Building Sustainable Designs

Ithra Dubai developments are acclaimed for their innovative approach in design and construction and for achieving unprecedented engineering milestones in the region

The company ensures that its developments and their construction are in line with Dubai Vision, mitigating environmental impact and maximising social benefit to the community and the UAE as a whole. In line with the UAE’s net-zero target for 2050, the development aims to achieve the highest standards of sustainability as it implements the Gold LEED certification requirements in every aspect of its design and functionality. One Za’abeel will offer a new kind of sustainable development for residents, tenants, and visitors alike as it aims for a Gold LEED certification. LED lighting is used throughout the project for all internal and external lighting systems. Water-to-water heat pumps are used for centralised domestic hot water systems in both One Za’abeel Tower and One Za’abeel The Residences, and treated sewage effluent water will be used for irrigation along with a condensate collection system from the building’s air conditioning systems. Energy-efficient design consideration was taken with façade system selection and energy modelling to predict and size the air conditioning equipment accurately.
