Who is responsible for assessing the Pearl submission documents in the Estidama process?

The Pearl Assessor plays a crucial role in the Estidama process, as this individual is specifically trained and accredited to evaluate the Pearl submission documents. This assessment involves examining the documentation to ensure that the project meets the sustainable development criteria set forth by the Estidama framework. The Pearl Assessor conducts a thorough review of the materials submitted, focusing on areas such as energy efficiency, water conservation, and resource management, to determine the project's compliance with the required standards.

In contrast, while a Pearl Qualified Professional may provide guidance on preparing the documentation and ensuring that the project's design aligns with sustainable principles, they do not have the authority to assess submissions. Design Team Members are responsible for the technical aspects of the project design but are not directly involved in the evaluation process of the Pearl submissions. The UPC Team Member, which typically refers to a broader project management or oversight role, also does not assess submissions directly but may facilitate the process in other capacities. Thus, the Pearl Assessor is designated as the key individual responsible for determining whether a project meets Estidama's sustainability goals through formal assessment of the Pearl submission documents.
