Sustainability

• A clean-energy tram system provides sustainable mobility across the district.

• Dedicated lanes for bicycles and pedestrians encourage a healthy, low-carbon lifestyle.

• Improved building envelopes, recessed windows, and energy recovery systems reduce total energy usage by approximately 30%.
• A high-efficiency district cooling plant further optimises energy performance.
• Over 6,400 photovoltaic solar panels generate on-site electricity, while 1,400 solar panels provide solar-heated water, reducing dependence on conventional energy sources.

• Streets are oriented to capture cool breezes from the Gulf and provide shade for most pedestrian routes.
• Buildings are massed to shade one another and use light-coloured materials to reduce cooling requirements.
• Eco-friendly materials, thicker walls, and heat-isolating glass help maintain comfortable indoor temperatures while reducing energy use.

•Non-potable water from the municipality is used for irrigation, flushing, and district cooling make-up water.

•Efficient irrigation systems and native, drought-tolerant plants minimise water consumption.

•An advanced waste collection and segregation system ensures that most waste is recycled or reused, significantly reducing landfill impact.
