BAHRAIN, 2012/09/19 The construction sector will be operating in a new environment starting next year when building regulations mandating the use of eco-friendly best practices are due to be implemented. Nevertheless, the shift toward better sustainability may prove challenging for some. Scheduled approaching into force at the beginning of 2013, the proposed building regulations will require new developments to be constructed using international environmental standards. Current guidelines for greener building practices include making better use of natural lighting; widespread use of high-efficiency light bulbs, air conditioning and heating; improved ventilation; noise and emissions reduction; and green building materials, among others.
