Wishing all our friends, clients and colleagues a joyful holiday season and a happy New Year!✨ As we reflect on what has been an incredible year, we are excited to see what 2025 has in store. See you all in January!

Digital twins are not just isolated solutions; they are crucial tools for developing resilient and sustainable environments that improve occupant experiences while supporting important environmental objectives. Our Domain Expert, Amr Al Yafi, showcases how our solution, PARA OS, facilitates precise monitoring, maintenance, and optimisation. As a result, we achieved significant reductions in energy consumption of up to 28%, improved air quality, enhanced asset reliability, and strengthened sustainability at a 47,000m2 commercial office building.

The facilities management sector is experiencing a remarkable digital transformation. The integration of advanced technologies—from artificial intelligence to digital twin technology—is crucial for enhancing the efficiency, resilience, and sustainability of our buildings and infrastructure. Tomorrow, November 27, Faysal Shair, our Director of Digital Solutions, will speak at the IFMA Global Middle East Summit, discussing AI-powered fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) and the potential of predictive maintenance and anomaly detection.

The global facilities management sector is undergoing an exceptional digital transformation. Integrating technology – from artificial intelligence (AI) to digital twin technology and other digital solutions – has become essential in making existing buildings and civil infrastructure more efficient, resilient, and sustainable. On November 27 at the IFMA Global Middle East Summit, Dar’s Director of Digital Solutions Faysal Shair will deliver a presentation on AI-powered fault detection and diagnostics (FDD), discussing predictive maintenance and other anomaly detection applications of AI in FDD, and the value it could add to stakeholders across the region.

Embracing an innovative, data-driven approach to sustainability is not a nice to have; it is essential. Last week, our Director of Digital Solutions, Faysal Shair, shared insights at the World Green Building Council in Cairo on how digital twin technology and building analytics can transform building lifecycle performance, helping us reach net-zero targets. As #COP29 and important climate discussions continue this week, here are some of our key takeaways: 💡 80% of buildings which will be occupied in 2050 already exist, so decarbonising existing stock is a priority. 💡A solid decarbonisation strategy and road map is key to success. 💡 Predictive maintenance can be transformative for eliminating unnecessary waste. 💡 By navigating the complexities of your emissions, you can leverage your data to understand the actions needed for success.

As COP29 Azerbaijan gets underway in #Baku, we reflect on the scale of the challenge we face and the importance of new solutions if we are to solve the climate crisis. With the window of opportunity for change steadily closing, there is too little time left to rely on the same old thinking, or looking at individual solutions in isolation – we need to think bigger, we need to think bolder. This week Sidara will be at COP29 Azerbaijan, hosting a panel discussion focused on the innovative tools and new solutions needed to decarbonize the built environment and turn the tide on #GlobalWarming Find out more about what we are doing at COP here ➡ https://lnkd.in/es8kxqWB Balsam Nehme Faysal Shair Adam Mactavish Louise Hamot Peter O'Sullivan Kathy Wardle Catherine Tobiasinsky Dar Perkins&Will Introba Currie & Brown Penspen TYLin PARA Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC) C40 Cities Solar Impulse Foundation #COP29 #ClimateAction #Sustainability #NetZero #ClimateJustice #GreenFuture #ClimateSolutions #COP29ImpactMakers #BuildingsCoolingPavilion #BuildForClimate #ActOnCooling

On the sidelines of WUF12, Dar is joining the World Green Building Council for a series of side events. Today, our Director of Digital Solutions Faysal Shair will discuss the role of digital twin technology in optimising building lifecycle performance and achieving net-zero targets. Meanwhile, our planning and urban design teams are in Hall 4 of the Egypt International Exhibition Centre, where exceptional urban planning conversations are taking place within WUF12. Join us to discover more about the future of planning for more sustainable cities and communities. Discover more: https://rebrand.ly/ovq1zz2

We had a fantastic time as gold sponsors at this year's 3rd annual Kingdom Digital Twin Conference 2024 in Riyadh! We showcased the PARA platform, demonstrating how we bring data visualisation and clarity for asset owners and tenants to make informed decisions and create efficient, sustainable, and resilient building portfolios. We also shared our experiences and learnings on how data-driven decision-making can transform conventional facilities management. An overall inspiring day learning about the great developments in digital twin technology, sharing best practices, and participating in engaging discussions with like-minded individuals who share our commitment to smart, innovative solutions for the built environment💡 Thanks to Saifee Events for a great event! #InnovationThatEmpowers #digitaltwin Majdi Saadeddine Faysal Shair Issam Steitieh Sahar Qarem

Our technical operations manager, Majdi, will be speaking at the 3rd edition of Buildings and RetrofitTech Summit Qatar, taking place next week on the 23 – 24 September at the Hilton Doha. We look forward to diving into how data-driven decision-making can enhance and optimise building operations and maintenance for facility managers.  We hope to see you there!   https://lnkd.in/dTEZVzyY #InnovationThatEmpowers acm - Advanced Conferences & Meetings Majdi Saadeddine
