On a 4,200 sqm plot of land, ECOnsult designed and built eight buildings to accommodate 120 people, including workers’ and engineers' residences, a VIP house, a cafeteria, a clinic, meeting rooms, training rooms, and a worship area. Located in the Western Desert, where temperatures in the summer can reach 50 degrees Celsius, the complex now operates without the need for energy-intensive air conditioning units. Integrated into the design were key features that dissipate and control heat and reduce GHG emissions by applying affordable, low-tech solutions. As a result, the rooms’ temperatures remain at a comfortable 19 to 26 degrees Celsius throughout the year. The Bahareya Farm Complex is 100% powered by a solar energy micro-grid that saves 155 tons of CO2 and reduces energy costs by 23,000 USD annually. Additionally, the complex was designed to use 65% less water and 64% less energy than conventional building practices by deploying smart design-first architectural solutions that, among other things, illustrate and prove how to dissipate and manage heat in buildings through design while improving the livelihoods of its inhabitants. The Village received three Tarsheed certifications from the Egyptian Green Building Council for its energy, water, and habitat saving measures, which reached platinum and gold levels.
