ESTIDAMA CERTIFICATION
Estidama
which is the Arabic word for sustainability, was developed by Urban Planning Council (UPC), and is tailored to the Middle East region. ESTIDAMA arose from the need to properly plan, design, construct and operate sustainable developments with respect to the traditions embedded within the rich local culture and climatic conditions.
What We Do
As part of the roadmap to successful compliance to UPC, all building projects in the Abu Dhabi Emirate has to meet Pearl certification requirements by fulfilling the Estidama Pearl Rating System mandatory credits and voluntary credits.
How It Works
Abu Dhabi’s Plan 2030 has been formulated with a clear vision for sustainability in any new development occurring in the Emirates. UPC and Estidama’s team ensures that sustainability is continually addressed through four pre-defined angles: environmental, economic, social and cultural, touching all aspects of life in Abu Dhabi.
