MASDAR CITY

Masdar City is the world’s first zero-carbon city enterprise, based in Abu Dhabi. It is one of the world’s most sustainable developments and is home to the International Renewable Energy Agency. 

A selection of Hadley Steel Framing profiles have been used by the development team in a number of structural projects across the region including the Etihad Eco-Residence. Hadley SFS forms part of the structure’s airtight building envelope. Together with the project’s partners, this structural work has resulted in a 63% reduction in total energy consumption, when compared to the Estidama PBRS baseline.
