for the environmentally friendly parking building project at Garhoud
Dubai, 26 April 2021: Dubai Municipality has won first place in the International Architecture Award in the Green Good Design category for the car parking building project in Garhoud.
The parking building that consists of a ground floor and five additional floors, built on an area of 7,539 square meters, is strategically located near a group of important government facilities such as the Personal Status Court, the RTA building in Garhoud and the Dubai Municipality building in Garhoud, in addition to a group of neighboring schools.
The award is organized by the European Centre for Architecture, Art Design and Urban Studies and the Chicago Athenaeum represented by the Museum of Architecture and Design. The Green Design Award monitors the most important global examples of sustainable design, and is working on developing an awareness program about international companies and institutions that do the best environmental and sustainable designs.

The rooftop was used as covered car parking area using solar panels connected to the DEWA network. The capacity of the solar energy system in the Garhoud building consists of 1,530 solar panels, with 500 KW capacity, covering an area of 2,494 square meters, and the carbon footprint of the building is equivalent to rationalizing the production of 143.7 tons of carbon dioxide annually.
