Planning for Estidama
A supplement to Development Review Applications to
address the Community Pearl Rating Requirements
The Intent
The Development Review (DR) Process outlines a clear path for project applications to comply with the mandatory
requirements of the Pearl Rating Systems for Estidama (PRS). This step of the PRS certification process precedes the
Estidama Design and Construction Rating steps, at which point formal Pearl Ratings are awarded. Submission items
required during the Development Review Process are intended to illustrate clear principles and methodologies that
are to be formulated by the applicant team to demonstrate how the mandatory credit requirements will be
addressed at each stage of the review process. The requirements outlined in this “Planning for Estidama” document
are very important but do not fulfill the complete submittal requirements to obtain a Design Rating. More detailed
submittal requirements are to be addressed at later stages of the review process and are clearly outlined in the
relevant sections of the Pearl Rating System documents.
How to read this Supplement
This document must be read in conjunction with the Development Review Forms A, B and C for each application
type: i.e. (A) Large Development, (B) Medium Development, and (C) Small Development. Note that "Concept
Review" applies only to (A) and (B), not (C).
Figure 1: DR Forms A, B and C
The above forms outline DR submittal requirements related to:
• Urban Development • Environment
• Public Realm • Safety & Security
• Transportation • Development Delivery
• Utilities
Applications addressing the above topics are reviewed by relevant departments in the Urban Planning Council (UPC)
and are also captured as part of the Estidama review for their relevance to applicable Pearl Rating System. In
addition, a number of submittal items are required to document design approaches and strategies in relation to the
following PRS categories:
• Integrated Development Process • Precious Water
• Natural Systems • Resourceful Energy
• Livable Communities/Buildings/Villas • Stewarding Materials
The requirements outlined in this “Planning for Estidama” document are very important but do not fulfill the complete submittal requirements to obtain a Design Rating.

Planning for Estidama or Estidama in the DR process
The DR process aims to set a pathway for compliance with the Required Credits in the applicable Pearl Rating System
for Estidama (PRS). As such, there are submittal requirements for each of the PRS Required Credits. The preparation
of these Development Review submissions process is also meant to support the Integrated Development Process
(IDP), which is the first prerequisite of Estidama certification.
During Development Review, applicants are expected to demonstrate understanding and effective implementation
of IDP from the initial project intent, to the planning of Preliminary Development Options, to selection of a Concept
Plan through fine-tuning of the Detailed Plan. Specifically, IDP would involve:
(1) System Thinking when developing strategies and solutions,
(2) Monitoring of ongoing sustainability performance of the project using an Estidama Framework with clear
vision and objectives and specific indicators and targets, and
(3) True Collaboration and Continuity within the design and development team.
Although successful projects must document an IDP during Development Review, the process should continue after
receipt of the Planning Award. All the required credits, including an IDP, must also be documented at the end of the
Design Stage, when projects apply for a Pearl Design Rating, and the end of the Construction Stage, when projects
apply for a Pearl Construction Rating.
*Buildings only
Figure 2: DR within the project life cycle
The IDP process is one of the mandatory requirements of the Pearl Rating System, but it will also facilitate projects in
striving for a higher sustainability performance, which all projects are encouraged to consider early in the Design
Stage. Applicants are also encouraged to meet with staff members of the UPC to ensure that applications are in
compliance with Planning for Estidama.
The following flowchart illustrates in more detail the IDP process during DR, defining ‘Planning for Estidama’

About the Pearl Rating System for Estidama
The Pearl Rating System (PRS) for Estidama is Abu Dhabi Emirate’s sustainable development program for the built
environment. The program aims to guide and rate the sustainability performance of a given development
throughout its lifecycle from design through construction to operation. It is comprised of a suite of rating systems
specific to the design and construction of Communities, Building and Villas, as well as the ongoing operation of
Existing Buildings.
The PRS provides guidance and detailed key performance indicators, called Credits, for rating a project’s potential
performance in relation to the four pillars of Estidama − environmental, economic, cultural and social − and the PRS
categories:
• Integrated Development Process: Encouraging cross-disciplinary teamwork to deliver environmental and
quality management throughout the life of the project.
• Natural Systems: Conserving, preserving and restoring the region’s critical natural environments and
habitats.
• Livable Communities, Livable Buildings and Livable Villas: Improving the quality of urban settlements and
ensuring quality of outdoor and indoor spaces.
• Precious Water: Reducing water demand and encouraging efficient distribution and alternative water
sources.
• Resourceful Energy: Targeting energy conservation through passive design measures, reduced demand,
energy efficiency and renewable sources.
• Stewarding Materials: Ensuring consideration of the ‘whole-of-life’ cycle when selecting and specifying
materials.
• Innovating Practice: encouraging innovation to facilitate market transformation.
Within each section there are both Required and Optional Credits and Points are awarded for each Optional Credit
achieved. In order to achieve 1 Pearl rating, all Required Credits must be met. Higher Pearl rating levels require
compliance with all Required Credits along with a minimum number of Optional Credits.
More information about the program is available at www.estidama.org
Detailed Estidama Submissions for Development Review
A summary of the Estidama submission items are detailed in Table 1 (Community) and 2 (Building) on the next
pages. The tables list the items specific for Estidama review and as well as items required independently for
Development Review that will support Estidama review.
