A significant step has been taken to address Pakistan’s energy crisis, with the Association of Builders and Developers Pakistan (ABAD) and the National Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (NEECA) holding a productive meeting to discuss the implementation of the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) in upcoming construction projects.
The two organizations also expressed their commitment to making ABAD House a model of energy savings. ABAD Chairman Muhammad Hasan Bakshi emphasized that this initiative would set a new standard for construction projects, helping not only to tackle the energy crisis but also to combat climate change in Pakistan. He stated that the collaboration between ABAD and NEECA would encourage the widespread adoption of energy-efficient designs and technologies, improving the standards of builders, developers, and architects across Pakistan.
The meeting was attended by NEECA MD Sardar Muazzam, ABAD Senior Vice Chairman Syed Afzal Hameed, Vice Chairman Tariq Aziz, and senior ABAD members Yunus Lakhani and Afaan Qureshi.
Bakshi further added that the implementation of the ECBC would stimulate investment in the construction sector, which plays a pivotal role in Pakistan’s economic development. Chairman ABAD concluded by noting that the partnership between ABAD and NEECA marks a step toward a greener and more sustainable future for the country.
