Keeping the environment in mind is very important during construction in Oman today. Every aspect that helps in being environmentally friendly in construction is resorted to. Efficient electro-mechanical systems can play a large role in helping add on to sustainable development in construction industry. Direct Services LLC, a leading electromechanical, MEP and construction company in Oman, is playing a singular role in this area by offering environmentally friendly electro-mechanical systems in their construction projects.

Why Oman needs energy efficient construction?
Oman faces extreme hot weather conditions and thus, all the buildings have cooling units. Many of these are not thermally efficient and guzzle up electricity. It is usually the commercial buildings that are more energy inefficient as they use high energy-intensive equipment to cool larger spaces. It is estimated that nearly 70% of the energy use in residential buildings are utilized for cooling alone. It is a known fact that construction requires a huge amount of energy and it in turn leads to playing a role in greenhouse gases production. When a building consumes a lot of energy, the cost of running and maintaining the building becomes heavy.

Need for efficient systems
Commercial buildings utilize energy-intensive equipment. Buildings that are poorly designed do not put emphasis on sustainability too. Energy efficiency can be built into a project with the right intent. Thermal insulations, high performance glazing, shading of the exteriors, the efficient usage of LED light fittings, optimum use of solar heaters, efficient motors, modern lifts and the maximum use of energy-efficient air conditioning can bring down the energy usage considerably. With strategic use of solar panels to generate electricity, some of the needs can be met. Direct Services LLC, as a leading electromechanical company in Oman is strategically placed to advise and incorporate energy efficient practices and equipment in the projects they manage.

Importance of energy efficiency
When a building is constructed with the right materials, select electro-mechanical equipment and good practices, the energy efficiency of the building increases. It is able to do all that other buildings do – at lower consumption of electricity. Thus, energy-efficiency should be a policy to be adapted at the design stage of the project itself. Here companies like Direct Services LLC can provide valuable service and dip into their vast experience. From selection of construction bricks and materials, to the construction process – they can play a role. A good energy-efficient structure with the necessary incorporation of solar panels for electricity production can play a large role in reducing the dependency on the grid. Their services can be utilized for incorporating renewal energy systems that are also integrated into the building water heating, electrification, waste management and sewage.

Benefits of an efficient system
First and foremost, there is a long-term energy and cost saving through efficient building design and construction that even leads to lower maintenance costs with highly efficient equipment. Better energy-efficient electro-mechanical equipment incorporated into a building also means lower greenhouse gas emissions and lower reliance on fossil fuels. It also means better thermal efficiency that increases the comfort within the building. Heating and cooling are the two aspects that play a huge role in the energy efficiency of a building. By incorporating advanced HVAC systems, Direct Services LLC helps make the projects it handles become energy efficient. There are new and advanced energy-efficient systems that are available today and by utilizing these efficient systems, the latest models, effective placement, proper ventilation design and good planning, energy usage in construction is reduced in their projects at Oman.
