Introduction

MEP Summit Qatar 2011 Achieving Cost Effective Sustainable MEP Solutions

Introduction
This presentation has been prepared to firstly identify the drivers for sustainable construction and the focuses on importance of water and energy conservation. In order to ensure sustainable solutions the presentation looks at what technologies are available within Qatar. The process to ensure cost effective sustainable MEP solutions is considered along with the utilization of the tools necessary to guide designers how to demonstrate targeted and achieve energy efficient solutions .

Climate Change and the Built Environment

MEP Summit Qatar 2011 Achieving Cost Effective Sustainable MEP Solutions

Climate Change
Climate change and global warming are unequivocally the biggest and most fundamental problems facing planet earth and mankind today. Global warming and climate change are expected to have a cataclysmic effect across the globe. The worst effects of climate change can be avoided if greenhouse gases incorporating carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere are stabilised instead of being allowed to increase.

Environmental Targets

Kyoto Protocol Cut overall emissions of greenhouse gases by 5.2% below 1990 levels by 2008-2012 Qatar Ratified their commitment on the 11th Jan 05. Qatar is a member of the G77 and subsequently does not have any reduction targets as Qatar is considered a developing country. Qatar Commitment Qatar has a vision whereby construction projects should consider becoming sustainable with no specific international target. Local requirements for Qsas have been implemented to achieve this vision.

The Importance of Energy and Water Conservation

Energy
Energy relates to carbon which in turn is accelerating climate change The built environment contributes 50% of overall carbon emissions LEED focuses on energy reduction (one credit most points available) Passive and active solutions to reduce energy Water in the Middle East is precious Droughts Water models are required to justify water conservation

Availability of Green Technology

MEP Summit Qatar 2011 Achieving Cost Effective Sustainable MEP Solutions

Availability of Sustainable Technology

The Middle East is going Green / Sustainable All leading manufacturers and suppliers have green technologies available The industry needs to ensure technologies to reduce the cost in the long term Solar collectors have very low payback periods Photovoltaic panels are expensive and hence longer payback periods Solar chillers (Absorption chillers with solar collectors) Building Thermal Mass Storage Systems

MEP Summit Qatar 2011 Achieving Cost Effective Sustainable MEP Solutions

Utilizing Design Tools that Help Quantify Sustainable MEP Solutions

Energy modeling, or energy simulation, is a method for predicting the energy consumption of a building. The analysis considers the buildings numerous thermal characteristics including the materials of the walls and rest of the building envelope, the size and orientation of the building, how the building is occupied and operated, and the local climate.
