Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corporation (Empower) has launched a campaign, ‘Set and Save 24°C’, urging its customers to reduce district cooling energy consumption during summer.
The Dubai Financial Market-listed and the world’s largest district cooling services provider said that the summer heat may push customers to turn down AC to a lower temperature, but it results in a huge energy waste and heavy consumption bills.
Ahmad bin Shafar, CEO of Empower, explained that setting air conditioners to the automatic mode at 24°C is an ideal option for effective and comfort cooling and contributes to preserving natural resources and protecting the environment.
“Rationalising energy consumption should be a common focus for all of us, whether as a service provider or beneficiaries, because it is a sustainable practice that brings great and multiple benefits to the community and even to future generations,” Bin Shafar said.
“This process ensures low pressure on the district cooling network and contributes to a significant reduction in carbon emissions, which in turn reduces global warming.
