Tarshid Headquarters in Riyadh Achieves LEED Platinum Certification, Setting Regional Benchmark
The National Energy Services Company (Tarshid) announced today that its headquarters in Riyadh has received the prestigious LEED Platinum certification in the "Interior Design, Operations, and Maintenance" category from the US Green Building Council. Scoring an impressive 96 points, the facility now ranks as the highest-rated LEED-certified building in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region—second only to one building worldwide.
This achievement marks a significant milestone in Tarshid’s sustainability journey and reinforces its leadership in energy efficiency and green building practices. It builds upon last year’s accomplishment, when the same building earned LEED Platinum status in the "Interior Design and Construction for Commercial Buildings" category.
The latest certification underscores Tarshid’s ongoing commitment to implementing international standards in sustainable construction, energy conservation, and environmental responsibility.
Located on King Abdullah Road in Riyadh, the building features a distinctive architectural design with an external façade that reduces thermal loads and maximizes natural lighting. These elements lower energy demand and enhance the building’s capacity to utilize solar energy.
Inside, the facility is equipped with advanced energy management systems, including motion detectors, daylight harvesting sensors, carbon dioxide monitors, and an integrated Building Management System (BMS). Rooftop solar panels also contribute to its dynamic and eco-efficient energy ecosystem.
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum is the highest global certification for sustainability, energy performance, and innovative building design.
