Urges Gulf developers to move from conventional AC systems towards new cooling technologies

In line with its commitment to new cooling solutions, Empower has urged local and Gulf-based developers to adopt district cooling technologies and gradually move away from conventional air conditioning systems to save environmental resources.

During the launch of Cityscape Abu Dhabi 2012, held from April 22 to 25 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, Ahmed Bin Shafar, CEO of Empower, said that the time had come when adopting district cooling in the real estate units was no longer an option, but a critical necessity.

Stressing on Empower’s firm belief that district cooling has a huge potential in the region, he said: “The real estate sector is still in its early stages in most of the Arab countries, and it is regarded as one of the most dynamic sectors. This makes it critical to disseminate awareness of the winning features of district cooling technologies which reduces power consumption significantly.”
