There are two Green Building Rating Systems widely used in Qatar ie GSAS and LEED • GSAS – Global Sustainability Assessment System developed by GORDGORD(Gulf Organization for Research and Development) • Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) by US Green Building Council Green Building Rating Systems in Qatar

  3. GSAS – Global Sustainability Assessment System • GSAS is a part of QCS 2010 and QCS 2014 and hence it is widely used in Qatar. • All major Government Projects recently developed are perusing GSAS Certification. • ASHGAL Schools • ASHGAL Health Care facilities • New Port Project • Qrail • Lusail development • All Ministry buildings

  4. LEED – Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design • Older projects prior to the popularity of GSAS have used LEED as a Green Building Rating System for their projects. • Qatar Foundation and Msheireb Properties are the organizations which have primarily used LEED for their projects

  5. In the next few slides we will introduce you to some of • the well known Green Buildings in Qatar • Qatar Foundation Education City Campus – LEED Platinum • RasGas Tower – LEED Gold • Msheireb Downtown - World’s largest collection of LEED certified buildings • Kahramaa Awareness Park - GSAS  Award receiver and the national winner for Qatar of the coveted Energy Globe Award 2015

  6. QATAR FOUNDATION EDUCATION CITY CAMPUS - LEED PLATINUM Qatar Foundation (QF) plays an instrumental role in Qatar’s sustainability efforts as it helps transform the country into a knowledge-based economy Project Details: • Size: 775,000 SF • Project cost: $187millions • The development comprises two individual male and female complexes with a permeating Islamic motif.

  7. The complex comprises state-of-the-art sustainable technology and energy-efficient systems throughout its entirety. It also allows students to track their green footprint by monitoring their individual water and energy consumption, and is equipped with a solar-paneled roof, and wind turbines that generate clean energy at gusts of 10km or more

  8. RASGAS TOWER - FIRST LEED GOLD IN QATAR Qatar’s first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for commercial interiors with Green Building Rating System - Gold Level by the US Green Building Council (USGBC). Project Details: • Size: 54,000 m2 (581,251 ft²) • Project cost: $110 Million USD • The RasGas Headquarters Tower for Commercial Interiors • with Green Building Rating System Gold Level

  10. Msheireb Downtown -The world’s largest collection of LEED certified buildings • When completed, Msheireb’s developer claims the entire complex will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by as much as 110,000 tonsper year compared to conventionally built developments of a similar size. • Solar panels on top of the buildings and covered walkways • will catch Qatar’s abundant sun and will in part power all of the buildings. • Smart grid technologies will also be an important facetof the development’s • promise to be as energy efficient as possible.

  11. Msheireb Downtown -The world’s largest collection of LEED certified buildings • Moving from north to south, the buildings cascade and become taller so that each one shades the one next to it • Thick walls will help to keep the buildings’ interiors cool. • Pedestrian walkways will zigzag so that no matter what time of day • visitors find themselves in Msheireb, they will never find themselves trapped in • the sun.

  12. Kahramaa Awareness Park- GSAS  Award and • the national winner for Qatar of Energy Globe Award 2015 Kahramaa Awareness Park is an innovative project designed as a science museum for disseminating information on ways to conserve water and electricity, and serves as an original source of knowledge for young visitors.
