Energy City Qatar, part of the Lusail development and the first carbon-neutral building to be constructed in the country, is set to become a “model and example for future developments,” according to the senior building construction manager.
Ashraf Khalaf spoke to Gulf Times on the sidelines of a recent conference about sustainability, and he explained that the concept of green building has become more noticeable in Qatar, with the government providing encouragement for companies to pursue sustainable processes and use renewable resources for construction.
The project will be completed by 2012, despite some delays last year due to the economic downturn and rising cost of raw materials, the Qatari Tribune reported.
ECQ is touted as the Middle East’s first energy business center designed to exclusively cater to the commercial, technical and human resource needs of global and regional energy companies. The project will encompass 1.2 square kilometers and employ as many as 20,000 people. Sources: Gulf Times, Quatari Tribune, Green Prophet
