November 2023- Masdar City has just completed construction of the region's first net-zero energy commercial building, called NZ1. The building was largely constructed with locally sourced, sustainable materials, with around 90 percent of construction waste diverted from landfills. NZ1 is designed to consume 53 percent less energy than an equivalent conventional building. On-site solar panels will generate the building's annual energy needs, making it 'net-zero' energy. Any excess energy produced will be fed into the Abu Dhabi electric grid. The building has been created using an architectural technique that works with the local environment, with its physical components minimizing the need for electric heating or cooling. For example, NZ1 has a low window-to-façade ratio and uses window angling and shading to reduce direct sun while maximizing natural light. The building envelope is airtight and uses top-notch insulation to keep heat out and cooled air in. It also uses low-flow water fixtures and appliances, with landscaping requiring minimal water. The lobby will include a plaque that shows water and energy use as well as waste management and building experience data in real-time to help tenants adopt more sustainable practices. The data will be fed to a new digital control center in Masdar City that will monitor building performance across the city.
