Empower to showcase latest district cooling solutions
DUBAI, November 23, 2015
Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corporation (Empower), a leading district cooling services provider, has urged construction material vendors exhibiting at The Big 5 International Building and Construction Show in Dubai, UAE to emphasise on latest district cooling solutions.
The show will run from November 23 to 26 at Dubai World Central.
Ahmad Bin Shafar, chief executive officer, said: “The UAE construction industry is expected to record steady growth in coming years. A study by Business Monitor International has revealed that for the year 2014, the construction sector witnessed a growth of 5.5 per cent with total value of Dh143 billion ($38.9 billion) in 2014 compared to Dh132.9 billion in 2013.
"The value of the sector is expected to grow by 9.3 per cent to Dh155.2 billion in 2015, compared to 2014. Viewed against these developments, integrating district cooling in the construction projects is no longer an option but a must for companies to ensure environmental efficiency.”
“Empower always reaches out to the main players in the construction industry for familiarising them with the benefits of applying DC systems. The benefits to the environment and economy in the long run significantly fuel sustainability, efficiency, and reliability of cooling for the construction sector," said Bin Shafar.
"We also think of it the other way around: if the construction industry becomes aware of the huge value that DC brings, there will be faster adoption of green practices and smart transformation of Dubai. That is why we always explore cooperation opportunities with new partners to enhance adoption of DC in new construction projects,” he added.
Moreover, Empower is collaborating with Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa), and the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy (DSCE) in rehabilitation and restoration projects for thousands of old buildings in the emirate.
“We have several expansion projects, which requires extensive research and interaction. We also seek to share our successful experience and demonstrate the reliability of district cooling as the best alternative solution for conventional cooling methods,” Bin Shafar added. - TradeArabia News Service
