Driver and Need for GBRS

Depletion of Natural Resources & Climate Change

Reduced Operational cost (Energy, Water & resources)

Overall better comfort and satisfaction for the occupant

The need for a 3rd party green building verification tool

In April 2010 the Estidama program of the Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council partially released the first versionof its rating system suite, The Pearls Rating System for Estidama v1.0 updated a year later into v2.0

PRS includes a number of rating systems assessing Buildings, Villas and Neighborhoods.

Part of Abu Dhabi’s 20-year plan, AKA Plan Abu Dhabi 2030, attempting to redefine how a contemporary Arabcity should look and encourage sustainable growth, the PRS is strongly linked to the Estidama Integrative DesignProcess (EIDP), which seeks to promote the new concept of Integrated Design process as a design approachamongst design professionals.

ESTIDAMA PEARL RATING SYSTEM

Bottom Lines & Environmental Disciplines:

EIDP is also set to become part of the development codes as a prerequisite for all projects types, requiring allprojects to carry out a number of analyses before the design process is permitted to begin. These analysesinclude, among others, Solar analysis, and preliminary Energy modeling.

An Executive Council Order of May 2010 states all new buildings must meet the 1 Pearl requirements startingin September 2010, whilst all government funded buildings must achieve minimum 2 Pearls.

PRS is the first to formally adopt the Integrated Design Process and the first to make it mandatory.

The development of the rating systemtook advantage of a comprehensivereview of combined best practicesemployed by a mix of establishedinternational and regional ratingsystems, while taking into considerationthe needs that are specific to Qatar’slocal environment, culture and policies.

Performance Based System from 1 to 6 stars

Constant Coordination with GORD in Qatar

The ARZ Building Rating System is designed to measure the extent to which existing commercial buildings in Lebanon are:- healthy, comfortable places for working- consuming the right amount of energy and water- while having a low impact upon the natural environment

• Voluntary Green Building Rating system specifically designed for the Lebanese context

• For commercial existing buildings as a start.• Buildings assessed by accredited assessors and final scoring and

certification of the building by LGBC.
