Kotook Tech Launch UAE’s First Green Broker Training Bootcamp
Table of Contents
Real estate professionals gathered in Dubai this week for the UAE’s first Green Broker Training Program, a three-day bootcamp organized by Kotook Tech Ltd. in collaboration with the Emirates Green Building Council (EmiratesGBC).
The initiative was driven by Javad Mamoodi, CEO and co-founder of Kotook Tech, alongside Mohammad Reza Bartarang, chairman of Day to Day Properties.
For the organizers, the timing was deliberate. Buyers are asking harder questions about energy costs, air quality, and long-term building performance, and most brokers weren’t prepared to answer them.
Day 1: The Market Has Already Changed
The program opened with a clear message: sustainability is no longer something developers put in a brochure to stand out. It is now a measurable factor in how buyers evaluate properties and how investors calculate long-term returns.
Abdullatif Albitawi, Director of the Emirates Green Building Council, delivered the keynote address. He traced the UAE’s sustainability journey and laid out how green building practices are reshaping decisions across the property sector, from design and construction through to sales and investment.
Albitawi also drew attention to the bigger picture. Getting the real estate industry to move in a green direction, he said, requires everyone pulling together: developers, investors, government bodies, and the brokers sitting in that room. The first day set the tone for what followed.
Day 2: Standards, Efficiency, and Getting Into the Details
The second day moved from context to content. Dr. Samiullah Khan led an intensive session covering sustainability, energy efficiency, and waste management in the built environment. The room worked through the frameworks that increasingly define whether a building is considered premium or outdated: LEED, WELL, BREEAM, and the UAE’s own Estidama standard.
For many attendees, this was the most practical part of the bootcamp. Understanding what these certifications actually mean, and more importantly, how to explain them to a client standing in front of a property, is a skill gap the industry has been slow to address.
Dr. Khan kept the sessions far from academic. “I’ve always believed that discussing climate action and the built environment shouldn’t be a dry, passive lecture,” he said. “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.”
Day 3: Turning Knowledge Into Practice
The final day focused on what brokers actually do with everything they learned. Sessions covered how to communicate the value of sustainable developments to buyers and investors, how green features affect pricing and long-term asset performance, and how the UAE’s broader environmental goals connect directly to what is happening in the property market today.
The underlying argument was straightforward: brokers who understand sustainability will close deals that others cannot. As energy regulations tighten and buyer expectations rise, knowledge becomes a competitive edge.
The bootcamp closed with strong engagement from participants and a clear sense that the conversation around green real estate in the UAE has reached a turning point.
For Kotook Tech and the Emirates Green Building Council, the program marks the beginning of something longer. The UAE’s real estate sector is moving. The brokers who move with it will be the ones who understand why a building’s environmental performance matters just as much as its location.
