Relationship to Sustainability?
There are so many definitions to sustainability:
“Providing for the needs of the present without

detracting from the ability to fulfil the needs of
the future”

E DGE , PQP, MSCM
What is Green Design?
What is Green Design?
Concept of “GREEN” with regard to building systems ;
•A design that is green is one that is aware of and respects nature and the
natural order of things
•it is a design that minimise the negative human impacts on the natural
surroundings, materials, resources & processes

E DGE , PQP, MSCM
Measure of Green Design & Sustainability
Green design & sustainability have no absolutes;
They cannot be defined exactly.
It is a goal to be sought.
It is some practical techniques to help practitioners

achieve the goal of green design and thus make a
significant contribution to earth’s sustainability.

E DGE , PQP, MSCM
Green & Sustainability Buildings
The one that achieves high performance, over the
full life cycle, in the following areas ;
1. Minimal Consumption
2. Minimal atmospheric emission
3. Minimal discharge of harmful liquid effluents
4. Minimal negative impact on site ecosystems
5. Maximum quality of indoor environment

E DGE , PQP, MSCM
Buildings contribute to climate change and other environmental harms, largely
through resource use. Reducing demand for resources like energy and water has
become a major goal of sustainable building.
Buildings consume large amounts of resources, which makes them highly

relevant for environmental sustainability goals. Residential and commercial
buildings consumed approximately 39 percent of the energy.
Buildings also account for an estimated 12 percent of freshwater withdrawals

and the built environment has dominated growth in water consumption over the
past several decades

E DGE , PQP, MSCM
Green building rating systems are one approach to creating a
shared understanding of what it means to achieve building
sustainability.
Against the backdrop of inherent value tradeoffs associated with

sustainability goals , such rating systems make normative
declarations about what it means for a building to be sustainable.
This explicitness also makes rating systems relevant targets of

critique and discussion related to sustainability metrics.

SOURCE OF WATER

E DGE , PQP, MSCM
Future droughts are expected to last
longer, be more severe, and become
more frequent as climate continues
to change. Using models to project
future drought, scientists have found
an increased risk of severe drought
around the world, including in the U.S.
Midwest, South America’s Patagonia
region, Mediterranean Europe, and
northern Africa. Already, Uruguay,
northern Argentina, and southern
Brazil are battling their longest and
largest drought in decades, with
extremely harmful agriculture and
economic impacts.

I. SOURCE OF WATER
When designing a water supply system for a building, the source of water is a
critical consideration. Several factors influence the choice of water source,
including the location of the building, local regulations, cost, reliability, and
environmental impact.

I. SOURCE OF WATER
The Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC) is responsible for providing power and
water securely and at the least cost to our customers in Abu Dhabi and the Northern
Emirates.
To add further complexity to the challenge of decarbonisation, both power and water demand
is set to increase by around five per cent per year in the period to 2035, due to underlying
economic growth and electrification of other sectors such as transportation and industry to
support decarbonisation.
The Statement of Future Capacity Requirements (SFCR) presents our recommendations for
the generation and desalination infrastructure required to realise our sustainability targets
and meet growing power and water demands securely at least cost.
This involves balancing three key factors; energy security, affordability and environmental
sustainability, which are aligned with our core responsibilities and the government-mandated
target

E DGE , PQP, MSCM
I. SOURCE OF WATER
New Water Recommendations
Consistent with the planning statements of the past seven years, the 2023 SFCR recommends
significant additional RO deployment is needed.
We recommend procurement of at least an additional 0.28Mm3 /day (62MIGD) of RO by 2029

to meet demand growth. In addition to our recommendations in this year’s Statement, we are
also in the process of proceeding with developing the following RO projects, which were
recommended in the 2021 SFCR:
• 540,000m3 /day (120MIGD) at Mirfa, currently under construction and assumed to reach COD
by November 2025
• 320,000m3 /day (70MIGD) at Shuweihat, currently under construction and assumed to reach
COD by May 2026
• 450,000m3 /day (100MIGD) total capacity at Abu Dhabi Islands (located on Hudayriyat and
Saadiyat), assumed to reach COD by September 2027

E DGE , PQP, MSCM
I. SOURCE OF WATER
The Abu Dhabi Islands Reverse Osmosis (RO) Independent Water Project (IWP) consists of
two standalone greenfield RO seawater desalination plants to be located on Saadiyat
Island and Hudayriat Island. Both plants will desalinate seawater using low-carbon
intensive RO technologies to provide a combined total of approximately 100 million
imperial gallons per day (MIGD), equivalent to 455,000 m3/day. Together, the plants
under the Abu Dhabi Islands RO IWP will meet the water demand for up to 180,000
households in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

