Create Sustainable Value in the UAE with ERKE: Driving High-Performance, Future-Ready Developments

As the United Arab Emirates (UAE) accelerates its pursuit of national sustainability goals, green building certification has become a crucial priority in real estate development and urban planning. At the heart of this shift is LEED certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), a globally recognized standard for measuring a building’s environmental performance. Supporting this transition is ERKE Sustainability Consultancy, a firm with the technical expertise and regional insight to guide developers toward sustainable, high-performance buildings.

Extensive LEED Support Services

As one of the most experienced firms providing LEED Consultancy in the UAE, ERKE combines international best practices with local knowledge to help projects navigate the complexities of green building certification with confidence.ERKE offers an all-encompassing suite of LEED-related services, making it a one-stop consultancy for developers aiming to meet the UAE’s green building mandates. The firm begins each project by crafting a tailored LEED credit strategy, identifying credits most feasible for the project’s scope, type, and budget.

Key technical services include:

• Energy Modeling using platforms like HAP, IES, and eQuest to optimize HVAC performance and demonstrate energy savings.
• Water Performance Analysis, ensuring water-efficient designs that meet LEED prerequisites and regional water use standards.
• Waste Management Planning, aiding project teams in minimizing construction and operational waste, in line with LEED Material and Resources credits.
• Material Documentation Support, helping teams source and verify Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), Health Product Declarations (HPDs), and Declare labels from local and international suppliers.

These services ensure that every sustainability aspect of the building is accurately addressed, measured, and reported in compliance with LEED criteria.

Lifecycle-Based Project Involvement

What sets ERKE apart is its involvement throughout the entire project lifecycle—from conceptual design to post-certification. At the earliest stage, ERKE conducts LEED pre-assessments, enabling teams to make informed decisions on design and material choices. As the project progresses, the firm offers credit simulations, supports documentation reviews, and provides hands-on guidance during the construction phase to ensure compliance.

ERKE also manages the GBCI submission process, preparing and coordinating all required documents to avoid delays or rejections. This end-to-end support streamlines the certification process and enhances the likelihood of success—whether the goal is LEED Silver, Gold, or Platinum.
