The service will take about an hour and homeowners can choose from options of a home visit, a video call or a phone call by an expert energy auditor appointed by the municipality.

The expert will assess the main energy and water consuming equipment of their home, such as ACs, lighting, appliances, water fittings, garden irrigation systems and the usage of such equipment.

After the assessment, homeowners will receive a short report, including recommendations on how to save energy and water. The recommendations may include usage of smart technologies and controls, improvement and replacement of inefficient equipment, better maintenance practices, as well as changes in consumption behaviours of some equipment such as ACs and water fixtures.

The new service is part of the Ras Al Khaimah Energy Efficiency and Renewables Strategy 2040, launched in 2018. The strategy foresees 30 per cent energy savings, 20 per cent water savings and 20 per cent contribution of renewable energy in electricity generation.
