6 | Sustainability Design Guidelines

2.6.1 | Introduction
The purpose of Milestone 10 Design Guidelines is to provide overall guidance to Globalfoundries when implementing sustainability practices at various phases of the project. This document has been developed assessing Estidama requirements with a brief initial analysis on various building rating systems, as per GFs advice on October 17th 2010. This report is intended to be a Living document to ensure that any changes with regards to project design development are incorporated into the design, while input from various project disciplines are being considered through an integrated approach.

Urban Planning Council (UPC), Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building rating system administered by US Green Building Council and BREEAM Gulf (BRE Environmental Assessment Method), and a collaborative development by organizations in Qatar, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. LEED has greater international recognition and is the only system currently at use in the Semiconductor industry; however, LEED credits do not fully factor the importance of water in the region. BREEAM Gulf and Estidama are currently less-known due to being newer, but are weighted more appropriately for Gulf region priorities. Evaluation of the major criteria categories of each of the three relevant rating systems indicate that only BREEAM Gulf and Estidama emphasize water sufficiently for UAE, where water is scarce and therefore needs stronger emphasis in selection of a sustainability rating system when it comes to true performance. LEED, on the other hand, emphasizes siterelated concerns more than water.

2.6.2 | Analysis on Building Rating System: Estidama -- LEED

For Abu Dhabi project (AD01), three building rating systems are potentially relevant: Estidama Pearl Rating System developed by

Table 2.6 -1 below compares the Green Building Systems and their implementation globally. This gives a good indication of system applicability and recognition.
Table 2.6-1: Building Rating System Comparison

Both the BREEAM Gulf and Estidama processes include 3 phases; design, construction, and operations. A Pearls Design Rating can be used to confirm that the proposed project design is consistent with the goals of Estidama. Once construction is complete as designed, a Pearls Construction Rating will be provided. The Pearls Operational Rating is awarded after 2 years of at least 80% occupancy. BREEAM also has a certification system for a design stage and a post-construction stage, but unlike Estidama, BREEAM does not require a post occupancy assessment except

for its highest rating (BREEAM Outstanding), which has a mandatory requirement for a BREEAM In Use certification within the first 3 years of operation. LEED has an optional design submission at which no certificates are issued, and has the leanest post occupancy assessment of the three systems. The new changes in LEED 2009 show a slow shift in the direction of postoccupancy assessment with the new requirement that the USGBC has access to projects Whole-Building Energy and Water Usage Data.

Figure 2.6 -2: Certification Process

As BREEAM Gulf and Estidama have not been widely used in UAE, it remains to be seen how the amount of paperwork and

engineering/modeling/administrative effort will compare between the three systems.

Figure 2.6-3: Capital Investment per Rating System

We have been advised that LEED certification is a GFGF corporate requirement and shall be pursued. Estidama is now closely-tied to Abu Dhabi regulations and as of 1st September

2010, all new buildings must meet the minimum requirements in order to receive approval for construction to begin. The Estidama Pearl Rating System, developed by

PG.4

Page | 2.6-4

the Urban Planning Council (UPC) mandates that all buildings achieve at least ONE pearl rating. All government buildings or government led investments will be required to meet the requirements of TWO pearl rating. Considering mandatory requirement from UPC to pursue Estidama and GFGF corporate mandate for LEED certification, GF is considering pursuing both Estidama and LEED certification for AD 01 project. This document however, assesses only Estidama certification requirements consistent with clients request on October 17th 2010.

The building rating systems are generally not geared towards industrial applications like FAB. GF was clear in their direction in July 6, 2010 presentation that they would like to get the entire Phase 1 development certified and not just the office block. GF shared their approach for project certification boundary in the sustainability review session in Malta on August 12, 2010. It was informed that certification boundaries as shown below were selected to facilitate the energy modeling and baseline calculations. GF mentioned that they had series of discussions with GBCI to agree on the certification boundaries as shown below. Separate project boundaries were established for the Administration and FAB Building, with the utility systems (CUB building) included in the energy model calculations for the FAB.

2.6.3 | Project Boundary for Certification ProjectBoundaryDefinition

Figure 2.6-4: Project Definition Malta FAB 8

Urban Planning Council called for a meeting to discuss with their Estidama team regarding the Pre-concept master plan submission. During this meeting with UPC, project certification boundary was discussed. Estidama team supported the idea for separate certification for Admin and Fab building considering their function and use. In addition, it was agreed that the CUB will be included in the

certification. Please find enclosed in Appendix 2.7 I the UPC response.

ProjectBoundaryOptionsand SelectedApproach
Further discussions were held in sustainability review meeting on Sep 13, 2010 wherein certification boundary options were discussed

2.6.4 | Sustainability Workshops CoordinationMeetingwithUPC

An initial meeting was held on the 29th of August with representatives from Urban

Planning Council, GF and CH2M HILL. The main purpose of the meeting was to discuss the Pre-Concept Plan submission and the way forward. UPC notes from the meeting can be found in the Appendix 2.7-I.

