Dubai, UAE (PRWEB) November 13, 2008 -- Renaissance Lighting, a USA-based pioneering innovator of solid-state LED architectural lighting and it's UAE Regional Distribution Partners, Victory Technologies International and Stellatek Solutions, in association with the Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT) Centre of Engineering Excellence in Dubai, has announced plans for "Lighting the Way to a Green Dubai," a thought-provoking series of environmentally oriented presentations to address the pressing global need to develop and commercialize Green Technologies.
This special event, which will focus attention on the environmentally driven vision of the Dubai Government and directed by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, including adoption of a national LEED green building standards policy, will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, November 16, at the Dubai Men's College, Dubai Academic City.
"Our goal in partnering with the HCT Centre of Engineering Excellence is to bring together in one room the best environmental thinking," said Renaissance Lighting CEO, Barry Weinbaum. "The future depends on our collective ability to shrink the global carbon footprint. By linking academia and industry, we believe that 'Lighting the Way to a Green Dubai' is the perfect forum for identifying innovative, environmentally friendly approaches and supporting the objectives of visionary government leaders," Weinbaum said.
This special event is the first joint initiative under a recently established relationship between Renaissance Lighting and the HCT Centre of Engineering Excellence, supporting on-going green-technology knowledge transfer between Renaissance Lighting and the colleges' students and faculty.
"The landscape of Dubai is changing forever and these changes must take place with global responsibility in mind," said Dr. Bob Richards, Senior Director-Dubai Men's College. "Sustainability is key to the future of Dubai and the UAE. New approaches to sustainability including solid-state lighting, offer great direction in the global demand for ecologically friendly technology."
Leading the list of dignitaries for "Lighting the Way to a Green Dubai" is the Guest of Honor, HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority.
Featured speakers will include Habiba Al Marashi, Chairperson of the Emirates Environmental Group and Board Member, UN Global Compact; Dan Savage, Design Manager-Above Ground Stations, Dubai Metro, Atkins; Ali bin Towaih, Chairman of the Emirates Green Building Council, and executives from Renaissance Lighting.
A founding member of the Emirates Environmental Group (EEG), Mrs. Marashi's presentation will outline the EEG's initiative to plant one million trees in the U.A.E. The EEG, founded in 1991 with a focus on the environment and education, is a voluntary, non-profit, private organization open to all nationalities and ages. Mrs. Al Marashi is also a founder member of Emirates Green Building Council and a Board Member of the UN Global Compact.
