Global warming is an alarming reality. It is a growing problem upsetting society, threatening government policies, and endangering our health. An easy way to fight against global warming is by adopting one or more products designed using green technologies. Engineers and scientists worldwide continue to work diligently to introduce technological solutions to reduce and eliminate everything that causes global warming. Why not try one of the following environmentally friendly products readily available to us in Dubai?
Instant Water Heaters
When you see an instant water heater for the first time, you can't help but notice that one thing is missing… the tank!
The way instant water heaters work is as hot water taps are turned on, cold water travels through plumbing into the unit, and an electric element heats the water, instantly! As a result, tankless water heaters can provide a constant supply of hot water. No longer do you need to heat an entire tank of cold water when it's not required, nor do you waste energy heating water by having that heated water sitting in a tank waiting to be used. No rust particles, nor can electrolysis occur, meaning your water quality remains intact.
Smart Thermostats
One of the most practical examples of home automation is a smart thermostat. These ingenious little inventions allow you to access your home's air conditioning system and will enable you to schedule the temperature of your home throughout the day automatically.
The best part is, it learns your favourite temperatures, meaning it keeps your home as comfortable as you would like it to be, day and night. Because smart thermostats can adapt to your lifestyle, they can automatically provide comfort when you're at home or raise temperatures while you're sleeping. You benefit by lowering your monthly energy bill and the planet benefits. Win-win.
Water Flow Regulators
Sustainable and eco-friendly water flow regulators reduce water flow, thereby offering homeowners significant savings on their water bill. Low flow fixtures such as toilets, faucets, and showerheads, work the same as conventional fixtures, but they offer a barely noticeable water pressure change. This change will save water usage and usually pay for themselves in reduced water bills within a few months.
Eco-friendly Air Conditioners
In 2017, a team of researchers from the National University of Singapore devised a trail-blazing water-based air-conditioning system that can cool air to as low as 18 degrees Celsius without using energy-intensive compressors and environmentally harmful chemical refrigerants. This game-changing technology could potentially replace the modern-day air-conditioners in use across homes and offices in Dubai.
Until this new technology is available for widespread use, LG Split air conditioners are ahead of the market curve when it comes to green technology and air cooling. Many of their split models available in the Dubai marketplace are eco-friendly and use green technology to help the environment by saving energy and the homeowner by saving money.
Water Purification Units
These days, many consumers are reluctant to drink water directly from the tap because they do not trust it to be clean. Buying bottled water is a quick and convenient way to access clean water. However, research now suggests that plastic water bottles may leach chemicals, and certain exposure levels of some substances, such as bisphenol A (BPA), may cause cancer in some individuals. Additionally, more than 8 million plastic bottles have littered our oceans to date, causing a significant risk to marine life and global warming.
A home water purification system helps to remove a wide range of impurities from the drinking water. Many homes and offices in Dubai have opted for a reverse osmosis system, eliminating contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, odors, chlorine, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and heavy metals. Imagine how much less plastic your household could contribute to the local landfills by installing a water purification system in your home. Now imagine the convenience of pure-tasting chilled, sparkling or boiling water from your tap, on demand!
There are many green technological advances for residential and commercial use, but only by implementing green technology can we do our part to reduce pollution and waste worldwide.
