King Abdullah University of Science and Technology

CARES is partnering with the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and Dar Al-Hekma College, a private women's college in Jeddah, on research that will aid the development of a sustainable engineering infrastructure and the adoption of sustainable technologies and practices within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.


There are five research objectives for this project:

(1) Conduct user needs assessments of individuals, communities, and universities within the KSA in areas of sustainability.

(2) Develop sustainability metrics to evaluate the sustainability of individuals, communities, and universities within the KSA.

(3) Identify sustainability assessment tools to quantify the current sustainability levels and the energy consumption, water consumption, and climate changing GHG emissions associated with the activities of individuals, communities, and universities within the KSA.

(4) Develop a technology and infrastructure roadmap in the areas of sustainable energy, carbon management and water utilization (e.g., solar cells, solar hot water heaters, grey water, wind turbines, energy-efficient consumer products) for the KSA.

(5) Create an online system that will contain a database of the research findings, recommendations, and suppliers within the Middle East to enhance the implementation of sustainable solutions proposed by this research project in the KSA.
