SUSTAINABILITY DESIGN APPROAHS

• SPADC is targeting LEED Silver Certificate. The USGBC has

approved the LEED design submittals,

• 23% of energy reduction was accomplished by incorporating a

number of energy saving features i.e. variable speed pumping

and VSD to control the chillers, high performance glazing,

heat recovery system, building management system, light

Control System..etc,

• Implemented Erosion and Sedimentation Control during the

construction works,

• More than 20% of the total project site is vegetated by native

plants.

• All the applied water for irrigation will be non-potable water. In

addition, landscape plants were chosen for their low water

consumption needs with drip irrigation method, that shall

reduce the water used by irrigation by 56%.

• The flushing system is dual flush and non-potable water is

used, that reduces the potable domestic water consumption in

the building by 40% when compared with conventional

buildings.

• 10% of all materials used contains recycled content.

SABIC COMMON SUSTAINABILITY PARAMETERS IN DESIGN AND EXECUTION

No. 38

SUSTAINABILITY IN DESIGN – COMMON PARAMETERS

Sustainable Strategies Site

• Providing an alternative transportation to reduce the CO2 emissions.

• More than 20% of the total project site is vegetated by native plants.

Water Efficiency

• All the applied water for irrigation is non-potable water. In addition, landscape plants were chosen for

their low water consumption needs with drip irrigation methods, that shall reduce the water used by

irrigation by more than 50%.

• All units have shower heads, kitchen sink and the lavatories that are designed to deliver a high

velocity stream with a reduced water flow. The flushing system is dual flush and non-potable water is

used.

• Reducing the potable domestic water consumption in the buildings by 40% when compared with

conventional buildings.

No. 39

SUSTAINABILITY IN DESIGN – COMMON PARAMETERS

• Energy

Energy reduction is accomplished by incorporating a number of energy saving features:

Variable Speed Pumping and VSD to control the Chillers

High Performance Glazing

Heat Recovery system

Building Management System

Light Control System

• Materials and Waste

More than 20% of all materials used contain a recycled content.

More than 20% of materials, products and raw materials in the buildings are manufactured and

extracted within 500 miles of the project site.

• Indoor Environmental Quality

Lighting and temperature systems in common spaces, as well as individual units, can be

individually controlled, so tenants can define their own comfort levels.

Implementing Air Quality Management measures

INTERNATIONAL SUSTAINABILITY RANKING FOR DESIGN AND EXECUTION

No. 41

INTERNATIONAL SUSTAINABILITY RANKING FOR DESIGN AND EXECUSION

U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)

• A private membership-based and non-profit organization that promotes sustainability in how buildings

are designed, built, and operated.

• USGBC is best known for its development of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design

(LEED) green building rating systems.

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) • LEED is a set of rating systems for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of green

buildings, homes and neighborhoods.

Eight areas are covered in LEED certification:

Innovation and design process (ID) Location & linkages (LL)

Sustainable sites (SS) Water efficiency (WE)

Energy & atmosphere (EA) Material & resources (MR)

Indoor environmental quality (EQ) Awareness and education (AE)

No. 42

INTERNATIONAL SUSTAINABILITY RANKING FOR DESIGN AND EXECUTION

Design and Execution Certification Levels and Credits:

SABIC is adopting LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification program in

buildings and housing projects:

• “ ” in housing projects.

• “GOLD” in general offices and administration building and research facilities projects.

The main benefits adopting sustainability approach and LEED certification include:

• Reducing energy consumption.

• Protection of the environment.

• Improved occupant health.
