adaa Sustainable Development Consultants was established in 2017, with a great passion for making sustainable changes in the local and regional built environment.

adaa is an independent, innovative consultancy that works with engineers, architects, and developers in the MENA region to optimize the quality of their designs.

adaa helps to design, construct, and operate more effective structures that consume less energy, water, and resources while being comfortable for occupants by applying state-of-the-art simulations and best practice methodologies in analyzing the overall performance of the project.

The experts at adaa combine international experience in urban planning, architecture, electromechanical, and sustainability, backed by education and accreditation, with a focus on sustainable environmental design, linking architectural and engineering creations to environmental sciences, building physics, and performance simulation.

adaa is playing a role in redefining what a ‘good building’ is. Traditionally, a good building is an aesthetically appealing structure that has all the required functions provided in a good, smooth manner. But with understanding the importance a building plays in achieving thermal comfort, healthy space, and efficient resource consumption, adaa is adding another element to the definition of a good building which is ‘good performance’.

adaa supports public and private sector clients in a diverse range of markets at every stage, from the initial conceptualization to project completion and beyond.

From mission critical facilities or high-end commercial projects to industrial, healthcare, and leisure developments, the adaa team has the knowledge and skill set to meet even the most complex of requirements.

Guided by the motto “Optimizing the World, One Building at a Time.” adaa has achieved a significant impact in various areas. This includes optimizing over 65 buildings, totaling a floor space exceeding 1,000,000 sqm. The commitment of adaa extends to training and equipping more than 2,500 professionals worldwide with sustainable expertise, and operating in over 7 countries.

Furthermore, adaa has successfully delivered more than 32 LEED administration buildings, over 16 EDGE administration buildings, and completed over 17 design optimization projects. These achievements underscore the unwavering dedication of adaa to positively impact the built environment through environmentally conscious and efficient practices.
