Four reasons Emaar Beachfront is the sustainable community on the block

Integrating sustainability in all our practices is one of our priorities at Emaar Beachfront. We do this in a number of ways.

Recycling initiatives

  • Did you know that over 70% of the average household’s trash can be recycled?
  • Money generated contributes to the community’s income.

Energy efficiency

  • Most lights in the community are LEDs, helping significantly cut down on electricity.
  • Building management systems (BMS) help apartment communities improve energy efficiency by optimising the speed of ventilation/cooling fans based on the area’s footfall.

Sustainable landscaping

  • Nearly all species planted in your community are well-adapted to dry and arid conditions.
  • Most plants don’t need much water and thrive under the full sun, with little shade.

Paperless communication

We’ve been slowly doing away with traditional paper-based communication, going digital on multiple fronts. Most general notices, announcements, community newsletters and CSF invoices are now sent via email – saving tens of thousands of pages of paper.

How you can contribute:

  • Start by fitting LEDs in all your light fittings.
  • Check the five-star energy rating every time you buy electrical appliances for your home. Try to pick more energy-efficient products.
  • Turn off the main outlet for devices when you’re not using them. All electrical devices consume phantom power when idle.
  • Keep your air conditioning at 24 degrees celsius for optimal cooling and efficiency.
  • Segregate recyclables like paper, plastic bottles and metal cans and drop them together in the recycling bins outside your home.

Build your own backyard kitchen garden

Sure, you can always pop into the neighbourhood store to get your greens – but why not grow your own vegetables and save time and money? We’ve gathered some great advice from our landscaping team that you can employ to grow crunchy cauliflowers, tangy tomatoes and juicy melons.

1. Check your calendar

The time of the year is a crucial factor when it comes to prepping your garden. The winter months from September to December are the best time to start sowing seeds.

2. Pick plants that thrive in UAE

Picking versatile species that perform well in the country’s climate helps you maintain a healthier garden.

Vegetables: Tomato, lettuce, beetroot, mint, radish, eggplant, pepper, cucumber

Fruits: Lemon, lime, pomegranate, mango, papaya, fig, guava

3. Ensure the soil is well nourished

Your plants soak up all the nutrients they need from the soil, making it crucial that the soil is well nourished with the necessary fertilisers. Soil is U.A.E. is generally low in nutrients, so make use of fertilisers rich in nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium.

Tip: You can also pour water used to cook vegetables or boil eggs – they’re loaded with water-soluble nutrients.

4. Water as necessary

Smaller containers need to have a hole at the bottom to allow excess water to drain. Soil in pots is likely to dry out faster, so they may need to be watered more frequently.

Tip: Insert a dry wooden chopstick into the soil near your plant, remove after ten minutes and check if the wood has dampened. If it’s dry, your soil needs water.

5. Keep an eye out for pests

As the weather changes, plants become more susceptible to fungus and insect attacks, so it’s a good idea to apply some fungicide.

Tip: For a chemical-free remedy, spray a solution of one litre water and one teaspoon of baking soda mixed with half a teaspoon of oil and a few drops of dish soap.
