Sustainability in the Built-Environment

Two important systems can be utilized for achieving a high level of sustainability in the built environment, which are commonly referred to as Green Building Rating Systems:

LEED:

LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is changing the way we think about how buildings and communities are planned, constructed, maintained and operated. Leaders around the world have made LEED the most widely used third-party verification for green buildings, with around 1.85 million square feet being certified daily.

LEED works for all buildings—from homes to corporate headquarters—at all phases of development. Projects pursuing LEED certification earn points across several areas that address sustainability issues. Based on the number of points achieved, a project then receives one of four LEED rating levels: Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum.

LEED-certified buildings are resource efficient. They use less water and energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As an added bonus, they save money.

Qatar Green Leaders is providing a wide range of GSAS Services that cover the whole building life cycle from planning to operation.

GSAS:

The Global Sustainability Assessment System (GSAS) is developed by GORD (Gulf Organization for Research and Development). Through several years of intense collaboration with the TC Chan Centre at the University of Pennsylvania, and School of Architecture at the Georgia Institute of Technology, USA and other reputed houses of expertise, GORD introduced the first version of GSAS (known as QSAS) in 2009.

GSAS was developed by drawing best practices adopted from 40 different rating systems known regionally and internationally.

GSAS aims at creating a sustainable built environment that minimizes ecological impact while addressing the specific social and cultural needs and environment of the region.

Environmental Engineering Management - How it can help Your Business

 

Green Building implementation is aiming at reducing or eliminating impacts of building design, construction & operation in order to achieve Sustainability goals. These goals are hard to be achieved without understanding and analyzing the current environmental circumstances where the building is located. Our Environmental Engineering Management service is being established to assist our clients in integrating the Green Building Process as well as meet local environmental code requirements.

“Environmental engineering is the branch of engineering concerned with the application of scientific and engineering principles for protection of human populations from the effects of adverse environmental factors; protection of environments, both local and global, from potentially deleterious effects of natural and human activities; and improvement of environmental quality." - The American Academy of Environmental Engineers

The term implies 3 sub-definitions:

Environmental: By Environment, we mean the project site environmental aspects that need to be understood in order to facilitate a proper integrative design process.

Engineering: Utilizing applied science and technology that addresses the environmental impacts of buildings and finding viable solutions to the construction industry.

Management: The administration of a project's environmental engineering process in a comprehensive, systematic, planned and documented manner.

Benefits of Environmental Engineering Management
