AECOM was selected to provide a range of services including an optimized, sustainable design and low-carbon construction for the new Siemens Headquarters located within the city.<\/p>\n<p>Our integrated team of experts designed an external shading system using air-tight construction and low-carbon materials to ensure that the building&#8217;s envelope met the client\u2019s high performance goals regarding wind resistance, day-lighting and water tightness.<\/p>\n<p>The building was constructed using high recycled content concrete, an inexpensive, strong and versatile material, which increased resistance to harsh chemicals such as chlorine present in Masdar\u2019s environment.<\/p>\n<p>Despite facing the challenge of working under a tight schedule and strict building specification targets and guidelines, our team was able to deliver a low carbon building that achieved a LEED Core and Shell Platinum certification and met all Masdar&#8217;s sustainability key performance indicators.
