Our Commitment

Designing a Sustainable Future

At PEC, sustainability is not an add-on — it is embedded in every project from the earliest concept stage, every discipline, every decision.

Philosophy

Built on a belief in lasting value

PEC designs environmentally conscious projects that promote sustainable development, reduce energy consumption, and respect the natural and cultural environment of Oman. We believe that buildings must serve their communities for generations — not just their immediate occupants.

From passive solar design and natural ventilation to locally sourced materials and drought-resistant landscaping, sustainability is a discipline embedded in how we work — not a marketing label.

Our ISO 9001:2015 certified Quality Management System ensures that sustainable design principles are assessed and maintained at every project stage, every time.

Six Pillars

Our Sustainability Framework

Energy Efficiency

Passive design, optimal building orientation and high-performance MEP systems to minimise energy consumption across all project typologies.

Implementation92%
  • Solar shading & thermal mass design
  • Natural ventilation strategies
  • High-efficiency HVAC specification
  • LED lighting throughout
  • Energy modelling & simulation

Local Materials

Locally sourced, low-embodied-carbon materials that reduce transport emissions, support Omani suppliers, and connect buildings to their natural context.

Implementation85%
  • Local stone and aggregate sourcing
  • Recycled and reclaimed materials
  • Low-VOC paints and finishes
  • Responsibly sourced timber
  • Reduced cement content mixes

Water Conservation

Greywater recycling systems, drought-tolerant planting, and smart irrigation integrated into every landscape and MEP design.

Implementation88%
  • Greywater collection and reuse
  • Drip and sub-surface irrigation
  • Native and drought-tolerant planting
  • Rainwater harvesting potential
  • Low-flow plumbing fixtures

Cultural Heritage

Preserving and celebrating Omani architectural identity — integrating traditional vernacular elements with contemporary design language.

Implementation100%
  • Arched facades and wind towers
  • Courtyard typologies and mashrabiya
  • Local stone cladding and texture
  • Traditional craft and geometric patterns
  • Context-responsive massing

Biodiversity

Native planting, habitat-sensitive site design and green corridors to support biodiversity in all urban, landscape and masterplanning projects.

Implementation78%
  • Native species planting plans
  • Habitat buffer zones
  • Green corridor integration
  • Pollinator-friendly landscapes
  • Permeable paving and SuDS

Community Integration

Urban designs that promote walkability, social interaction and long-term community cohesion — places people genuinely want to be.

Implementation95%
  • Active street frontages
  • Mixed-use programming
  • Pedestrian priority networks
  • Community parks and plazas
  • Inclusive accessible design
