educational Program: “Know your  MAFT2   ”, Guided Tour. GE3S's and the clients team with leed green associate exam qualified professionals worked tirelessly to make this happen.
