ACADEMY GUIDE

GORD has come a long way since pioneering the GlobalSustainability Assessment System (GSAS) formerly known as(GSAS) the Middle Eastrsquos first integrated and performance-based green building assessment rating system in 2009

Our mission to encourage the development and implementationof sustainability principles and imperatives stems from thesustainable goals outlined in His Highness The Emir SheikhHamad bin Khalifa Al-Thanirsquos Qatar National Vision 2030which aims to achieve sustainable economic development andenvironmental leadership

GSAS draws from top-tier global sustainability systems and adds new facets anddimensions to the current practices in assessing the sustainability of the built environmentModelled on best practices from the most established global rating schemes includingbut not limited to BREEAM (United Kingdom) LEED (United States) GREEN GLOBES(Canada) CEPAS (Hong Kong) CASBEE (Japan) and the International SBTOOL GSAShas grown into a pan-regional system offering a comprehensive framework and equallyflexible to incorporate the specific needs of the local context of different regions In QatarGSAS is currently the only rating scheme to be acknowledged by Qatar ConstructionSpecifications (QCS 2010)

Primary goals of GSAS include creating a better living environment minimizingresource consumption and reducing environmental degradation due to the fast pace

of urbanization taking place in this era Such objectives coupled with the increasingevidence of climate change effects on a global level have contributed strongly to theunprecedented pace of adaptation to sustainability practices not only in the developedcountries but also in developing countries at a pace that is unexpected

GSAS Version 20 has become the most comprehensive system to date that addressesthe built environment from a macro level to a micro level targeting a wide range ofbuilding typologies The new system will have design assessments for all typologiesintegrated into one comprehensive manual The manual provides recommendationsand guidelines for the effective implementation of the sustainability goals of eachcriterion As more research is carried out on the rating system the manuals will befurther developed to keep users informed on updates within the constantly evolving

GSAS rating systems

I would like to acknowledge the efforts and contributions from the State of Qatar allour members and international partners-especially the TC Chan Center for BuildingSimulation and Energy Studies at the University of Pennsylvania and the Centerrsquosassociated consultants who helped establish the system and take it into new dimensionsLast but not least the continuous support from Qatari Diar Real estate InvestmentCompany is highly appreciated and without its support GSAS would not be able toachieve what it has achieved in such a short time

ACADEMY GUIDE

GORD has come a long way since pioneering the GlobalSustainability Assessment System (GSAS) formerly known as(GSAS) the Middle Eastrsquos first integrated and performance-based green building assessment rating system in 2009

Our mission to encourage the development and implementationof sustainability principles and imperatives stems from thesustainable goals outlined in His Highness The Emir SheikhHamad bin Khalifa Al-Thanirsquos Qatar National Vision 2030which aims to achieve sustainable economic development andenvironmental leadership

GSAS draws from top-tier global sustainability systems and adds new facets anddimensions to the current practices in assessing the sustainability of the built environmentModelled on best practices from the most established global rating schemes includingbut not limited to BREEAM (United Kingdom) LEED (United States) GREEN GLOBES(Canada) CEPAS (Hong Kong) CASBEE (Japan) and the International SBTOOL GSAShas grown into a pan-regional system offering a comprehensive framework and equallyflexible to incorporate the specific needs of the local context of different regions In QatarGSAS is currently the only rating scheme to be acknowledged by Qatar ConstructionSpecifications (QCS 2010)

Primary goals of GSAS include creating a better living environment minimizingresource consumption and reducing environmental degradation due to the fast pace

of urbanization taking place in this era Such objectives coupled with the increasingevidence of climate change effects on a global level have contributed strongly to theunprecedented pace of adaptation to sustainability practices not only in the developedcountries but also in developing countries at a pace that is unexpected

GSAS Version 20 has become the most comprehensive system to date that addressesthe built environment from a macro level to a micro level targeting a wide range ofbuilding typologies The new system will have design assessments for all typologiesintegrated into one comprehensive manual The manual provides recommendationsand guidelines for the effective implementation of the sustainability goals of eachcriterion As more research is carried out on the rating system the manuals will befurther developed to keep users informed on updates within the constantly evolving

GSAS rating systems

I would like to acknowledge the efforts and contributions from the State of Qatar allour members and international partners-especially the TC Chan Center for BuildingSimulation and Energy Studies at the University of Pennsylvania and the Centerrsquosassociated consultants who helped establish the system and take it into new dimensionsLast but not least the continuous support from Qatari Diar Real estate InvestmentCompany is highly appreciated and without its support GSAS would not be able toachieve what it has achieved in such a short time

ACADEMY GUIDE

GORD has come a long way since pioneering the GlobalSustainability Assessment System (GSAS) formerly known as(GSAS) the Middle Eastrsquos first integrated and performance-based green building assessment rating system in 2009

Our mission to encourage the development and implementationof sustainability principles and imperatives stems from thesustainable goals outlined in His Highness The Emir SheikhHamad bin Khalifa Al-Thanirsquos Qatar National Vision 2030which aims to achieve sustainable economic development andenvironmental leadership

GSAS draws from top-tier global sustainability systems and adds new facets anddimensions to the current practices in assessing the sustainability of the built environmentModelled on best practices from the most established global rating schemes includingbut not limited to BREEAM (United Kingdom) LEED (United States) GREEN GLOBES(Canada) CEPAS (Hong Kong) CASBEE (Japan) and the International SBTOOL GSAShas grown into a pan-regional system offering a comprehensive framework and equallyflexible to incorporate the specific needs of the local context of different regions In QatarGSAS is currently the only rating scheme to be acknowledged by Qatar ConstructionSpecifications (QCS 2010)

