Dubai Marina Mall steps up the benchmark in green practices with slew of eco-friendly initiatives

New 'green' practices serve as a model for retail centres world wide with Dubai Marina Mall achieving 25% reduction in electricity use and 30% water conservation compared with 2010. Currently 70% of the mall's common areas depend on natural daylight when possible; and by 2012, all fluorescent lighting in the common areas will be phased out, replaced with efficient LED lighting.

The mall uses 100% environmentally friendly cleaning products (inclusive of biodegradable packaging) and recycle bins for clothing have also been installed in the car parks, while only grey water is used for irrigation and landscaping.

Setting new trends in green mall management, Dubai Marina Mall has set up a roof garden to reduce heat transmission and improve absorption; and the windows have been tinted to reduce heat transmission, in turn lowering cooling costs.

The Roads & Transport Authority has introduced Taxi and Water Ferry services from Dubai Marina Mall station in the Marina Canal, adjacent the mall. Electric taxis operate along the promenade to transport for shoppers around the Marina Canal; however shoppers are encouraged to take green options such as the Dubai Metro.
