• The Pearl Rating System, Estidama –
U.A.E.
• Masdar
• QSAS – Qatar
• Qatar Convention Centre
ESTIDAMA and the Pearl Rating System
•
Estidama, which means ‘sustainability’ in Arabic, is an integrated
program to devise guidelines and regulations for sustainable (green)
design, construction, operations and maintenance of all types of
buildings and communities. Its aim is to create more sustainable
communities, cities and global enterprises and to balance the four pillars
of Estidama : environmental, economic, cultural and social.
•
The PRS has been designed to support sustainable development from
design to construction to operational accountability and provides
guidance and requirements to rate a project's potential performance in
relation to the four pillars of Estidama.
MASDAR DEVELOPMENT
Abu Dhabi – Pursuing Zero Energy and Carbon Neutrality
QSAS Qatar Sustainability System
•
QSAS is a comprehensive
rating system focused on
performance-based
measurements to evaluate
a project’s sustainability,
ecological impact, and
energy performance. The
primary objective of QSAS
is to create a sustainable
built environment that
minimizes ecological
impact while addressing
the specific regional needs
and environment of Qatar.
Qatar's New Green LEED Convention Center - a Mini Masdar City
The Qatar National Convention Center
project is slated to be completed and ready
to house events in 2011. The center will
have an area of 177,000 sq meters and will
have a specially designed roof containing
3,600 sqm of solar panels which will supply
about 12.5% of the project total energy
needs.
Qatar’s new LEED-certified convention
center could be as “green” as Masdar
City. It will boast a world first of LED
lighting in exhibition halls.
The center will also include other energy
saving features such as LED lighting in the
exhibition halls and a special wireless
convention management system, reducing
the need for paper while providing
delegates with free internet access. It is
also being aesthetically well designed with
a unique curving escalator. It is being
designed so that a number of events can be
held at the same time.
