First LEED Platinum certified building in Jordan.
A simple rectilinear form and an interesting flow of interior space are the basic elements that define the school design. The design approach focused creating a creative and stimulating learning environment for students of the IB Diploma College.
Motorized vertical louvers distinguish the design of the elevation, providing protection from the hot summer sun while allowing sunlight in during the winter thus increasing energy efficiency.
The IB Diploma College was the first project in Jordan awarded the LEED Platinum certification for green sustainable buildings. It is the first LEED Platinum School building in the entire MENA region, and only the fourth Platinum certified school building outside the US.
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is one of the most popular green building certification programs used worldwide. It includes a set of rating systems for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of green buildings in order to help building owners and operators be environmentally responsible and use resources efficiently.
Congratulations to the ABS Community and to all those who helped and supported the vision, design and construction of this wonderful addition to the ABS campus.
