The facility management station buildings are 500sq.m administrational buildings for the natural reserves in both Yarmouk & Ghour Fifa areas. Both are owned & managed by the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN) & were designed as examples for green buildings in reference to energy, water & natural resources consumption.

To achieve the desired maximum energy reduction the following formula has been used & implemented through several strategies: To reduce energy demand needed for heating/cooling; best building orientation, proper window sizing & depth, very tight & well insulated envelope were the basic strategies followed, then efficient mechanical systems & efficient lighting systems were used to reduce the need for energy too & solar thermal heating and PV panels to produce energy from renewable sources reduced the demand on electrical and fuel produced energy to the minimum. 

Several methods were optimized in order to minimize heating/cooling energy consumption; each of these methods contributes in decreasing energy consumption by either decreasing energy losses or decreasing the dependence on mechanical air conditioning systems by utilizing natural passive cooling and heating. The reduction of the heating/ cooling load is done by using a full-tank thermal insulation the envelope.

Windows had double glazed insulated sections with low heat transfer coefficient, heat loss/gain values by infiltration have been also minimized by using special sealed thermal broken sections for windows. The resulted savings in energy needs for air conditioning alone were 50% in heating annual cost & 51% in cooling annual cost at Yarmouk location, in Fifa location 35% reduction in heating annual cost & 53% cooling annual cost has been achieved.

To achieve water conserving, rain water was collected, grey water was treated & reuse & efficient fixtures were used throughout the buildings. For outdoors local & drought resistant vegetation were selected for the site. All these strategies resulted in water use by 30% in each building.
