Background Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (ADFEC), also known as Masdar, plans to build an energy, science and technologygreen community in Abu Dhabi, between Khalifa City and Abu Dhabi International Airport. The community, covering 6 million sq.m., will house Masdar Institute of Science and Technology (6% of thedevelopment), research labs (24%), residential village (30%), commercial offices and light manufacturing facilities (13%),service and transportation(19%), and shopping, leisure and cultural facilities (8%) in a "green" science park with atargeted "net-zero" carbon target. The project's infrastructure will include an underground rapid transport system (as it will be inaccessible to cars), rail andpublic transport routes, and other renewable energy infrastructure projects that lead to carbon emission reductions byfocusing on CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS). WSP company was commissioned by Foster & Partners, the master planner, to develop the infrastructure strategies forwaste management, drainage and treatment of water and sewage, energy and power distribution network, systems for ITand telecommunications including all the necessary infrastructures systems (security, fire sprinkler, cooling and wirelessnetworks). The development will use photovoltaic technologies for energy generation and solar power for the cooling system andwater desalination plant. It will be car free, powered by renewable energy with services digitally managed and providingreal time information. The city will be surrounded by wind, photovoltaic farms (500 MW), research fields and plantations; these will be built afterthe construction of the photovoltaic power plant is completed. The research-based university (which will start receivingstudents in 2009), photovoltaic power plant and the headquarters of Masdar's global operations will be spread over 2 sq.km of the total area, and will be the first to be constructed. Execution of the project will take place in 7 phases, starting with the development of energy generation facility andinfrastructure works. The remaining 6 phases will include the construction of facilities. Phase 1 consists of MIST Universityand Masdar's headquarters, phase 2 consists of offices and residential units, phase 3 consists of ADFEC headquartersand public buildings, phase 4 consists of the community center, phase 5 consists of the Science Centre Complex, andphase 6 consists of the residential and technology park.
