Where your energy goes

In most Saudi homes, air conditioning accounts for well over half of summer electricity use. Lighting, water heaters and always-on electronics make up most of the rest. That's why the biggest savings come from controlling cooling intelligently.

Climate control: the biggest lever

LifeSmart thermostats and AC controllers (such as the Nature Thermostat and the Central AC Smart Controller) let you schedule set-points, raise the temperature by 1–2 °C when rooms are empty, and switch off units when windows open.

Each degree of set-point increase typically reduces cooling energy by several percent — small changes, automated every day, add up.

Blinds that fight the sun

Motorised curtains closing automatically on sun-facing façades during peak hours reduce heat gain, so the AC works less. Scenes can reopen them at sunset for the view.

Plugs and standby loads

Smart plugs with energy monitoring show exactly what a water heater, TV cabinet or office PC consumes — and cut standby power on a schedule.

Sensors that switch things off

Motion and presence sensors turn lights and AC down in empty rooms, corridors, majlis and guest rooms that are rarely used.