I. SOURCE OF WATER
MASTER PLANNING AND FORECASTING

Water is a basic natural resource fundamental to life, livelihood, food security, and
sustainable economic development. The continuous increase of human population
growth and urbanization greatly impacts the water demand. In the Emirate of Abu
Dhabi, there are several entities responsible for the master planning in the region, this
includes the Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC), the Urban Planning
Council (UPC), developers, etc.
The Urban Planning Council (UPC) is the sole authority responsible for urban planning in
Abu Dhabi Emirate, and the UPC studies, reports, projections, and spatial distributions are
the only data that comprehensively represent the population and spatial distribution
across the whole of Abu Dhabi with sufficient granularity

E DGE , PQP, MSCM
I. SOURCE OF WATER
Population and demand forecasts are all set within the context of Abu Dhabi
Emirate economic forecasts, that reflect the aspirations for development and
growth of the Emirate. As a dynamic and growth economy, the approach to
population forecasting, by necessity is based on econometric models driven by
GDP, split by oil and non-oil sectors. Forecasts essentially reflect the population
required to achieve the economic growth targeted, on the basis that the
indigenous ‘citizen’ population is a minority component of overall resident
population and that growth is fueled by the importation of ‘non-citizen’
population

FIXTURE BRANCH
• The water supply pipe between the fixture supply pipe and the water-distributing pipe.

E DGE , PQP, MSCM

E DGE , PQP, MSCM
FIXTURE BRANCH
Branch system layout
• The branch system layout uses a

“main” and “branches”. The main
(sometimes called a trunk) is the
largest diameter at the upstream end
and gets smaller as each branch is
connected. This layout is very common
for residential and commerical
installations using rigid piping
materials like copper, PVC, PEX, CPVC,
galvanized steel, and polypropylene.
The branch system layout can be used
on both cold and hot water distribution
systems.

E DGE , PQP, MSCM
FIXTURE BRANCH
Home-run manifold system layout
• The home-run manifold layout is

commonly used for residential
installations, and can be used on
both cold and hot water distribution
systems. In this layout, all fixtures
are supplied with smaller diameter
pipe that is run from the manifold to
each fixture. The hot water manifold
should be located in close proximity
to the hot water source to ensure fast
and efficient delivery.

E DGE , PQP, MSCM
FIXTURE BRANCH
Combination System Layout
• This layout combines properties of

the branch system layout with
properties of the home-run
manifold system layout. Sometimes
called the sub-manifold layout, or
remote-manifold layout, this
design is commonly used in
apartment buildings, condominium
buildings, and similar buildings that
incorporate groups of fixtures. The
combination system layout can be
used on both cold and hot water
distribution systems.

E DGE , PQP, MSCM
TYPICAL CONNECTION ARRANGEMENT FOR WATER SERVICE

E DGE , PQP, MSCM
TYPICAL CONNECTION ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN GROUND AND ROOF
• The common practice for water supply

system design in UAE is to have an
underground tank size to store one daily
water demand. This water the gets
transferred to an overhead tank sized to
store water as well.

E DGE , PQP, MSCM
VII. UP FEED AND DOWN FEED SYSTEM
UP FEED SYSTEM
An upfeed booster system uses the

additional pressure in the risers to
overcome the height, the resistance in
the piping, and ensure adequate
pressure for the governing fixture on the
top storey. This design will usually
increase the pressure at lower storeys
over the maximum allowable by the
Plumbing Code. To reduce the pressure
at the lower floors, pressure-reducing
valves are used on the branches at each
storey.

E DGE , PQP, MSCM
DOWN FEED SYSTEM
Downfeed booster systems use a pump, or

pumps, to boost the pressure of the building’s
service pressure and then use this additional
pressure to deliver potable water to the roof, or
the top storey of the building. Some systems
use a storage tank, or tanks, on the roof to
create head pressure in the downfeed piping
supplying each storey. This design could also
increase the pressure at lower storeys over the
maximum allowable by the Plumbing Code. To
reduce the pressure at the lower floors,
pressure-reducing valves are used on the
branches at each storey.

