01PLANNING GUIDE
Cooling dominates energy use in Dubai homes. A renovation is the best opportunity to reduce heat gain and run cooling more efficiently, because walls, ceilings and windows are already open.
Next step
Tell us the property and what feels hot. We match you with contractors who can include efficiency upgrades.
Talk to a renovation specialistOr message us on WhatsAppRoof insulation and reflective roof coatings reduce heat entering top floors. Better-sealed windows with solar-control glass, external shading and blinds cut heat gain through glazing, which is often the largest source. Sealing gaps around doors and service penetrations stops warm air leaking in.
Efficient air-conditioning units, clean and well-sealed ducts, correctly sized systems and smart thermostats reduce consumption. Zoning lets unused rooms stay warmer. Ceiling fans help occupants feel cooler at a higher thermostat setting.
LED lighting with good controls uses a fraction of older fittings' power and adds less heat. Low-flow fittings and efficient water heaters reduce water and energy use together.
