How many credit points are required to achieve a 2 Pearl rating?

To achieve a 2 Pearl rating under the Estidama sustainability rating system, a project must earn 60 credit points. The Estidama framework, which promotes sustainable design and development practices in the UAE, establishes specific thresholds for different Pearl ratings.

The credit point system is designed to encourage developers and designers to incorporate various sustainable practices and technologies in their projects. Each rating level has its own requirements, with the 2 Pearl rating representing a moderate level of sustainability achievement. Consequently, earning the necessary 60 credits indicates a strong commitment to sustainable building practices while still being achievable for many projects.

Each subsequent Pearl rating has a higher threshold of required credit points, demonstrating a greater emphasis on sustainability. Understanding these thresholds is essential for project planners aiming to meet specific sustainability goals within the framework.
