WGC-37 is a 22-story residential building located in Water Garden City in Bahrain.   It was constructed in 2015 with a total built-up area of around 28,000m² but was left unoccupied and idle for the first four years, 

In 2019, a decision was made to recommission the building into a 283 rooms' staff accommodation for a large Hotel in its vicinity. As of today, the building is divided into a GF, three parking floors above the GF, one offices' floor, 15 floors for rooms, and the last floor including a gym, an outdoor pool, and a recreational lounge.

EEG worked on the project in cooperation with CBRE Bahrain with a focus to optimize the current utilities’ OPEX. The building has centralized chilled water and hot water systems with a BMS controlling all the key equipment and infrastructure.

The final outcome of the energy audit was a total of 11 Energy Efficiency Measures leading to about 30% of annual utilities cost reductions with a simple payback period of 3 years (if all are implemented).

The project was completed in the month of April 2021 and the owners are currently devising strategies to implement the chosen efficiency actions.
