Oman unveils first 'green' smart building

MUSCAT, April 10, 2017

Oman-based Teejan Group of Companies has announced the launch of its first solar-powered building project for smart offices, The Taj, which will come up on a 3,942-sq-m area in the Ghala region of the sultanate.

A seven-minute drive from Muscat Airport, the Taj will boast a three-storey underground parking for 270 vehicles, reception office, restaurants, cafes, mini-market, a bank and other facilities to meet all the needs of the employees, customers and visitors, reported Oman Observer.

The 13-storey project will feature a variety of the latest technologies and high-end specifications, equipped with fast Internet connections, said the report.

Taj will be the first office building in Oman to be equipped with a robot to work as a guide for the visitors. The building will be solar-powered alongside smart lighting and air-conditioning systems, it stated.

It will boast four elevators, special areas at each floor for break and coffee, a business centre equipped with display screens and sound system, a golf court and a spa with jacuzzi and sauna, said the report.

Taj will feature heat-reflective glass, suspended ceilings, porcelain and marble for corridors and entrances, special entrance for the handicapped, fire detection devices, male and female toilets at each floor, prayer rooms, and a fountain at the reception area, CCTV cameras and around-the-clock security.

A gamechanger project, Taj will see company owners control the electronic systems at their offices through a smart phone application, said the report.

The internal design provides safety, comfortability; all communications platforms; such as the Internet and the phone lines are made to make work easier and ‘smart’.

Work is likely to start within the next few weeks on the project and is due for completion in early 2020, it added.
