The project will be situated on a massive 90,000 square meter plot in the emirate of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates, with the headquarters themselves measuring 7,000 square meters. The project is looking to gain LEED Platinum certification, and will likely run solely using [renewable energy sources](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muraba-veil). The building will also serve as a center of learning to promote environmental awareness in the area. It is oriented in order to maximize breeze for natural ventilation. The Bee'ah headquarter's energy needs will be met by a massive solar panel array, while energy will also be harnessed from recycled waste which will be converted in a waste processing plant nearby. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **LEED Platinum Certification:** Opportunity for companies to develop innovative solutions for sustainable building design and construction to meet LEED Platinum Certification standards. - **Renewable Energy Sources:** Potential for businesses to disrupt traditional energy industries by developing and implementing renewable energy sources on a large scale. - **Waste Processing:** Emerging opportunity for companies to create disruptive waste processing technologies that convert waste into usable energy and resources. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture and Construction:** The architecture and construction industry can leverage LEED Platinum Certification requirements to drive the development of eco-friendly buildings and infrastructure. - **Renewable Energy:** The renewable energy industry can benefit from the shift towards renewable energy sources by providing innovative solutions and technologies. - **Waste Management:** The waste management industry has the potential to revolutionize waste processing techniques and create sustainable solutions for waste treatment and energy generation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Emirati-Inspired Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/symphony-tower.md) - [Desert Cultural Landmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/al-ain-museum.md) - [Rain-Collecting Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bpas-architects.md) - [Futuristic Hospital Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jawaher-boston-medical-district.md) - [Plaza-Surrounding Housing Complexes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/h-residence.md) - [Glass Facade Premium Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/henderson-office.md) - [Large Headquarter-Transformed Housing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hayes-park-central.md) - [Immersive Breeze Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breeze-houses.md) - [Sand Dune-Inspired Airport Roofs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-pedersen-fox.md)
