The minister who commended the institute for the choice of the theme which he said places emphasis not only on human capital development but on national development, said that In the housing sector, for instance, the Ministry has developed a national building code for effective building in terms of sizes of windows and materials for buildings that would affect the level of the impact of temperature.

“The entire Ministry Is now powered with energy-saving bulbs with well over 400 air conditioners with energy efficiency, “he said. “In the Works sector, we have also embraced some new technology of recycling used materials for road construction”.
