In which of the following building types is the Pearl Building Rating System applicable?

The Pearl Building Rating System is designed to assess and promote sustainability within the built environment in Abu Dhabi. It is applicable to a wide range of building types, as it is meant to encourage sustainable practices across various sectors. This inclusiveness is one of the key strengths of the system.

By making it applicable to both residential and commercial buildings, the Pearl Rating System aims to address the diverse needs of different environments and circumstances, facilitating energy efficiency, resource conservation, and sustainable development in both domains. This approach not only fosters sustainability in housing but also encourages businesses to adopt environmentally friendly practices, thereby enhancing the overall quality of life and promoting a sustainable future in Abu Dhabi.

The other options are limited in scope as they suggest that the Pearl Building Rating System is restricted to a specific type of building, which overlooks its broader applicability and the importance of sustainability across varying building types.
