GSAS Development Process
.: System Development Methodology Background
Development of an Energy Standard and Sustainability Assessment System (QSAS) for Barwa/Diar and the State of Qatar
Project Overview_process chart
Screening Stage 1_framework assessment criteria
[Scope]To what extent does the system provide total building evaluation as opposed to evaluating an individual design feature?
[Applicability]Can the rating system be used on all building types?
[Adaptability]How capable is the rating system in adapting to local situation?
[Transparency]Does the rating system publicly reveal its assessment method?Does the rating system provide documentation regarding the underlining intentions of the sustainability performance?
[Relevance]Does the assessment tool address effectively the local ecosystem and intentions of the regulator?
Screening Stage 1 involved generating a defined set of screening criteria to evaluate the 40 systems.The capacity of each framework was judged on the following criteria:

System Framework
.: Scoring & Weighting
Development of an Energy Standard and Sustainability Assessment System (QSAS) for Barwa/Diar and the State of Qatar
Weighting- Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)
DEFINITIONAHP is a systematic decision-making method whereby stakeholders determine the relative importance or weights of a series of factors by comparing one factor to another. The comparisons are carried out on a 9-point intensity scale for all unique pairs of factors.
3 STEPS1. Define factors based on the main objective of the project [Chan Center]2. Determine the relative importance of each factor by pair-wise comparison
[Stakeholders]3. Verify logical consistency between factors [Chan Center]
HISTORYBased on mathematics and human psychology, it was developed by Thomas L. Saatyin the 1970s and since then has been extensively studied and refined. The AHP method provides a comprehensive and rational framework for structuring a problem, representing and quantifying its elements, relating those elements to overall goals, and evaluating alternative solutions. It is used throughout the world in a wide variety of decision situations, in fields such as government, business, industry, healthcare, and education.

.: Energy Standard
Development of an Energy Standard and Sustainability Assessment System (QSAS) for Barwa/Diar and the State of Qatar
Overall objective
Support new building codes in that mandate reductions in fossil energy
consumption based on an energy performance standard
Steps in the development
1.Select appropriate baseline for standard
• Choose between CEN-ISO (Europe), ASHRAE (USA) or hybrid
2.Validate the use in local context
• Choose validation test set of buildings
• Identify the need for local provisions (special buildings, district cooling, etc.)
3.Add local provisions
4.Develop accompanying documentation
• Special provisions and design guidelines
5.Prepare the development of building codes referencing the new standard

Construction & Operations Schemes
Construction Management Scheme
(Construction Practices)
Provides information on the assessment of the aspects of the
construction process that has a lasting environmental impact and
considers what impacts the project can mitigate. It requires a thorough
review of the contractors practices during the execution stage of the
project to ensure its adherence to sustainability during that stage.
Operations
(Existing – Renovations – (EPL – WPL)
Provides information for the evaluation of the environmental impact of
building operations, verifies the original design intent, evaluate
changes made through renovations and changes, and considers what
impacts the project can mitigate.
The scheme is comprehensive and can be used to assess existing
buildings and renovated ones. It also encompasses assessment of
energy performance (EPL) and water performance (WPL).
