Estidama Certification

Contact Us

Estidama, meaning “sustainability” in Arabic, is a sustainability initiative by the Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council (UPC). It aims to enhance environmental, social, cultural, and economic sustainability within the built environment. The Pearl Rating System (PRS) under Estidama ensures that projects contribute to long-term sustainability in the UAE.

Conserve Solutions provides end-to-end Estidama Certification Services, guiding project teams through Pearl Rating System (PRS) compliance. Our consultants work with developers, architects, engineers, and contractors to integrate Estidama principles into design, construction, and operational phases.
