Desert plants /Cactus and Local rock materials included in the Landscaping
SLIDE 11
Native “gaf” trees which require no irrigation / maintenance planted
SLIDE 12 Water Conservation Measures
Water cost savings of
32 %
achieved by Installation or Retrofitting
Ultra Low (0.5 GPM) Flow Restrictors
SLIDE 13 Water Conservation Measures Installation of
bags inside the WC flush tanks
Displacement = Savings 20 % savings per flush
Savings of 6,000 Litres (1,600 gallons) day Less load on sewage network Total Savings of AED 92,000 per year (Including DEWA and sewage bills)
SLIDE 14 Save 50 % irrigation water usage because,
– Ties up a high amount of irrigation – Reduces the usage of NPK fertilizers drastically by prevention of leaching out – Improves the soil structure – Reduces the percolation rate of the irrigation water in the soil – No pollution of environment
Water Conservation Measures Moisture retaining additives in soil
SLIDE 15 Water Conservation Plans for future
- Construction of STP for DIAC ‐ under progress
‐ expected completion Q3 2009
- Use of treated water ( TSE) for Irrigation
SLIDE 16 Energy Conservation Measures De Lamping in offices
RESULTS
- 4 Lamps (4 x 18w) per fitting
reduced to 2 lamps .
- Saved kW without compromising
- n lighting quality.
- Lighting Energy index reduced
from 21 W/ m2 to 10 W/ m2.
- 52% savings in lighting power.
- Reduced heat load from lighting.
- Reduced energy and C02
emissions.
- Improved in comfort / indoor
climate
