Hotel sector urged to adopt latest cooling systems

Empower urges hotel industry to adopt latest district cooling systems in an effort to boost hospitality and tourism sector while saving natural resources.

Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corporation (Empower), has urged hotels and hospitality companies to adopt district cooling systems, in an effort to enhance flexibility and efficiency in providing cooling services, in addition to energy savings and conservation of natural resources, according to local media.

Empower notes that district cooling stations are located in separate areas far from buildings, which in turn contributes to enhancing the experience of visitors and guests, allowing for better use of spaces that are normally reserved for traditional air conditioning equipment.

“The hospitality industry in Dubai is more aware of the importance of district cooling as 13% of the buildings connected to our services are hotels. By adopting district cooling systems, hotels can focus on their core business and let us handle what we specialise in,” said Empower CEO HE Ahmad Bin Shafar, speaking to TravelDailyNews.
