Decobuild 2024 Unveils Latest Smart Home Technologies And Sustainable Housing In Dubai

The Decoration, Interior Design, and Building Material Exhibition "Decobuild 2024" continued to attract attendees on its second day at the Dubai World Trade Centre. Organised by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment and Leader Events Management, the event showcases government housing projects and advanced home solutions.

The exhibition highlights the latest trends in smart home technology, sustainability, and advanced design solutions. It aligns with global standards and innovations in the construction industry. The event features comprehensive awareness-raising and educational programmes and workshops in both Arabic and English.

These sessions are tailored for citizens and visitors planning to build their homes or engage in finishing and decoration work. They are delivered by seasoned experts and specialists in housing, interior design, and engineering consultancy.

Haitham Al Khaja, Director of Communication and Marketing at the Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment, noted that these workshops are part of ongoing efforts to develop Dubai's housing sector. They support the UAE's sustainability objectives by integrating modern technologies to create green and environmentally friendly buildings.

"By integrating modern technologies, we are not only focusing on creating green and environmentally friendly buildings but also enhancing their quality, performance, and efficiency. This ultimately improves the quality of life for our citizens through innovative solutions," he stated.

Understanding Smart Systems

One workshop titled "Understanding Smart Systems and Choosing the Right One" explored the features of smart homes. These homes incorporate internal sensors, remote controls, and advanced applications connected via the Internet. They offer residents enhanced comfort, safety, and time efficiency while promoting environmental sustainability through renewable energies like solar power.
