•SystemFramework QSAS consists of several categories, criteria, and measurements
that are associated with environmental goals.
Goals define values to be achieved to lower impact
on the environment.
Categories are the key aspects that affect the overall
building sustainability.
Criteria specify the intent and are linked to measurements
that are performance-driven and objective, if possible.
Measurements are further broken down into three components–
measurement principles, measurement methods,
and demonstration requirements.

•Advantages Ground-up Approach Developing from scratch allows for the seamless integration between Qatar specific requirements and sustainable goals.
Best Mix Combines the best methods from six established systems resulting in a customized tool specific to the requirements and needs of Qatar.
Performance-based Categories, criteria, and measurements are defined to be performance-based and quantifiable, where possible. Prescriptive measurements are provided as recommendations in design guidelines.
Flexible Aggregation method is defined from the ground up and is applied to the system from the criteria, sub-category, and category level which allows for the flexibility of modifying an individual component without interfering with the entire system.
Control Complete control over the development, customization, deployment, and future modifications or expansion of the rating system and demonstration requirements.

•MeasurementComponents Measurement principles, detailed definitions, and demonstration methods are defined while applying local laws and codes of Qatar as the minimum requirements.
Measurement Principles Summary statement of the measurement. Example: Project will maximize the number of days that the building can utilize natural ventilation, either through user operable windows or by system controlled direct supply of outside air.
Detailed Definition Detailed definition of the measurement where the baseline, targets, and associated credits are defined. Example: Project will achieve one of the following acceptable natural ventila-tiontargets: No natural ventilation possibilities, year round 0 < X < 1 month of the year 1 < X < 2 month of the year 2 ≤ X < 3 months of the year X ≥ 3 months of the year Incremental credits are awarded based on the level of performance achieved.
Demonstration Define tools and requirements by which a project can demonstrate conformance. Example: Use Natural Ventilation Calculator to compute result.

•Overview
Measurement Methods & Scale The aim for all criteria and their associated measurements in QSAS is to be performance-based and quantifiable on the scale of -1 to 3 which represents an underlying uniform ordinal scale from unacceptable (-1) to optimal (3).
Category The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to determine the relative importance or weights of 8 QSAS categories by comparing one category to another via a survey with stakeholders. Because the importance and impacts of various categories differ from one region to another, the AHP survey was conducted using the expertise and input from multiple industries and government representations within Qatar.
CriteriaQSAS uses the concept of relative impact as the measure of weighting for each criterion within a category. A number of factors are utilized to assess the impact of each criteria on the environment as well as the extent and duration of the impact.

•QSASResources(I) QSAS Manuals Suite
The Manuals Suite contains thirteen manuals and two building energy documents to guide the sustainability assessment process for each project. The QSAS manuals include a set of criteria and measurements as well as recommendations to be used as guidance.
(II) QSAS Project Management Suite (PMS)
The QSAS PMS enables users to register a project for assessment through an online system. The online tool allows for direct communication between the project team and the QSAS Certification Body so each project moves seamlessly through the various stages of assessment. For users who cannot gain access to the online system, QSAS also offers a manual project submission tool as part of the PMS.
(III) QSAS Tools Suite
The Tools Suite contains 13 Toolkits and 65 Calculators to guide the sustainability assessment process for each project.
Toolkits The Toolkits are computational systems that are provided to facilitate the evaluation of a project’s performance under the assessment system. The toolkits compute the final project score and certification level for the project using each criterion score entered by the user. The toolkits are not part of the submittal requirements.
Calculators The Calculators are normative measures provided for many criteria to evaluate the project’s performance and compute a final criterion score. The calculators must be downloaded and completed for the appropriate criteria in order to fulfill the assessment requirements.
