The Challenge
Compared to building projects, infrastructure projects :
Come at an earlier stage
Have a larger impact
Yet, have less-understood sustainability requirements

Overview of QSAS/GSAS
- Who developed it?
- What are the different rating systems?
GORD: Gulf Organisation for Research and Development (not for profitsubsidiary of QATARI DIAR Real Estate Investment Company previously BQDRI)
GSAS Commercial Buildings GSAS Residential Buildings GSAS Schools GSAS Core & Shell GSAS Districts (Previously
referred to as QSASNeighborhoods)

QSAS/GSAS development
Developed through extensivereview of all international ratingsystems.
Best Mix combining the bestmethods for the 6 most establishedrating systems
Purpose is to provide a frameworkto benchmark sustainability of
projects with respect to the issueswhich are important to Qatar, e.g:desertification, scarcity of water,cultural heritage

QSAS or GSAS?
QSAS : Qatar Sustainability Rating System (2009) [Version1]
GSAS : Global Sustainability Rating System (2013) [Version 2]
The QSAS V.1 and GSAS V.2 systems are very similar ,key changes include:
Addition of criteria to several categories (including Site,Management + Legacy)Removal of some criteria from categories (Urban Connectivitycriteria reduced)Some of the credit weightings have been adjusted +/- a few
percentagesFor the Urban Connectivity and Management and Operations
categories, non-compliance will no longer be penalized (minimumscore is 0 vs. -1).

Is QSAS/GSAS Mandatory? The Ministry of Environment
introduced a new section in thelatest version of QatarConstruction Specifications ( QCS2010 ) entitled Sect ion 7 GreenConstruction, with recommendminimum scores
In Lusail , projects have to
achieve aminimum 2 Star
rating(incentive provided for higherrating)
Asghal signed MoU adopting

How to become QSAS/GSAS - CGP [Certified
Green Professional] ?Attend QSAS-CGP Workshop (6000 QR, 3 days, register onhttp://gord.webnova.ca/ )
Register or CGP exam (online, through Prometric)
Pass exam (4 hours, open book)
Note: CGP is a certification for individuals. Companies also needto register with GORD, and this can be done once at least oneemployee has become a CGP.

CEEQUAL Rating System
CEEQUAL is the evidence-based Sustainability Assessment and Awards Scheme for civil engineering, infrastructure, landscaping and the public realm , and celebrates the achievement of high
environmental and social performance. Source: www.ceequal.com
Three types of CEEQUAL Schemes:
1. CEEQUAL for UK & Ireland Projects
2. CEEQUAL for International Projects
3. CEEQUAL for Term Contracts
