UAE Media Council Building Receives “Humanization of Buildings” Certification

In a pioneering step towards enhancing quality of life, the UAE Media Council building in Abu Dhabi and Dubai has received the “Humanization of Buildings” certification, becoming the first in the country to adopt this innovative classification. This distinguished certification was awarded by the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure after the building met all the requirements of the new national standards aimed at creating a healthy and sustainable work environment, highlighting the importance of “humanizing buildings” as a radical transformation in urban space design.

Certificate Presentation and the Importance of Standards

The “Humanization of Buildings” certificate was presented by the Undersecretary for Infrastructure and Transport, Eng. Hassan Mohammed Jumaa Al Mansoori, to the Secretary-General of the UAE Media Council, Mohammed Saeed Al Shahi, in the presence of several officials. This remarkable achievement reflects the government’s commitment to implementing modern standards that contribute to designing buildings that better meet individual needs.

New Standards Focused on Humans

These pioneering standards were established based on the best international practices concerned with designing human-friendly buildings, focusing on the health and psychological and physical comfort of users. These standards are the first of their kind in the region, making the “Humanization of Buildings” project an important reference for many future projects.

Council’s Commitment to UAE Vision 2031

In his remarks, Al Shahi expressed pride in the UAE Media Council being the first entity in the Emirates to receive the “Humanization of Buildings” certification, noting that this achievement reflects the council’s commitment to the vision of wise leadership that prioritizes human interests and places them at the forefront of the development process.
