Kotook Tech Ltd., under the leadership of CEO /Co Founder KOTOOK Tech Javad Mamoodi and Chairman Day to Day Properties Mohammad Reza Bartarang, successfully hosted the UAE’s first Green Broker Training Programme in collaboration with the Emirates Green Building Council, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of sustainable real estate practices across the country.
Held over three days, the pioneering programme brought together real estate professionals from across the UAE to explore the growing role of sustainability in shaping the future of the property sector. The initiative reflects the increasing importance of environmental responsibility within the real estate industry and the need for brokers to adapt to changing market expectations.
The programme featured Abdullatif Albitawi, Director of Emirates Green Building Council, as keynote and guest speaker. He shared valuable insights into the UAE’s sustainability journey and highlighted the expanding influence of green building practices on property development, investment decisions, and market competitiveness.
Sustainability Becomes a Defining Factor in Real Estate
A central focus of the programme was the transformation of buyer preferences and the growing importance of sustainability in property valuation. Industry experts discussed how environmental performance is rapidly becoming a key consideration for both residential and commercial property buyers.
Modern consumers are increasingly seeking properties that offer energy efficiency, reduced operating costs, healthier indoor environments, and lower environmental impact. As a result, sustainability is no longer viewed as an optional feature but as a significant contributor to long-term property value and market appeal.
The discussions highlighted the critical role brokers play in helping clients understand these benefits and make informed purchasing decisions in an evolving marketplace.
Equipping Brokers for a Sustainable Future
Throughout the training programme, participants received practical guidance on sustainable building practices, green certification frameworks, energy-efficient technologies, and environmental considerations that are influencing today’s real estate sector.
The curriculum was designed to provide brokers with the knowledge and tools required to effectively communicate the advantages of sustainable developments to buyers and investors. Participants explored how sustainability considerations are increasingly impacting investment strategies, property performance, and customer expectations.
Industry leaders emphasised that brokers who develop expertise in sustainable real estate will be better positioned to meet future market demands and create greater value for their clients.
Expert Perspectives on Green Building and Industry Transformation
Addressing attendees, Abdullatif Albitawi highlighted the growing significance of green building principles in supporting the UAE’s national sustainability objectives. He discussed the importance of collaboration between developers, investors, government entities, and real estate professionals in accelerating the adoption of sustainable practices across the built environment.
The sessions provided participants with a deeper understanding of how sustainability aligns with the UAE’s long-term economic diversification and environmental goals, while reinforcing the real estate sector’s role in driving positive change.
Day 2: Sustainability, Energy Efficiency and Waste Management Solutions
The second day of the Green Broker Training Programme featured an engaging session led by Dr. Samiullah Khan, focusing on sustainability, energy efficiency, and waste management solutions in the real estate sector. A key highlight was the discussion on Building Standards, covering both local and international frameworks including LEED, WELL, BREEAM, and Estidama. Participants gained practical knowledge on how these standards create value and how brokers can effectively communicate their benefits to clients.
Reflecting on the session, Dr. Samiullah Khan shared:
“I’ve always believed that discussing climate action and the built environment shouldn’t be a dry, passive lecture. We kept the learning highly interactive, dynamic, and fun. The engagement and curiosity from the brokers were absolutely fantastic! Seeing their enthusiasm to integrate these principles into their everyday practice is a huge win for the future of our urban communities. Looking forward to seeing this incredible group of brokers champion genuine sustainability out in the market!”
Advancing Knowledge and Professional Development
For Kotook Tech Ltd., the programme represented an important step towards advancing industry knowledge and supporting professional development within the UAE’s real estate ecosystem.
As the country’s first dedicated Green Broker Training Programme, the initiative provided a unique opportunity for real estate professionals to gain specialised expertise in an area that is rapidly becoming essential to industry success. The event fostered valuable discussions around innovation, sustainability, and the future direction of the property market.
Looking Ahead
As sustainability continues to reshape the global real estate landscape, the Green Broker Training Programme demonstrated the growing need for education, awareness, and professional development within the sector.
The event concluded with strong engagement from participants and a shared recognition that sustainability is no longer a niche consideration in real estate. Instead, it is becoming a defining factor in how properties are designed, developed, marketed, and sold.
By introducing the UAE’s first Green Broker Training Programme, Kotook Tech Ltd. and the Emirates Green Building Council have taken an important step towards preparing real estate professionals for a future where environmental responsibility, market competitiveness, and long-term value creation are increasingly interconnected.
