Energy Efficiency & Eco-Friendly measures

Water efficiency for Landscape and irrigation

Rain Water Tank: The tank is designed to store a total volume of 923 cubical meters of rain water to be used for

Landscape and irrigation purposes.

Gray Water Recycling: The Sanitary project was designed to capture the Gray Waters, water for lavatories and

sinks, and store them in the “Gray Water Tank” where the water will pass through a sophisticated filtering

system and ultra-violet treatment prior to be reused.


Energy Modeling

Electronic Ballast: The Electrical project is designed to include a T5 Fluorescents with an electronic ballast for

each lighting fixture.

Dimming Sensor: The electrical project is also designed to include on-board dimming sensors in the lumens

installed near the Curtin Walls. A smart lumen is known to exceed 30% in Energy efficiency compared to a

conventional one.

Energy Efficiency & EcoEnergy Efficiency & Eco--Friendly measuresFriendly measures


Green Technology Implementation:

Water Efficiency:

:

Underground water resources through a local water well

Collecting the condense water from the HVAC system and reuse it for irrigation and toilets.

Directing the Gray water from the sinks to a Gray water treatment station and redirecting it back to the

Building’s toilets.

Using a dry toilet system that requires no water flushing and is not connected to any water source.


Energy Efficiency:

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, buildings use 39% of the energy and 74% of the electricity

produced each year in the United States.

So far introduced technologies refer to:

Free Cooling Chillers, where process of utilizing the low outside air temperature for chilling water in the

process or air conditioning, rather than part or all of air-cooled chiller plant.

Solar Panels for naturally producing hot water. The natural hot water is retained in the Boilers room supplying

the pre heating station and the Building’s heating system with hot water.

Natural water pre heating station for the Boilers to reduce fuselage consumption during the steam production.

Smart lighting fixtures with natural light sensors and dimmers.


Environment and Atmosphere:

The Indoor/Outdoor Environmental Quality category promotes strategies that can improve indoor air; as well as

providing access to natural daylight and views, improving acoustics of the working environment and controlling

Outdoor pollution.

Low Noise Chillers based on screw compressor technology with cast aluminum sickle-shaped fans with high

efficiency external rotor motor.

Terrace covered with high SRI Gravel as a direct sunlight barrier reducing heat waves penetrating the Building.

Optimized Curtain Wall Façade, introducing maximum natural light penetration with minimum heating factor,

lowering the consumption rate of the Electricity for lighting fixtures.

Introducing Curtain Wall Atriums encouraging natural light into the Building.


Environment and Atmosphere:

Introducing the “Light Shelf” solution, extending the natural light coverage areas.

Closed Glass Façade controlling the Indoor Air Quality with a delicate monitored mixture of fresh Air.

Usage of no toxic materials.

Usage of low limiting materials.

Waste reduction technologies during construction by reusing waste material for backfilling and Landscaping

development.

Controlled usage of materials introducing recycled, and future recyclable, materials.

Smart growth program reducing the “Heat Island Affect”.


Green LEED Goal:

The Project is being led by the Owner towards the “Gold” rate according to the United States Green

Building Counsel (USGBC) VIA a specialized American company with vast experience in leading Projects

towards the LEED goals.


Green Building Benefits

Green Buildings provides financial benefits that conventional Buildings do not. These benefits include

energy and water savings, reduces waste, improve indoor environmental quality, greater employee

comfort/productivity and lowers operations maintenance costs with special attention to the full life cycle

impacts of resources which is embodied in such green building and to the resource consumption and

pollution emissions over the building's complete life cycle.

Main worldwide costs proven benefits:

• 25-30% more energy efficient

• Lower electricity peak consumption

• Generates renewable natural energy

• Reduces electricity purchases by more than 28%
