Forbes International Tower stands as a remarkable example of sustainable progress and architectural excellence. Designed to blend seamlessly with the environment, this groundbreaking tower aims for LEED Platinum and ILFI Zero Carbon certifications, positioning itself as one of the most sustainable buildings in the world.
Strategic partnerships with industry leaders such as Schneider Electric and H2-Enterprises have led to the tower's most revolutionary feature: the integration of Clean Hydrogen as its primary energy source. This innovative solution not only powers the tower's operations, enabling it to run completely off the grid but also allows for a surplus of renewable energy to be produced and delivered back to the grid. This capability enables the tower to achieve a net-negative carbon footprint, marking it as one of the world’s first buildings to reach this milestone.
The tower also boasts the highest volume of Building Integrated Photovoltaic Panels (BIPV) installed on its facade, designed to generate as much solar energy as possible. This additional energy, estimated to meet around 25% of the tower's electrical needs, represents pure surplus electricity that can help clean the electrical grids in surrounding communities in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the UAE. As such, Forbes International Tower will play a pivotal role in contributing renewable energy to the city's electrical infrastructure.
Forbes International Tower encapsulates the essence of art, architecture, and sustainability, coupled with unparalleled smart technology integration. Setting new standards for the future of office spaces creates a blueprint for future developments, the tower positions itself as a beacon of innovation & environmental stewardship, heralding a new era of sustainable urban development and a winner of the TITAN Property Awards.
