Green Building Codes
In 2010, the UAE Cabinet approved the Green Building and Sustainable Building standards to be applied across the country. The programme sets a minimum standard (Pearl 1) for all new constructions, and all government and government-funded buildings are required to achieve Pearl 2 rating. The system also sets sustainability standards for public spaces and planned developments, including mixed-use zoning, shading, and public transport links.
