Forbes Int’l Tower in Egypt to be 1st world skyscraper to register for ILFI Zero Carbon Certificate
Forbes International Tower due to be set in Egypt’s New Administrative Capital will become the first skyscraper in the world to register for Zero Carbon Certificate from the International Living Future Institute.
The tower – to be implemented under a partnership between Magnom Properties and Forbes – is planned to be net-zero carbon footprint building with its 43 floors due to be powered by clean hydrogen and supplemented by solar panels on its facade.
The eco-friendly Forbes International Tower is a 240 meter (787 feet) tall office building due to be established close to the Iconic Tower – Africa’s tallest building.
Envisioned by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture (AS+GG Architecture), the Forbes International Tower marks the start of a new era of building design as Magnom Properties, a subsidiary of Rawabi Holding, pushes the boundaries of modern construction to pursue a zero-carbon strategy in collaboration with Forbes.
Powered by 75%hydrogen and 25% photovoltaics, the building would not rely on a traditional power grid, according to Magnom, its developer.
Magnom said constructing with materials with “low-embodied carbon” — materials with reduced associated emissions via their sourcing, manufacture and eventual disposal or reuse — could cut the carbon footprint of its construction by 58%. Meanwhile, water recycling and treatment on site will reduce freshwater demand.
The Forbes International Tower adheres to the highest standards of green building principles and will utilize several advanced technologies in partnership with leading global partners to drive energy efficiency and reduce emissions.
