Multi-Comfort First

Saint-Gobain to develop positive-energy home in Masdar City

Through the use of high-performance materials and construction methods, Multi-Comfort House will produce more energy than it consumes.

The project, which is scheduled to complete by 2019, was announced during the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Masdar.

Yousef Baselaib, Masdar’s executive director of sustainable real estate, commented: “Masdar City is a hub for innovation and sustainability, and a natural home for Saint-Gobain to showcase its state-of-the-art capabilities in sustainable living.”

Hady Nassif, general delegate - Saint-Gobain, Middle East, added: “For 350 years, we consistently demonstrated our ability to invent products that improve quality of life. We share Masdar’s commitment to creating a more sustainable future for the generations to come, and our Multi-Comfort House is proof of that commitment.”

The Masdar City unit will be the first of its kind to be developed by Saint-Gobain in the Middle East. The house will be fully adapted to the arid conditions of the UAE, according to its developer and Constructionweekonline news report.

Our Multi-Comfort House concept covers all aspects of comfortable home living, and extends to tertiary amenities such as offices, shops, and public buildings.

A total of 18 Multi-Comfort House projects have already been built around the world since it developed the concept in 2004.
