The paper finally concludes with other observations and outlook for a more robust implementation of the PRS.ĪB - Multiple sustainability standards and rating systems have been developed to draw attention to constructing sustainable buildings. It was also found that most rating systems, including the PRS, have a very superficial inclusion of life cycle assessment (LCA). The analysis suggests that the PRS considers the cultural aspect of sustainability, in addition to the environmental, societal, and economic aspects. This paper addresses this gap and critically evaluates the PRS against some of the well-established rating systems like LEED and BREEAM. The feasibility and the practical relevance of the PRS are still being studied. Hence, it is important to understand the main components, advantages, and limitations of the PRS. The Pearl Rating System (PRS) is a mandate for all new construction projects in Abu Dhabi.
