Our Commitment
At PEC, sustainability is not an add-on — it is embedded in every project from the earliest concept stage, every discipline, every decision.
Philosophy
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
Energy Efficiency
Passive design, optimal building orientation and high-performance MEP systems to minimise energy consumption across all project typologies.
Local Materials
Locally sourced, low-embodied-carbon materials that reduce transport emissions, support Omani suppliers, and connect buildings to their natural context.
Water Conservation
Greywater recycling systems, drought-tolerant planting, and smart irrigation integrated into every landscape and MEP design.
Cultural Heritage
Preserving and celebrating Omani architectural identity — integrating traditional vernacular elements with contemporary design language.
Biodiversity
Native planting, habitat-sensitive site design and green corridors to support biodiversity in all urban, landscape and masterplanning projects.
Community Integration
Urban designs that promote walkability, social interaction and long-term community cohesion — places people genuinely want to be.
