An emerging clean-technology cluster, Masdar City in Abu Dhabi is set to become one of the greenest places in the world. AECOM was selected to provide a range of services including an optimized, sustainable design and low-carbon construction for the new Siemens Headquarters located within the city.

Our integrated team of experts designed an external shading system using air-tight construction and low-carbon materials to ensure that the building’s envelope met the client’s high performance goals regarding wind resistance, day-lighting and water tightness.

The building was constructed using high recycled content concrete, an inexpensive, strong and versatile material, which increased resistance to harsh chemicals such as chlorine present in Masdar’s environment.

Despite facing the challenge of working under a tight schedule and strict building specification targets and guidelines, our team was able to deliver a low carbon building that achieved a LEED Core and Shell Platinum certification and met all Masdar’s sustainability key performance indicators. This project will enable Masdar City to become a sustainable, smart city.

Key facts

  • First building in the United Arab Emirates certified Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED V3.0) Core and Shell Platinum
  • 98% construction waste diversion from landfill
  • 50% reduction in water demand (EPA Baseline)
  • 46% reduction in energy demand (ASHRAE 90.1_2007 Baseline)
  • 30% reduction in embodied carbon (over Masdar Baseline)