E DGE , PQP, MSCM
There are variations of both the downfeed and

upfeed systems. One variation of the upfeed
system, shown in the figure, where separate
pumps are used for different storeys. This design
would eliminate the need for pressure-reducing
valves but adds complexity to the system.
There are also combination booster designs
where the lower part of the building is supplied
by the water service pressure, and the storeys
above are supplied by a downfeed system.

IX. PRESSURE REQUIREMENT
As per UPC, A minimum water pressure equal to 1.25bar (18.0 psi)
shall be ensured in the distribution system. In situations where this
is unavailable, a suitable booster pump shall be installed. Booster
pumps shall be installed on the discharge side of the elevated
tank that supplies the water to the building in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and engineering design. Pressure to
be generated by the booster pump shall depend on the type of
fixtures installed.
Excessive Water Pressure
Where static water pressure in the water supply piping exceeds

6bar (80 psi), an approved-type pressure regulator (pressure
reducing valve) preceded by an adequate strainer shall be
installed and the static pressure reduced to 6bar (80 psi) or less.

(1.2 m/s) and 8ft/s (2.4 m/s). Water supply are routed in different areas, and the
velocity shall be consider as shown on the below table.

E DGE , PQP, MSCM
As per UPC, generally, maximum
velocities in pipe, tubing, and
fitting systems shall not exceed
2.4m/s (8 fps) in cold water and
1.5m/s (5 fps) in hot water.
However, the velocity requirement
for water supply pipe sizing
depends on the type of pipe
material and the application

E DGE , PQP, MSCM
XI. PIPE SIZING
On any proposed water piping installation sizing, the following conditions shall be determined:
(1) Determine static pressure for highest outlet (elevation difference to highest outlet).
(2) Determine friction head loss (pump to farthest fixture x 1.5 [equals equivalent length]).
(3) Required outlet pressure [fixture with most pressure requirements (i.e. flush valves etc.)].
(4) Head loss through PRV at pump (add total for required initial pressure).
(5) Total number of water supply fixture units as determined from Table A-2, Separate Cold and

The Pearl Rating System for
ESTIDAMA
Building Rating System What is ESTIDAMA?
Design & Construction Version
1.0 Estidama, which means ‘sustainability’ in Arabic, is the
initiative which will transform Abu Dhabi into a model of
sustainable urbanization. Its aim is to create more
sustainable communities, cities and global enterprises
and to balance the Four Pillars of Estidama:
environmental, economic, cultural and social.

The aspirations of Estidama are incorporated into Plan 2030 and other Urban
Planning Council (UPC) policies such as the Development Code. Estidama first
program of its kind that is tailored to the Middle East region. In the immediate
term, Estidama is focused on the rapidly changing built environment. It is in this
area that the UPC is making significant strides to influence projects under
design, development or construction within the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. One of
Estidama’s key initiatives is the Pearl Rating System.

THE PEARL RATING SYSTEM FOR ESTIDAMA
The Pearl Rating System is organized into seven categories that are fundamental to more
sustainable development. These form the heart of the Pearl Rating System:

PEARL RATING LEVELS
Within each section there are both mandatory and optional credits and credit
points are awarded for each optional credit achieved. To achieve a 1 Pearl rating,
all the mandatory credit requirements must be met. To achieve a higher Pearl
rating, all the mandatory credit requirements must be met along with a minimum
number of credit points.

SECTION WEIGHTINGS
The number of credit points available in
a given section determines the
weighting of that section. Different
building uses may have a different
number of credit points for a particular
component. This is intended to reinforce
the critical issues that should be
addressed for a particular building use.
For a mixed-use building, the total
number of credit points available will
vary depending on the different uses
that are present.

SUMMARY OF CREDIT POINTS FOR THE
PEARL BUILDING RATING SYSTEM

PW: Precious Water
“One of the most important challenges for the Emirate is to balance water
supply and demand as efficiently as possible given that the per capita
consumption of fresh water is among the highest in the world and new water
supplies are expensive”
--- Abu Dhabi Water Resources Master Plan, EAD 2009
The Precious Water section of the Pearl Building Rating System: Design
and Construction includes the Building Water Calculator that should
be used throughout the entire design process. This calculator will help
the development team to assess inputs and flows of water to and
from the project with a holistic perspective, and assist in identifying
how and where reductions in the use of potable water may be made.

