The Sustainable City in Dubai is a living example of how to reduce energy footprints in a hot climate while avoiding environmental pollution. Covering 114 acres, it is home to more than 2,000 trees, most of which are native. Despite the extremely arid climate, The Sustainable City (TSC) primarily runs on solar energy harnessed from car parks and rooftops. A flourishing, recreational farm stretches across the city, forming a “Central Green Spine” that includes 10 biodome greenhouses and around 1,000 square meters of open land for community farming.
RADIUS completed a retrofit of the city’s irrigation system, installing moisture and flow sensors with live-view visibility of all smart system hardware through Baseline BaseManager. The Sustainable City’s stakeholders have observed a reduction in maintenance costs and a 40% decrease in overall water usage, contributing to their sustainability goals. Thanks to the new smart irrigation system, sensors provide graphs and live alerts, enabling operators to ensure consistent water output for landscaping practices such as lawn mowing and plant watering.
