3.1 billion square feet. 2,700+ projects. That’s how much of Qatar’s built environment now carries a GSAS green building rating.

2025 added around 200 new projects to that count, with 150+ receiving recognition for design and construction quality.

Projects like Vodafone’s HQ, The View Hospital, Lusail City, and Gewan Island.

The institutions behind it are the ones that shape Qatar’s physical infrastructure: Ashghal, Qatar Foundation, PHCC. When they commit to a standard, the market follows.

The biggest development this year: the GCC Standardization Organization officially adopted GSAS as GSO 3000:2025.

Capacity-building is already underway across KSA, Kuwait, Oman, and Algeria.

GORD Institute has recently been awarded Cycle 3 funding under the Qatar–Spain Innovation Program, supported by QRDI.

In collaboration with Spanish partner Blue Room Innovation, with support from CDTI, we are introducing EPIC-DATA. Environmental Performance Information for Construction: Digitalisation and Traceability Applications.
The project focuses on developing and enhancing life cycle assessment (LCA) databases relevant to Qatar and the Gulf region, enabling more accurate environmental and economic assessments for the built environment using locally relevant materials. It also supports the development of digital product passports for carbon accounting, in alignment with CBAM requirements. This is a significant step forward for sustainability transparency in the region.
