On 24 October 2007, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President,

Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, stated:

All owners of residential and commercial buildings and properties in the Emirate of Dubai must a healthy city that meets the demand of best practice and the benchmarks of a pollution-free sustainable development This statement set Dubai on a "greener" and more sustainable development path. Governments around the world are now seeking the best ways through which a low carbon and more sustainable future can be achieved. of resource use such as energy, water and materials; while reducing impacts of the building on human health and the environment during the building's lifecycle, through better siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance and decommissioned. Dubai has taken a bold step forward with the new building regulations which address the Emirates' most urgent sustainability issues of energy and water demand, carbon emissions and public health. These regulations shall be known and cited as Al Sa'fat - Dubai Green Building System in the

Emirate of Dubai.

Al Sa'fat is a system for evaluating green buildings in the Emirate of Dubai, which aims to: • Increase the vitality and improve the quality of the internal environment in Dubai buildings • Support the Dubai Strategic Plan for creating a more sustainable urban environment

The regulations are divided into 3 Sa'fat categories - Silver Sa'fa, Golden Sa'fa and Platinum Sa'fa.

101.03: LINK TO SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability is a complex concept which has rapidly developed in the past few years. Founded in the environmental and social issues in the contest of economic growth. In the context of the built environment and climate change, sustainability has become the benchmark terminology for the "Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own need" Line'. This concept is a way of going beyond just the economic aspects of any product, project or programme. It includes three aspects: Social, Environment and Economic and is often viewed as

Fig 101.03(1): Three Pillars of Sustainability

were lined to the higher principles of Sustainability. With Al Sa'fat, Dubai wishes to balance the for all. Al Sa'fat aims to deliver a built environment that delivers environmental improvement and a

better quality of life for the people and visitors of Dubai and in support for future economic growth.

The goal is to apply sustainable principles to the tasks of building design, construction, operation,

maintenance, change of use and deconstruction in Dubai.

Environmental

Buildings has many impacts on the environment. From materials that is manufactured, to the disassembly and disposition of components, a building have an impact on the environment.

consideration regarding these new regulations: • Reduce Energy, Water and Carbon Emissions - The primary focus for Al Sa'fat is to address issues related to energy and water demand, increase energy security, reduce infrastructure costs and mitigate carbon emissions.

• ǧconstruction in areas such as building's core and shell, its mechanical components, air conditioning and materials used. As an example, sustainable buildings in Dubai aims to reduce the heat impact with Heat Island strategies, light colours and hear rejection approaches.

• Pollution reduction or elimination - A building and activities related to the building should attempt to minimise or eliminate pollution and seek to protect the environment within the building site and around it. As an example, light pollution and even condensate drainage should be controlled.

• Minimising and conserving resources - Natural resources create the basic needs for life and form the basis for all man-made materials. Minimising and effectively using these resources

form the principle of good stewardship in sustainability. Thus, sustainable buildings in Dubai encourage to recycle materials, use green products and reduce demolition and construction waste, among others.

Economic

In a lifespan of a building, many economic impacts are associated with the construction and operation of the building. sustainable cities. These impacts are not related to buildings but also to the site and surrounding environment. Economic impacts occur not only during the construction but also before and after construction. Each building has the potential to have an impact on its neighbours, local community to assess the economic impact of buildings. or maintaining mechanical systems or ensuring that commissioning is accomplished can have a positive economic impact. • Balancing performance - This economic principle applies to balancing performance with the energy performance for glazing, prevention of cooling from air loss and condensate recovery are various methods for balancing performance in the building. Al Sa'fat Dubai Green Building System: Practice Guide, Version 2.0, October 2020 5

Social

Buildings are built for people. Healthy well-being and livability in buildings are important aspects to

be addressed in a sustainable strategy to strive towards the goal of ensuring a positive quality of life

for present and future generations. Furthermore, buildings impact social fabric of any city. While the

structure may vary in complexity and use, the goal of each building is to provide a positive human interaction within that building. Each user must accomplish their goals in using the building and the user's health, safety and welfare during that period must be ensured. To achieve sustainability,

• Protect health - Sustainable buildings in Dubai aims to protect the health and well-being of buildings occupants. This level of sustainability is achieved through the implementation

of low VOC paints and coatings, ensuring adequate ventilation and restricting the use of asbestos containing materials.

• Ensure comfort and livability - A positive quality of life in and around the building is important

for sustainability. Buildings must be livable and promote comfortable surroundings with both active and passive systems. Thus, in Dubai, this aspect of sustainability includes measures such as lighting and thermal controls, views from the building and good acoustical control. and heritage. It also ensures that building is accessible to everyone in the community. For buildings in Dubai, this include ensuring enabled access for People of Determination and incorporation of indigenous plants that are less water consuming. The social aspect also includes encouraging responsible use of resources by the community and instilling conservation ideals.

Sustainability is the pathway on which the regulations are built and they seek continuous improvement in building development for its entire life cycle.
