Masdar City’s master planning journey is ongoing

2008

• • • • •

Cars outside city Podium 7.5m above ground PRT everywhere below podium Mixed-use small square On-site energy generation

2011

• • • • •

Cars at edge of city Podium discontinued PRT only below podium KUSTAR 30% of large square Small square not defined

2013

• • • • • •

Cars into certain areas of city PRT expanded in city core only GRT loop throughout city Walkable neighborhoods Small square low density Connection to grid/networks Page 7

What we strive for at Masdar City Renewable energy

10MW solar PV farm 1MW rooftop solar PV on Masdar Institute 75% of hot water provided by rooftop solar thermal collectors

Energy demand

40% reduction from ASHREA 2007 standards for all buildings

Water demand

50% less water consumption in residential units

Waste management

90% of construction waste reused or recycled

Low carbon materials Sustainability measurement

40% reduction in embedded carbon in building materials

All buildings Estidama 3 Pearl or higher, community targets Estidama 4 Pearl or higher Page 9

When Masdar City designs buildings, sustainability is the first thought The Masdar approach

The common approach

• Sustainability is the core of Masdar’s DNA – not an afterthought to hit Estidama targets

• Sustainability is an after thought to hit Estidama targets

• Passive measures (zero or low cost) are given top priority

• Passive measures not considered – active (high cost) measures are required

• Sustainability KPIs are part of all Masdar projects

• No sustainability KPIs were considered before Estidama ratings became mandatory

• Estidama planning begins at project brief

• Estidama planning begins late in the design stage

Sustainability features reduce construction cost Cost reduction features

Masdar efficiency

• Increase efficiency of Net Internal Area vs.

Gross Floor Area.

Non-Leasable Space

• Decrease the building envelope area (roof and façade) for a given floor area.

The increase in Leasable Space is Pure Profit

• Decrease window area while maintaining optimal interior light levels • Reduced mechanical equipment sizes from reduced cooling load • Decrease in mechanical plant room area from reduced mechanical equipment.

Leasable Space

Innovation around building materials has significantly changed the local supply chain 2008

Now

Concrete

No low-carbon concrete in Abu Dhabi

Batching plant on-site replacing cement with up to 60% GGBS

Steel

No recycled steel rebar in the UAE

100% recycled steel from CICON

Aluminum

No recycled aluminum in the UAE

32% recycled aluminum from Gulf Extrusions

CMUs

No recycled building blocks in the UAE

Local Partners

50% recycled aggregate ALSERKAL & ASSARAIN

Evolution of Masdar’s solar strategy 2009 – Masdar City -10MW PV

2010 – Rooftop -1MW

2013 – SHAMS – 100 MW CSP

Design – Nour 1 100 MW PV

Masdar City is a test bed for innovation Solar Beam Down project •

Most CSP plants use mirrors (heliostats) to direct the sun’s rays onto a receiver at the top of a central tower, heating a),which is then used to generate steam for a steam turbine.

•

By placing the receiver at the base of the tower (ground level), the Beam Down Project will eliminate the energy loss resulting from pumping the heat transfer fluid (molten salt, oil or water to an elevated position.

Pilot Projects are enabled within Masdar City Double effect solar cooling pilot • Highly advanced solar cooling pilot - the only system of its kind anywhere in the world that tests the use of two different collector technologies. • The chilled water produced by this system is used to cool ~1700m2 of offices, meeting rooms and open-plan office space
