Tourism Development & Investment Company (TDIC) is the company that managing all of the new construction projects in Abu Dhabi. I’m going to talk about Saadiyat Island.Buildings in saadiyat Island will contain Water walls which cools down the atmosphere in the main courtyard. As energy saving strategies, the daylight supply will be controlled by control roof and desired amount of sunlight can be enter or blocked as desired. As renewable energy strategies, wind turbines at wind towers and solar building. Solar driven absorption cooling with gas or waste heat back-up. And as low impact strategies, water saving fixtures, water system, local desalination, sewage treatment and waste sorting.
The energy saving features are focused on the buildings only. There is nothing to be done about transportation and recycling products. So I think there should be something done like increase the taxes for owning cars so that the amount of cars will decrease and use environmental transportation.
Im giving the project rank B because only few features are missing, however maybe when the project will finish there will be something to add to make the project more environmental
