Pacific Control Systems, an automation company with operations around the world, inaugurated its headquarters in Techno Park, Dubai.
The award winning headquarter building has achieved LEED certification from the USGBC, accumulating a total of 55 points.

CEO Dilip Rahulan said, "Our headquarter building is built in line with our commitment to the UAE government's drive towards achieving sustainable development in the region. It is our belief that our initiative will set a new benchmark for other green development projects in the UAE and elsewhere, demonstrating our commitment to environmental stewardship and Corporate social responsibility."
He announced that Pacific Controls is now looking beyond the Platinum certification and will Pioneer the the World's first "Living Building", as its Research and Development Centre in Dubai.
