Empower saves 16.4% in cooling consumption

Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corporation (Empower) saved almost 16.4 per cent in June 2015 compared to the same period last year, as part of its summer campaign ‘Set to 24°C and Save’.

Ahmad bin Shafar, CEO, Empower, said adopting energy saving tips helped consumers reduce their consumption and bills without affecting their air-conditioning experience. “We achieved significant results in just one month and expect more impressive results by the time the campaign ends in September. We had record savings in projects at Jumeirah Beach Residence, Jumeirah Lake Towers, Business Bay area and International Media Production Zone.”

Prior to the launch of the campaign, the company had provided tips such as setting the room temperatureto 24°C, in addition to other recommendations that help district cooling users minimise their energy consumption especially during peak times in summer.

This is the result of monitoring around 2500 billed tenants in Empower projects. Currently, around 746 buildings are using Empower district cooling services, catering to50,000 customers.

Empower currently operates more than 1million RT, providing environmentally responsible district cooling services to large-scale real estate developments in the emirate.
