Tarshid Headquarters In Riyadh Earns LEED Platinum Certification, Leading Sustainability Efforts In The Region

The National Energy Services Company, known as Tarshid, has announced a remarkable achievement. Its headquarters in Riyadh has been awarded the prestigious LEED Platinum certification in the "Interior Design, Operations, and Maintenance" category by the US Green Building Council. With an impressive score of 96 points, this facility is now the highest-rated LEED-certified building in Saudi Arabia and the MENA region, second globally.

LEED Platinum represents the pinnacle of global recognition for sustainability, energy efficiency, and innovative building design. This latest certification highlights Tarshid's dedication to international standards in sustainable construction and environmental responsibility. The company continues to lead in energy efficiency and green building practices.

Last year, Tarshid's headquarters also achieved LEED Platinum status in the "Interior Design and Construction for Commercial Buildings" category. This new certification builds on that success, further cementing its commitment to sustainability. The building's unique architectural design includes an external façade that reduces thermal loads while maximising natural light.

Inside the facility, advanced energy management systems are installed. These include motion detectors, daylight harvesting sensors, carbon dioxide monitors, and an integrated Building Management System (BMS). These technologies work together to optimise energy use within the building.

The building also features rooftop solar panels that contribute to its dynamic energy ecosystem. These elements collectively lower energy demand and enhance the building’s ability to harness solar power effectively.

Situated on King Abdullah Road in Riyadh, Tarshid's headquarters boasts a distinctive architectural design. The external façade is designed to minimise thermal loads while enhancing natural lighting. This design not only reduces energy consumption but also supports solar energy utilisation.

This achievement is a significant milestone in Tarshid’s journey towards sustainability. It underscores their leadership role in promoting energy-efficient practices within the region.

This accomplishment reinforces Tarshid's ongoing commitment to implementing international standards for sustainable construction and environmental stewardship. Their efforts continue to set benchmarks for others in the industry.
