Scope Case Solution
Affordable location
Al Air
A residential area yet untapped, Al Air, has a lot of new developments coming in. This area is the cheapest to rent in Dubai as per the Era rent calculator. The nearest metro station is Shipyard metro station on the red line and there are buses to and from Al Air. We do know that 2016 might see a huge attraction popping up at Al Air making the area more attractive for residents and tourists.
Au Hail
Au Hail is a popular residential area at a comfortable distance from the centre of Dubai and also has a dedicated metro station. It is mostly populated by Asian expatriates and has easy access to supermarkets and other utility outlets as well. Other areas in Dubai with nearly similar brackets are Al Ra, International Media Production Zone and Naif.
Low cost sustainable materials
As global populations increase, so will the need for accommodation. However, current mainstream building methods are unsustainable, producing large amounts of CO both during construction and throughout a building’s life. Thankfully, sustainability is becoming a priority for developers, and with many exciting innovations happening in the construction industry, sustainable addressing global accommodation needs seems possible. Here are five materials that could help:
1. Wool Bricks
Developed by Spanish and Scottish researchers with an aim to ‘obtain a composite that was more sustainable, non-toxic, using abundant local materials that would mechanically improve the bricks’ strength’, these wool bricks are exactly what the name suggests. Simply by adding wool and a natural polymer found in seaweed to the clay of the brick, the brick is 37% stronger than other bricks, and more resistant to the cold wet climate often found in Britain. They also dry hard, reducing the embodied energy as they don’t need to be fired like traditional bricks
2. Solar Tiles
Traditional roof tiles are either mined from the ground or set from concrete or clay – all energy intensive methods. Once installed, they exist to simply protect a building from the elements despite the fact that they spend a large portion of the day absorbing energy from the sun. With this in mind, many companies are now developing solar tiles. Unlike most solar units which are fixed on top of existing roofing, solar tiles are fully integrated into the building, protecting it from the weather and generating power for its inhabitants.

3. Sustainable Concrete
Whilst 95% of a building’s CO emissions are a result of the energy consumed during its life, there is much that can be done to reduce that 5% associated with construction. Concrete is an ideal place to start, partly because almost every building uses it, but mostly due to the fact that concrete is responsible for a staggering 7-10% of global CO emissions. More sustainable forms of concrete exist that use recycled materials in the mix. Crushed glass can be added, as can wood chips or slag – a byproduct of steel manufacturing. Whilst these changes are not radically transforming concrete, by simply using a material that would have otherwise gone to waste, the CO emissions associated with concrete are reduced........
