  However, Jeff Willis, Arup's Middle East liaison manager and the leader of the Emirates Green Building Council technical committee, thinks the big developers will comply but is doubtful about the smaller players. "It will impact a lot on the smaller consultants and contractors; it depends on how the regulations are policed and what the sanctions are for not complying."
  
  Willis adds that Arup recently assessed a building for a buyer that was completed last year. "The standard of that was terrible," he says. "This was a recent building that was bad from the thermal, facade and air-tightness point of view."
  
  Despite the challenges, Smith and Willis are both optimistic about Dubai becoming a more environmentally friendly place.
  ...
  Willis says things move fast in Dubai - for example, developers are now taking a longer-term view on payback periods for greener buildings. "Five years ago, developers wouldn't have accepted a payback period longer than six months," he says. "The big developers are now looking at 12 years."

  "Any effort to reduce water consumption is welcome, and this is a step in the right direction," says Jeff Willis, principal, Arup."There are a number of things that can be designed and installed that will consume less water than traditional installations."
  
  According to Willis, consultants can specify double-flush toilets and sanitary/plumbing systems that are smaller and use less water.There are also low water-consumption washing machines and dishwashers available on the market.
  
  But despite the availability of water-saving alternatives, he warns that a rigid system would have to be implemented in order for the right equipment to be installed.
  
  "There could be an additional cost related to some of these [specifications], so the whole process needs to be enforceable and enforced to ensure they are carried through to the end of the project," he adds.
  ...
  And in a call to the authorities to push on further with these water-saving initiatives, Willis says that any systems designed to reduce water consumption could have a wider reach beyond plumbing devices.
  ...
  But in addition to the installation of recycling plants in buildings Willis says that public awareness is at the core of any paradigm shift on water usage.
