Paint to reduce energy consumption, devices to improve air quality, and engineering designs to reduce heat

The “Big Five 2024” exhibition witnessed participating companies and pavilions presenting modern innovative solutions and products to support aspects of sustainability in real estate projects, most notably types of coatings or “paints” for walls and surfaces, which include formulations that reduce temperatures, reduce energy consumption, and devices to improve air quality in buildings. Through systems for purifying the air from dangerous gases and odors, and “Solar Tiles,” a product that combines solar energy and kinetic energy. The new tiles generate up to 30 times more energy than the previous product, and the use of wood types and geometric designs in the rooms reduces temperatures and allows for ventilation and lighting of the rooms in a way that reduces energy consumption.

Officials of companies participating in the recently concluded exhibition at the Dubai World Trade Center told Emirates Today that the construction markets in the Emirates are witnessing an increasing growth in demand for solutions to support sustainability in real estate projects, with growth rates between 15 and 20% since the beginning of the year. This supported the trend of companies to present the most prominent innovations in supporting sustainability in buildings during the “Big Five” platforms, pointing out that the growth of demand at large rates for sustainability is due to the growth of awareness among companies and investors, and benefiting from the feasibility of the economic returns that it provides. These solutions provide it.

The General Manager of Leading Hospitality Services Group, Atul Kapil, said, “The UAE markets are witnessing an increasing demand for solutions to support sustainability in real estate projects,” pointing out that there has been a growth in demand for these solutions by rates between 15 and 20% since the beginning of this year before. Construction companies.

He explained that “the growth in demand is largely due to factors related to the growth in awareness of companies, the increase in demand from investors for those projects that support the use of these solutions, and the tendency to benefit from the economic feasibility provided by these solutions, such as saving energy usage bills and supporting the efficiency of buildings.”

Kapil added, “The group has introduced types of coatings or paints that have been developed to reduce the temperatures of surfaces, walls, and floors, at lower rates with differences of up to about 20 degrees compared to other normal, unpainted surfaces, in addition to technologies called (i-paint) and (i-film).” “Which improves energy consumption in buildings by reducing heat absorption to a minimum, in addition to innovative (i.e. ceramic) technologies, which reduce the severity of waterlogging in urban areas and reduce surface temperatures.”

The director of operations at Power as Paris, Richard Livery, pointed out that “the company has introduced innovative designs for building rooms using types of wood that reduce energy use, by increasing ventilation and reducing temperatures,” pointing out that “the engineering designs of buildings allow for reducing the use of Energy and air conditioning, recycling water used in bathrooms and kitchens, and rationalizing water consumption.”

He explained that “the growth in demand for sustainability is due to factors, most notably the trend to benefit from the economic feasibility of sustainability solutions, and the increased awareness of its importance.”

Andrei Nagelri, Director of Operations at Wetim Company, said, “The growth of demand for sustainability solutions in the UAE and regional markets at significant rates is one of the most prominent trends in real estate projects in the recent period, which has motivated companies and wings to expand by offering more innovative solutions and technologies that support… Sustainability uses.
