in collaboration with Saudi Arabia
Accredited Fronds (Sa’af), a green labeled
system by SGBF, and SASO will include
products available locally to the 700 plus
registered green-building specialists, contractors, and other stakeholders.
In March 2014, the Presidency of
Meteorology and Environment (PME)
announced that all companies must meet
new air, water, and noise pollution standards in five years. All projects must fit
into Saudi’s plan for international development, and meet international standards
as part of the environmental plan to protect Saudi’s health and natural resources.
GSH is an aggregator of such green policies and international standards.
SGBF Resources powered by GSH
will provide members access to its mar-
ketplace and catalog of green products
and vendors. Developers can showcase
their projects and best-practices on GSH’s
GreenWall microblog platform and mo-
bile app. Local vendors and international
greentech manufacturers will be able to
list products in the portal, and consul-
tants will have access to the resource,
many with SASO and Sa’af certifications.
