With the launch of 'The Future Build', the Middle East region's green building industry is getting a major boost. Now, architects, engineers and contractors finally have a home-grown online database of environmentally sustainable, third party-certified and locally available construction materials.
An initiative of Masdar City, 'The Future Build' will feature all products and materials that have been assessed and selected according to the same standards and criteria that it uses to build and operate one of the most sustainable cities on earth. If you are a supplier, there is no better platform to demonstrate the true sustainability of your product. And for specifiers working in the region, 'The Future Build' speeds and simplifies your work - both by helping you source materials that you can count on, and by clearly displaying the eco-benefits of each product.
Listings include a brief product description, supplier contact information and then an assessment of the product across 12 sustainability criteria: • Recycled content • Renewable energy • Reusable • Biobased material • Recycled packaging • Volatile organic compound (VOC) content • Embodied carbon • Durability • Maintenance/cleaning • Availability • Code of conduct • Indicative price With leading suppliers and specifiers already relying on 'The Future Build', this platform is fast emerging as the preferred marketplace for listing and sourcing sustainable construction materials.
