Where a home loses energy and water
Six places to look first.
- 1
Air conditioning
Usually the biggest electricity use. Set 24°C and service units every year.
- 2
Lighting
LEDs use far less power and last longer than halogen bulbs.
- 3
Water heater
Lower the set temperature, or switch to solar water heating.
- 4
Taps and showers
Aerators and flow regulators cut flow without losing comfort.
- 5
Appliances on standby
Switch off at the wall and choose high star-rated models.
- 6
Garden irrigation
Drip lines, timers and watering at night save the most water.

The story of the ghaf
The ghaf is the national tree of the UAE. It stays green through the hottest summers, sends its roots deep underground to find water, and keeps its leaves small to lose as little as possible. For generations it has given shade, shelter and food in the desert.
We took our name from it because it shows what we want for every home, farm and building: to thrive on less. Ghafa is an Emirati company, founded in Al Ain in 2016.
