Season 1 Episode 9
In this episode of the Green Minds Podcast, Walewein Lichtenauer welcomes Abdullatif Albitawi (BSc, MSc, MEI, SFIIRSM, PA-CEMP), CEO of the Emirates Green Building Council and one of Jordan’s first qualified energy engineers.
With over 22 years’ leadership in pharmaceuticals, chemical manufacturing and sustainability, Abdullatif shares how an organic, stakeholder-led approach—beyond mere regulation—can reshape our built environment.
We dive deep into:
– The UAE’s multi-billion-dollar clean-energy investments on the path to net zero by 2050
– Why regulation alone won’t drive real change
– Retrofitting existing buildings: overcoming challenges and unlocking ROI through sustainable upgrades
– Advanced process technology, energy management and risk-based safety transforming green building practices
Whether you’re an FM professional, developer, or sustainability advocate, this conversation offers actionable strategies for championing clean energy, retrofitting, and net-zero ambitions across the Middle East.
