RAK Paints’ supports green building construction

Green Building and Sustainable Design:

Green building is a method of designing and constructing a building that minimizes adverse impact  on our natural resources and environment. Sustainable design brings a practical view to design and construction of “building with an ecologically sustainable focus”. This not only considers the building’s performance, but also the materials used .In addition to increasing energy and water efficiency; sustainable buildings reduce pollution, alleviate strain on utility infrastructure, conserve fuel systems and elevate occupants comforts, productivity and health. In essence, this includes designing and constructing a building with energy and water efficiency in mind, as well as minimizing any adverse impact of the building on its inhabitants as well as the environment.

RAK Paints’ Response in support to Green Building Construction

As a responsible global leader in the ceramic industry, protection and preservation of the environment is a top priority for RAK Paints‘. We believe the long-term success of the company depends on the satisfaction of its customers and the stakeholder’s commitment in environmental friendly and sustainable operations. Protection of the environment, reducing climate change and emissions and minimizing ecological impact are the main reasons of RAK Paints  in supporting and getting involved in the Green Building Construction. As testimony, the company invested on mechanisms that reduce the adverse impact of the company’s operations and products, to the natural resources and environment.

Two of the noble reasons for promoting the use RAK Paints’ for wall, wood and metal furniture finishing are ”achieving lower operating lifecycle costs” for building and “creating a healthy indoor environment” for humans. The cost involvement for the maintenance of RAK Paints‘is less and the life cycle is longer than other fit-outs.  As well, international research has clearly shown that green building fit-outs are not just better for the environment but more importantly, they are better for the health and productivity of those who live or work in them. Poor indoor air quality and toxic fumes from a range of building materials including paints, wood products and carpets contribute to poor health and productivity in office workers. RAK Paints’ promotes products that will provide healthier indoor environment and more productive workplaces which also have less negative impact on the environment.