LEED System Goals
LEED-certified buildings are critical to addressing climate change and meeting ESG goals,
enhancing resilience, and supporting more equitable communities. LEED is a holistic system
that doesn’t simply focus on one building element, such as energy, water or health. Instead, it
looks at the big picture, factoring in all critical elements that work together to create the best
building possible. The goal of LEED is to create better buildings that:

Of all LEED credits, 35% relate to climate change, 20% directly impact human health, 15% impact water
resources, 10% affect biodiversity, 10% relate to the green economy, and 5% impact community and natural
resources. In LEED v4.1, most LEED credits are related to operational and embodied carbon.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF BUILDINGS
Buildings and communities, including the resources used to create them and the
energy, water, and materials needed to operate them, have a significant effect on
the environment and human health. In the United States, buildings account for:
14% 30% 40%

The Water Efficiency (WE) section addresses water holistically, looking at indoor use,
outdoor use, specialized uses, and metering. The section is based on an “efficiency
first” approach to water conservation. As a result, each prerequisite looks at water
efficiency and reductions in potable water use alone. Then, the WE credits
additionally recognize the use of nonpotable and alternative sources of water.
Project Checklist LEED v4.1 BD+C

INDOOR WATER USE
Indoor use encompasses water for urinals, toilets, showers, kitchen or

break room sinks, and other applications typical of occupied buildings.
Indoor water use can be reduced by installing water-efficient fittings and
fixtures, using nonpotable water for flush functions, and installing
submeters to track and log water use trends, check fixture performance,
and identify problems. Buildings also use significant amounts of water to
support industrial processes and systems, such as cooling towers, boilers,
and chillers. These systems provide both heat and cool air and water for
building operations. Process water also includes the water used for certain
business operations (e.g., washing machines, dishwashers). Commercial
building projects can reduce water use by selecting efficient cooling towers,
chillers, boilers, and other equipment, and by substituting harvested
rainwater and nonpotable water for certain applications.

INTENT
To reduce indoor water consumption.
REQUIREMENTS For the fixtures and fittings listed in Table 1, as applicable to the project scope, reduce
aggregate water consumption by 20% from the baseline. Base calculations on the volumes
Building Water Use
and flow rates shown in Table 1.
All newly installed toilets, urinals, private lavatory faucets, and showerheads that are eligible
for labeling must be WaterSense labeled (or a local equivalent for projects outside the U.S.).

STRATEGIES FOR REDUCING
INDOOR WATER USE:
• INSTALL EFFICIENT PLUMBING FIXTURES
Install new high-efficiency fixtures, including high-
efficiency lavatories, kitchen sinks and showers, dual-
flush toilets, waterless urinals, and composting toilets.
High-efficiency fixtures use less water than specified by
the Energy Policy Act (EPAct) of 1992. Select EPA
WaterSense and ENERGY STAR products. In existing
buildings, if porcelain replacement proves cost-
prohibitive, install new flush valves or flow restrictors (e.g.,
aerators) to achieve water savings.
• USE NONPOTABLE WATER
• INSTALL SUBMETERS

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY OF WATER SYSTEM
The water supplied to the Al Seef Precint Building is coming from the
main network for potable water by ADDC from an isolation valve inside
the Valve Chamber. Incoming domestic water is passing through a
common supply line for the combined fire and domestic water tank
and are utilized to provide the required Potable and Fire Water. Fire
pump and transfer pump room shall be provided in basement 1 and it
shall be directly above the water tank.

E DGE , PQP, MSCM
XIV. WORKSHOP-1
The combined domestic and fire water reserved tank are stored in
Reinforced Concrete Tanks located at Basement 1. Supply line is fitted with
isolation valves and float valves. The capacity of fire water reserved holds
the required water for the Wet Sprinkler Systems for 60 minutes of
operation. The potable water tank holds the required water for 2 days
consumption of the cold and hot water supply system, 1 day for ground
tank and 1 day for roof tank. Each tank is fitted with Air Vents, Overflow,
Drain Line, Level Indicator and Access Doors as mandated by the Local
Authority. Recirculation pump shall be provided to circulate 20% of fire
water reserve capacity daily thru horizontal end suction pump located
inside pump room with minimum of 8 hours daily to prevent bacterial
growth & stagnation of water inside the tanks.

E DGE , PQP, MSCM
XIV. WORKSHOP-1
The potable water is then transfer thru pump in the insulated GRP roof
tank to raw water tank. The transfer pump ( 1D+1S cyclic operation) will
operate thru VFD and water volume demand controlled is by a level
sensor and/or float valve of the roof water tank. From the raw tank,
water shall be treated using filtration system. The filtered water shall be
stored in insulated GRP tank.

E DGE , PQP, MSCM
