SYNOPSIS:- GSAS refers to the Global Sustainability Assessment System, the first performance-based system in the MENA region, developed for rating the green buildings and infrastructures. The primary objective of GSAS is to create a sustainable built environment, considering the specific needs and context of the region. The groundwork of GSAS begins with the comprehensive review of best practices from established international and regional sustainability rating systems. The development of GSAS is based on a bottom up approach that is followed to allow for seamless integration of the country’s specific requirements with high level and multi-dimensional sustainability goals.
GSAS identifies several sustainability challenges of a built environment. The challenges include air pollution, land use and contamination, fossil fuel depletion, water depletion, water pollution, materials depletion, human discomfort and sickness and climate change. These challenges were used to guide the identified framework to ensure its robustness in mitigating the adverse environmental impacts of the built environment. GSAS framework is comprehensive and designed to follow an integrated life cycle approach, to improve the sustainability performance of built environment. GSAS addresses the sustainability impacts during the design, construction and operation stages of buildings and infrastructure projects.
