TOP 10 – SMART BUILDINGS

LOCATION: SHARJAH, UNITED ARAB EMIRATESS

COMPLETED: 2022 DEVELOPER: BEEAH GROUP

NOTABLE FEATURE: A DEDICATED SOLAR FARM PAIRED WITH TESLA BATTERY STORAGE

Fittingly for the headquarters of an environmental management company, this dune-shaped Zaha Hadid design runs on its own power supply. A ground-mounted solar plant charges Tesla battery packs, meeting the building’ s energy demand around the clock, day and night alike. Opened in 2022 and billed as the first AI-powered building in the UAE, it has since achieved both BREEAM Outstanding and LEED Platinum certification. Inside, an AI-driven management system automatically adjusts lighting and temperature, trimming energy consumption by around 30 %.
