Al Sheraa will provide an ideal working environment and well-being for its users. The building’s design maximises the flexibility of its work environment, by being easily and efficiently customisable, demonstrating innovation, and enhancing cooperation and productivity amongst staff and visitors.
The building’s design creates an exceptional experience for building users. The integration of all smart systems allows for data input attainment of energy generation, overall system consumption, the building’s environmental conditions, and user behaviour. Based on this information, the data will support the energy-focused building management system, provide reports for facilities management on individual users’ energy profiles, and providing broadcast service.
Al-Sheraa is being built in the heart of the Cultural Village at Al Jadaf. It has a built-up area of approximately 200,000 square metres.
The building will be connected by a bridge to Al Jadaf Metro Station, to encourage the use of public transport and reduce traffic congestion, to help reduce carbon footprint.
The new Al Sheraa DEWA Headquarters is a futuristic development in its design, sustainability features, occupant comfort and well-being, and integration of state-of-the-art technologies for office environments.

We’re committed to ensuring that credit balances from closed micro business accounts are returned to customers as soon as reasonably possible. Here are the key points of our refund policy, but if you have any further questions, please contact us for a copy of our full refund policy.
1. When we are notified that a micro business customer is leaving premises, we will ask for the final meter reading(s) and a forwarding address.
2. When we send any communication relating to the final account of a micro business customer, we will make clear if there is, or might be, a credit balance on the account, and what the micro business customer needs to do to receive any credit
3. Where we are reasonably satisfied that we hold the correct information, we will refund credit balances (based on a final actual meter read). Where the micro business customer requests it, and the credit balance is genuine, we will transfer the credit balance to another account of that customer
4. Once we have the full and correct details, refunds of genuine credit balances will be issued to micro business customers within 28 days of the final bill and the funds clearing or as soon as reasonably practicable
5. On a change of supplier, the losing supplier will treat the agreed meter reading (provided by the new supplier as part of the switching process) as a final actual meter read, subject to any disputed reads first being resolved
6. Where an old credit balance is identified and the micro business customers’ identity can be verified, the credit will be transferred to the customer’s live account or will be refunded directly
7. We will explore how, where a first attempt to refund a credit balance is unsuccessful (e.g. we have a former micro business customer’s actual address, but have not been provided with sufficient information to issue a credit refund), we could proactively follow up in a meaningful way any credit balances of a proportionate amount
8. We will consider any reasonable valid historic claim to a genuine credit balance from a former micro business customer

INDUSTRIAL ENGINEER – VOLUME 47 NUMBER 1
Contour Crafting could ‘print’ less expensive houses in a single day
Behrokh Khoshnevis wants to transform the world one building at a time. Khoshnevis has spent 20 years making a Contour Crafting, a 3-D printing technology for building construction, a reality. The current machine has built 8-foot high walls and can “print” a 300-square-foot structure.
Contour Crafting could reduce the amount of construction waste in a typical Wal-Mart from 500 tons to 50 tons. Compared with concrete masonry unit construction, the process used extensively for industry buildings, freeway sound barrier walls and low income housing, Contour Crafting cuts carbon dioxide emissions by 58 percent, with the building’s total embodied energy reduced by more than 87 percent.
The current machine breaks into three parts, plus assorted rails, pump systems and mixers, making it easy to transport the whole system to building sites and into disaster areas. In less than an hour, the Contour Crafting machine can be assembled and working. Right now, the technical holdup is building real buildings for test to go through the expensive and tedious regulatory certification process.
Building a traditional house in the United States takes from six to nine months, and purchasing the same can be cost-prohibitive for those with lower incomes. But with Contour Crafting, a complete, custom-designed house can be built in one day at a fraction of the cost.
Much of the cost savings will come from shaving off labor and time, as the machine needs only three operators to build 300 square feet in one hour. But the 3-D printing technique also cuts out an exorbitant amount of waste. Building a typical single-family home tosses from three to seven tons of material into a landfill. Contour Crafting, according to Khoshnevis calculations, could reduce that waste stream by a factor of 10.
