New ecological houses, which provide residents with information about carbon dioxide emissions, have appeared in the UAE

The Sustainable City, the first fully functioning community in the Middle East, has introduced eco-friendly studio-apartments for living in Dubai.

This community was designed using highly insulated materials. It is powered by renewable energy sources from solar panels on the roof.

To avoid Single-Use-Plastics (SUP), studio-apartments are supplied with filtered drinking water, and to facilitate waste recycling, houses are equipped with two containers (recyclables and other waste). The houses are equipped with low-consumption lamps, as well as water- and energy-efficient washing machines. Eco-friendly cleaning products are used when cleaning the rooms.

Residents of such houses have access to an animal sanctuary, as well as to running and cycling paths.
