General Electric Consumer and Industrial showcased an innovative home automation solution, HabiTEQ, in Dubai that promotes energy efficiency, safety and comfort in homes.

In line with GE’s ecomagination initiative that enables customers and users to meet pressing environmental challenges, HabiTEQ is essentially a pre-wired electrical distribution and home automation solution that integrates multiple user interfaces through touch screens. 

Philippe Bertrand, general manager consumer and industrial, Global Market Development, said: "Energy efficiency is now highly regarded as a social responsibility to which individuals can contribute effectively."

"HabiTEQ is a perfect complement to the ‘Green Building’ initiative currently rolled out in Dubai to encourage home-users to promote sustainable practices involving energy efficiency," he added.

According to Bertrand, HabiTEQ helps manage efficient residential living spaces and also cuts costs for end-users.

Home owners have the ability to control applications and manage energy usage by seamlessly integrating safety, security, lighting, climate, audio and other lifestyle aspects.

It is provided in four standard scalable versions that can accommodate virtually any application. It is programmed to work with any wall-mounted switch, on any HMI, for renovations or new construction projects.

Easy to install in apartments or villas, HabiTEQ can be infinitely customizable through software for adding tangible value for builders, installers and homeowners.

Initial response to the launch of HabiTEQ has been encouraging. Several international technical solutions speakers addressed the audience on GE’s home automation solutions capabilities.

GE Consumer and Industrial is at the forefront of developing advanced technologies and solutions that enhance the quality of lifestyle of end-users – at homes and the workplace, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
