In 2017, Masdar City completed the Eco-Villa, the first net-zero energy building in the UAE, as a demonstration project. The 400-square meter Eco-Villa was the first to achieve a 4-Pearl rating under the Estidama Pearl Rating System. It was designed to use 72 percent less energy and 35 percent less water than a conventional villa of a comparable size in Abu Dhabi.
