The Swiss International Scientific School in Dubai (SISD), which opened for this academic year, is the Middle East's first low-energy building in the education space, consuming one-third of the energy of standard buildings across the region.
The school, which received the region's first Minergie Certificate, is a breakthrough in the creation of sustainable standards. Swiss Minergie label, which awards low-energy buildings, is thought to substantially improve the comfort and productivity of occupants at commercially viable costs compared to traditional construction techniques.
The energy cost reduction will be translated into savings that will fund academic scholarships on offer to students within the second year of operation. "It's not just a label, it is embedded in the walls of the school and in our philosophy," SISD founder Omar Danial said.
