Masdar City’s Eco-Villa, a pilot project incorporating water
and energy-saving technologies, has been completed and a UAE national family will soon live
in the prototype sustainable dwelling, it was announced on Thursday at Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week 2017.
The 405 square-metre Eco-Villa is the first villa to achieve a 4 Pearl rating according to the Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council’s Estidama Pearl Building Rating System. It will use around 72 per cent less energy and 35 per cent less water than a typical comparably sized villa in Abu Dhabi, displacing an
estimated 63 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually.