The main outcome of the meeting can be summarized as follows: Estidama 1 Pearl will be a regulatory requirement for all buildings in Abu Dhabi as of September 2010 For governmental funded projects 2 Pearl rating will apply as a minimum requirement Estidama certification will require GF to include the Central Utility Building

issues, decisions need to be taken and monitor progress.

2.6.5 | International Energy Conservation Code Review

The International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) is a building code created by the International Code Council and is updated every three years. It establishes minimum standards for energy efficient buildings using prescriptive and performance-based provisions for residential and commercial buildings. The codes intent is to establish criteria for energy conservation with provisions that do not unnecessarily increase construction costs. It addresses the energy efficiency requirements for the design, materials, and equipment used for new buildings construction, renovations, and construction techniques. The Code applies to: Wall, floor, and ceiling Doors and windows Heating, ventilating, and cooling systems and equipment Lighting systems and equipment Water-heating systems and equipment. Materials

ProjectSustainabilityCharrettes
Sustainability Charrettes, one for each building type, will be undertaken at the programming stage to ensure that client values are considered at an early stage of the design. The main objective of these Charrettes is to assess each building anticipated rating, evaluate different design strategies, identify challenges and opportunities, as well as credit synergies and facilitate decision making process. During the Charrettes the Preliminary Estidama scorecards (please refer to Appendix) will be used to guide the brainstorming discussions. Key Project Stakeholders that will be engaged during the workshops are: GF Sustainability, Design Technical Leads (Mechanical, Electrical, Water Building Systems, Water Processes Systems, Architect, Planning Team, and Logistics). The main output of the workshops will be a revised set of the Preliminary Estidama Scorecards incorporating the input from various project stakeholders, while taking into consideration various client decisions during the evaluation process.

Table 2.6 -2 below includes a high level review of the IECC for commercial buildings. At later stages during the design the project team should review criteria for each building type to determine if provisions are achievable. The industrial nature of the FAB and CUB buildings and high-hazard provisions of the 2009 International Building Code (IBC) may warrant review of applicability. IBC provisions (based on life safety) shall supersede energy criteria. The advantages to IECC compliance include sustainable development, reduced consumption, enhancing quality of living and reducing energy costs. Other 2009 I-codes

2.6.6 | Integrated Sustainability Decision Model and Cost Benefit Analysis

The Infrastructure Sustainability Decision Model (ISDM), developed by CH2M HILL, takes a triple bottom line approach, along with targeted Building certification requirements, to guide design, construction, materials

management, and operational decisions. The ISDM for GF will be arranged to assess various scenarios for two building types of the first development phase (AD-01) of the GF FAB Park: Administration building and the Industrial unit (FAB) including CUB.

PG.11

Page | 2.6-11

ParametersToBeConsidered
The Decision Model has the capability to assess strategies on the following infrastructure components: Potable Water Energy Solid Waste Management (For office Building only) Embodied Carbon (Material Selection for: Concrete, Rebar, Structural Steel)

technologies while various measures will be compared against BAU by indicating the capital cost, energy demand and O&M cost variance. Water: scenarios will consider Make-up Air Units (MAU) condensate water reclamation, FAB water reclamation etc. Energy: scenarios will consider measures such as use of dual temperature chilled water system, MAU Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), Utilization of Fan Energy for Reheat, Premium Efficiency Motors etc. Embodied Carbon: will provide options to choose different materials for Concrete, Rebar and Structural Steel

ScenariosToBeDeveloped
The model has the capability to assess up to 5 scenarios. The data will be arranged so as to assess Business as Usual (BAU) case against various conservation measures in line building certification credit goals, which will be defined as percent reduction of water, waste, energy from BAU. The different scenarios for both building types shall consider the following: Administration Building BAU: will be established based on previous experience in Abu Dhabi Water: scenarios will consider water conservation fixtures Energy: scenarios will consider measures such as Higher Thickness of Roof Insulation, Triple Glazing etc. Solid Waste Management scenarios will include waste segregation and reuse. Embodied Carbon: will provide options to choose different materials for Concrete, Rebar and Structural Steel FAB Unit Baseline will be established based on common practices or BAU

ISDMOutput
The ISDM for GF will have the capability to run various scenarios on water, energy, materials and waste strategies to be considered with the associated capital and operational costs as a result of saving energy, water and using sustainable materials. The model capabilities are presented in the Appendix with a dashboard arrangement demonstrating high level calculations on capital cost and additional cost & carbon saving during operation per building type.