Primary goals of GSAS include creating a better living environment minimizingresource consumption and reducing environmental degradation due to the fast pace

of urbanization taking place in this era Such objectives coupled with the increasingevidence of climate change effects on a global level have contributed strongly to theunprecedented pace of adaptation to sustainability practices not only in the developedcountries but also in developing countries at a pace that is unexpected

GSAS Version 20 has become the most comprehensive system to date that addressesthe built environment from a macro level to a micro level targeting a wide range ofbuilding typologies The new system will have design assessments for all typologiesintegrated into one comprehensive manual The manual provides recommendationsand guidelines for the effective implementation of the sustainability goals of eachcriterion As more research is carried out on the rating system the manuals will befurther developed to keep users informed on updates within the constantly evolving

GSAS rating systems

I would like to acknowledge the efforts and contributions from the State of Qatar allour members and international partners-especially the TC Chan Center for BuildingSimulation and Energy Studies at the University of Pennsylvania and the Centerrsquosassociated consultants who helped establish the system and take it into new dimensionsLast but not least the continuous support from Qatari Diar Real estate InvestmentCompany is highly appreciated and without its support GSAS would not be able toachieve what it has achieved in such a short time

ACADEMY GUIDE

GORD has come a long way since pioneering the GlobalSustainability Assessment System (GSAS) formerly known as(GSAS) the Middle Eastrsquos first integrated and performance-based green building assessment rating system in 2009

Our mission to encourage the development and implementationof sustainability principles and imperatives stems from thesustainable goals outlined in His Highness The Emir SheikhHamad bin Khalifa Al-Thanirsquos Qatar National Vision 2030which aims to achieve sustainable economic development andenvironmental leadership

GSAS draws from top-tier global sustainability systems and adds new facets anddimensions to the current practices in assessing the sustainability of the built environmentModelled on best practices from the most established global rating schemes includingbut not limited to BREEAM (United Kingdom) LEED (United States) GREEN GLOBES(Canada) CEPAS (Hong Kong) CASBEE (Japan) and the International SBTOOL GSAShas grown into a pan-regional system offering a comprehensive framework and equallyflexible to incorporate the specific needs of the local context of different regions In QatarGSAS is currently the only rating scheme to be acknowledged by Qatar ConstructionSpecifications (QCS 2010)

Primary goals of GSAS include creating a better living environment minimizingresource consumption and reducing environmental degradation due to the fast pace

of urbanization taking place in this era Such objectives coupled with the increasingevidence of climate change effects on a global level have contributed strongly to theunprecedented pace of adaptation to sustainability practices not only in the developedcountries but also in developing countries at a pace that is unexpected

GSAS Version 20 has become the most comprehensive system to date that addressesthe built environment from a macro level to a micro level targeting a wide range ofbuilding typologies The new system will have design assessments for all typologiesintegrated into one comprehensive manual The manual provides recommendationsand guidelines for the effective implementation of the sustainability goals of eachcriterion As more research is carried out on the rating system the manuals will befurther developed to keep users informed on updates within the constantly evolving

GSAS rating systems

I would like to acknowledge the efforts and contributions from the State of Qatar allour members and international partners-especially the TC Chan Center for BuildingSimulation and Energy Studies at the University of Pennsylvania and the Centerrsquosassociated consultants who helped establish the system and take it into new dimensionsLast but not least the continuous support from Qatari Diar Real estate InvestmentCompany is highly appreciated and without its support GSAS would not be able toachieve what it has achieved in such a short time

ACADEMY GUIDE

GORD has come a long way since pioneering the GlobalSustainability Assessment System (GSAS) formerly known as(GSAS) the Middle Eastrsquos first integrated and performance-based green building assessment rating system in 2009

Our mission to encourage the development and implementationof sustainability principles and imperatives stems from thesustainable goals outlined in His Highness The Emir SheikhHamad bin Khalifa Al-Thanirsquos Qatar National Vision 2030which aims to achieve sustainable economic development andenvironmental leadership

GSAS draws from top-tier global sustainability systems and adds new facets anddimensions to the current practices in assessing the sustainability of the built environmentModelled on best practices from the most established global rating schemes includingbut not limited to BREEAM (United Kingdom) LEED (United States) GREEN GLOBES(Canada) CEPAS (Hong Kong) CASBEE (Japan) and the International SBTOOL GSAShas grown into a pan-regional system offering a comprehensive framework and equallyflexible to incorporate the specific needs of the local context of different regions In QatarGSAS is currently the only rating scheme to be acknowledged by Qatar ConstructionSpecifications (QCS 2010)

Primary goals of GSAS include creating a better living environment minimizingresource consumption and reducing environmental degradation due to the fast pace

of urbanization taking place in this era Such objectives coupled with the increasingevidence of climate change effects on a global level have contributed strongly to theunprecedented pace of adaptation to sustainability practices not only in the developedcountries but also in developing countries at a pace that is unexpected

GSAS Version 20 has become the most comprehensive system to date that addressesthe built environment from a macro level to a micro level targeting a wide range ofbuilding typologies The new system will have design assessments for all typologiesintegrated into one comprehensive manual The manual provides recommendationsand guidelines for the effective implementation of the sustainability goals of eachcriterion As more research is carried out on the rating system the manuals will befurther developed to keep users informed on updates within the constantly evolving

GSAS rating systems

I would like to acknowledge the efforts and contributions from the State of Qatar allour members and international partners-especially the TC Chan Center for BuildingSimulation and Energy Studies at the University of Pennsylvania and the Centerrsquosassociated consultants who helped establish the system and take it into new dimensionsLast but not least the continuous support from Qatari Diar Real estate InvestmentCompany is highly appreciated and without its support GSAS would not be able toachieve what it has achieved in such a short time
