Saudi Arabia Leads Regional Green Building Sector with Record Performance in 2025

In 2025, the green building sector reached a pivotal milestone, transitioning from technical design practices to an institutionalized system driven by measurable performance indicators and strategic partnerships. According to the Saudi Green Building Forum’s SAAF® conformity and specifications system, Saudi Arabia emerged as a regional leader, achieving the highest performance score of 76.31 points and registering over 1.03 million square meters of certified areas.

 This shift is supported by a robust professional network of over 7,300 registered experts and a cumulative portfolio of 6,662 projects, which together reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 62,800 tons annually.

 Secretary-General of the Saudi Green Building Forum Faisal Alfadl emphasized that this evolution—integrating renewable energy, clean water, and eco-friendly infrastructure—serves as a sustainable bridge toward the goals of Vision 2030.
