Al-Ain to host inaugural edition of Eco-Smart Home Show in May

Al Ain Distribution Company, AADC, is gearing up to stage the first-ever edition of the Eco Smart Home Show from 7 to 9 May at Al Ain Convention Centre (AACC), which is aimed at raising awareness about the benefits of using energy efficient household devices.

The event will showcase a wide range of products and educate visitors on lifestyle changes that can be implemented towards reducing utility bills and achieving long-term benefits from energy conservation and resource preservation.

The Eco Home Smart Show will bring together leading organisations and companies involved in energy conservation on one platform to spotlight the latest technological innovations and advanced systems in air conditioning, irrigation, sunshades, home electronics, lighting, solar power, paint, windows and doors and energy efficient plumbing.

The show will take visitors on an interactive journey through a typical home and garden, with each area offering simple tips on how to cut water and electricity consumption and reduce utility costs. In addition, the Eco Smart Home Show will drive home the message that the optimal use of energy does not mean depriving people of energy or impacting their well-being, but is rather about employing best rational methods and avoiding wasteful use.

Mohammed Salem bin Omair Al Shamsi, Director General of Al Ain Distribution Company, AADC, said: "The launch of Abu Dhabi's inaugural Eco-Smart Home Show is aligned with our leadership's vision to shape the UAE into one of the top countries worldwide in energy conservation. It also supports AADC's strategy to promote sustainability and social responsibility through sensitising different sections of society about the importance of conserving energy and safeguarding natural resources.

"In addition to educating future generations to behave responsibly and reduce energy consumption where possible, the event will provide an ideal platform to explore the latest energy-efficient and eco-friendly technologies and products to help us build a sustainable future."
