Dr. Yousef Mohamed Al Horr,
FoundING Chairman
GORD has come a long way since pioneering the Global

Sustainability Assessment System (GSAS), formerly known as
(GSAS), the Middle Easts first integrated and performancebased green building assessment rating system in 2009.
Our mission to encourage the development and implementation
of sustainability principles and imperatives stems from the
sustainable goals outlined in His Highness, The Emir Sheikh
Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thanis Qatar National Vision 2030,
which aims to achieve sustainable economic development and
environmental leadership.
GSAS draws from top-tier global sustainability systems and adds new facets and
dimensions to the current practices in assessing the sustainability of the built environment.
Modelled on best practices from the most established global rating schemes including,
but not limited to, BREEAM (United Kingdom), LEED (United States), GREEN GLOBES
(Canada), CEPAS (Hong Kong), CASBEE (Japan), and the International SBTOOL, GSAS
has grown into a pan-regional system offering a comprehensive framework, and equally
flexible to incorporate the specific needs of the local context of different regions. In Qatar,
GSAS is currently the only rating scheme to be acknowledged by Qatar Construction
Specifications (QCS 2010).
Primary goals of GSAS include creating a better living environment, minimizing
resource consumption and reducing environmental degradation due to the fast pace
of urbanization taking place in this era. Such objectives, coupled with the increasing
evidence of climate change effects on a global level, have contributed strongly to the
unprecedented pace of adaptation to sustainability practices not only in the developed
countries, but also in developing countries at a pace that is unexpected.
GSAS Version 2.0 has become the most comprehensive system, to date, that addresses
the built environment from a macro level to a micro level targeting a wide range of
building typologies. The new system will have design assessments for all typologies
integrated into one comprehensive manual. The manual provides recommendations
and guidelines for the effective implementation of the sustainability goals of each
criterion. As more research is carried out on the rating system, the manuals will be
further developed to keep users informed on updates within the constantly evolving
GSAS rating systems.
I would like to acknowledge the efforts and contributions from the State of Qatar, all
our members, and international partners-especially the TC Chan Center for Building
Simulation and Energy Studies at the University of Pennsylvania and the Centers
associated consultants who helped establish the system and take it into new dimensions.
Last but not least, the continuous support from Qatari Diar Real estate Investment
Company is highly appreciated, and without its support, GSAS would not be able to
achieve what it has achieved in such a short time.
