About Dubai Green Building Code
The Dubai Building Code (DBC), issued in 2020, integrates green building standards into a single comprehensive regulatory framework, ensuring that all new buildings meet sustainability and efficiency requirements. By embedding sustainability into the construction sector, the DBC directly supports the UAE Net Zero 2050 initiative, which commits the nation to achieving carbon neutrality by mid-century through energy efficiency, reduced emissions, and sustainable urban development.