2.6.7 | Technical Design Guidelines

In order to achieve the required building certification system, it is important to incorporate relevant requirements into the design guidelines and project specifications. A set of preliminary guidelines has been developed to ensure the implementation of the required strategies with regards to Construction Waste Management, Construction Indoor Air Quality, Minimum

Identify credits relevant to the project scope, building use, overall vision and GF corporate policies Identify Credits that can be easily achieved with minimum effort and least additional cost Identify potential opportunities that can be refined via ROI analysis in Design phase Identify Credits that require further screening between the project stakeholders through Sustainability Charrettes at this initial stage Provide an initial evaluation of the buildings expected rating while identifying challenges and opportunities Assist in decision making for GF and Design Team to follow certain design strategies Identify follow up tasks in order to facilitate credit intent implementation

progresses to the construction phase the team can monitor actual performance for each intended credit. The preliminary scorecards, since are developed at an early stage with limited information available, followed a rather conservative approach. Easy to achieve credits, with minimum effort or additional cost, were identified as intended (Yes), while a larger number of credits were indicated as possible with the intention of generating brainstorming discussions within the design team (Sustainability Charrettes, Section 3) and propose different options of design strategies for GF to consider.

For an effective strategy, we decided to focus on concrete, structural steel and rebar as they are the major materials with significant impact for AD01 development. A rough initial estimate of materials for AD01 is indicated below: Concrete: 120,000 cubic meters Steel: 14,000 metric tons Rebar: 5,000 metric tons

AL FALAH READY MIX

The suppliers listed below are based in the UAE. This list is indicative and it requires further investigation to identify additional local suppliers and evaluate their building products against Estidama requirements. It is recommended therefore, that a comprehensive pre-qualification process for suppliers is established at the design stage of the project to evaluate sustainability performance of their products (together with other criteria such as cost, availability, delivery timeframe etc.) and identify potential strategic partnerships.

AL FALAH READY MIX owns 36 production plants strategically located over the UAE. They have established around 20 Batch Plants in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, which operate under an integrated Management System for Quality, Environment, Occupational Health & Safety, accredited and certified according to ISO 9001:2000, ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007. Their green concrete uses re-cycled materials and byproducts from other industrial processes (such as GGBS and Pulverizes Fuel Ash) in order to reduce Portland cement and carbon impacts. Al Falah can provide an on-site batching plant working as partner with GF on the development of green concrete. UNIBETON Unibeton is present in the UAE for about 30 years with six production branches, with two to three Batching Plants in operation for each branch, within the Abu Dhabi emirate. They are accredited to QHS&E (Quality ISO 9001, Health & Safety OHSAS 18001, and Environment ISO 14001) Management System. Unibeton, recently introduced a new technology called iCrete applied for the production of optimized concrete and is closely working with UPC regarding concrete mixtures that would satisfy Estidama requirements.

Concrete
CastinPlace
The manufacturing of cement is one of the most CO2 intensive processes on the planet. It is estimated that 6% of the worlds carbon production will come from the manufacturing of cement. Cement is also one of the most widely utilized building materials as it is a key ingredient to the ready mix concrete production and usage. The concrete mixtures incorporating recycledcontent, Portland-cement-reducing admixtures such as fly-ash are desirable in order to obtain Material Selection related Credits under Estidama building rating system. Products listed below incorporate recycled content or have desirable environmental attributes:

Recycled materials used in place of mined stone aggregate - such as slag, a byproduct of steel production ease landfill burdens and can improve the concrete's strength-to-weight ratio and thermal properties. Products listed here incorporate recycled content or have other desirable environmental qualities. GULF CEMENT CO Gulf Cement Company claims annual production capacity of 2.5 million tons cement and 1.3 million tons clinker. GCC has been awarded with ISO 9002:1994, ISO 9001:2000, ISO 14001:2002. GCC grinds and sells pulverised slag as Ground Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) complying with BS 6699. Also, their product carries the BSI KITEMARK. SHARJAH CEMENT FACTORY Sharjah Cement Factory produces Portland Cement, Moderate Sulfate - Resisting Portland Cement, Sulfate - Resisting Portland Cement, Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag. GGBS produced is manufactured to comply with the requirement of BS 6699 and exceeds the minimum strength and fineness requirement by a considerable margin. Their product carries the BSI KITEMARK.

Mammut Technocrete (MTC) was formed in 2005 to manufacture pre-cast concrete products for the contracting sector. Their factory commenced supply to the UAE market within the year of 2005 with the ability to provide material with recycled concrete. Using precast concrete has the following advantages: 100% Elimination of slab formwork 50/75 % reduction of slab reinforcement work 15/50 % reduction of slab concreting work

ReinforcingSteel(Rebar)
A rebar, or reinforcing bar, is a common steel bar, and is commonly used in reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures. It is usually formed from carbon steel, and is given ridges for better mechanicalanchoring

intotheconcrete.

PrecastConcreteSlabs
For the production of precast concrete, concrete is cast in a reusable mould, cured in a controlled environment, transported to the construction site and lifted into place.
