The Saudi Green Building Forum is an initiative under the appointment of King Abdullah bin Abdullaziz of Saudi Arabia Royal Decree No. 7095/mb dated 5/10/1431 A.H., inaugurated under the official patronage of His Royal Highness Prince Dr. Mansour Bin Miteb Bin Abdulaziz, Ministry of Municipalities & Rural Affairs.

Saudi Arabia is a green building frontrunner and is home to the fastest growing construction and projects market in the Middle East. Green building design and energy-efficient products and technology is being driven by multibillion dollar spending from both the public and private sector – offering unparalleled opportunities in sectors associated with green building or green building technology.

The Saudi Green Building Forum is strategically aligned and partnered with the public and private sectors in addition to sponsors from national and international, government and non-government organizations. The Forum is designed to demonstrate the kingdom’s capacity and efforts through setting national policy for the environmental impact of the built environment whilst encouraging design, construction and operation of highly efficient sustainable buildings. www.saudigbf.org
