Dewa extends '24C' campaign to businesses

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) has extended its annual campaign ‘Set your AC to 24C’ to raise awareness amongst commercial consumers about the importance of rationalising consumption.

The Set your AC to 24C campaign encourages consumers to adopt environmentally-friendly lifestyles at their homes and workplaces by setting their air conditioning to 24C, which is the optimal temperature for the human body. Setting the air conditioning thermostat to 24C also helps to keep the environment by reducing power consumption and also carbon dioxide emissions, which is also known as the carbon footprint.

This move enables commercial consumers to achieve sustainable financial savings, especially as air conditioning consumes a large percentage of energy in commercial properties.

The campaign enables users to support Dewa’s efforts to promote environmental awareness and reduce carbon dioxide emissions to protect the environment and support  sustainable development of Dubai.
