Project Description
The massive 3,300,000 sq m King Abdullah Financial District in Riyadh will be a pedestrian-friendly center in Riyadh with a monorail and solar-powered skywalk bridges. Façades will include building integrated solar-cells and the cladding material will be sourced locally so that the project’s carbon footprint will be less onerous. It will feature a variety of “green” initiatives. Water features will bring temperatures down by up to 8 degrees Celsius and shading to will mitigate excess solar gain such that very little mechanical cooling will have to be used.
The various retail, financial, residential, and cultural facilities will have green roofs that provide insulation and smart lighting solutions that will further ensure that energy use is kept to a minimum.
