As part of its campaign ‘Welcome Summer with Green Habits,’ Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has urged its customers to take proactive measures before travelling. These steps ensure efficient electricity and water usage and help avoid waste.
DEWA encourages customers to activate the ‘Away Mode’ feature through their accounts on DEWA’s website and smart app. This feature allows them to monitor their electricity and water usage while travelling. They can receive daily or weekly data by email. Moreover, DEWA advises customers to switch off and unplug electrical appliances before leaving home. This prevents energy drain in standby mode. Additionally, customers can update their lighting control system settings. This reduces electricity consumption by automatically switching external lights on and off as needed.
Furthermore, DEWA recommends customers shut off their home’s water supply before travelling. They should inspect internal connections and fix any leaks with the help of a specialized technician. Performing necessary maintenance work can significantly reduce water waste. DEWA provides the ‘High Water Usage Alert’ service to help customers detect leaks in water connections after the meter. The system sends instant notifications to customers if the smart meter detects any unusual increase in consumption.
DEWA offers many innovative digital services through its website and smart app. These services allow customers to monitor, manage, and control their electricity and water consumption proactively. Additionally, DEWA provides tips and guidelines through its website and social media channels. These resources encourage society members to enhance sustainability and adopt a sustainable lifestyle.
By following these guidelines, customers can ensure their homes are energy-efficient even while they are away. This helps promote a greener and more sustainable community.
