• Doha to play home to Msheireb complex, the world’s largest collection of LEED certified buildings


  • Doha, Qatar, has gone a step further to ensure a less-threatening carbon footprint and will soon play home to the one-of-a-kind building complex called Msheireb. What sets this one apart from the rest is the fact that this complex will sport the world’s largest collection of LEED certified buildings and will be built in preparation for the 2022 World Cup. Spreading over an area of 31 hectares located in downtown Doha, the Msheireb complex will incorporate traditional Arabian architecture and modern-day green technology. Using smart grid technology, well designed alleys and streets that encourage wind circulation, thicker walls to keep home interiors cooler and a lot more, the Msheireb complex will soon be Doha’s crown jewel.
