DUBAI, (Pakistan Point News - 17th Apr, 2019) The Emirates Central Cooling Systems Cooperation, Empower, has launched two guides for building owners and designers on district cooling services and operating systems.
Following the naming of Dubai as a "Champion City" for global district cooling, Empower launched the 'Owner’s Guide for Buildings Served by District Cooling', and an updated edition of the 'District Cooling Guide' for designers and building owners around the world.
Empower CEO, Ahmad bin Shafar said that the company will continue its efforts to transform Dubai into a global hub for clean energy and a green economy.
This was stated after the official announcement of the launch of two guides, during a workshop sponsored by Empower and organised by ASHRAE, to review the guides by specialists and researchers in the cooling sector from around the world.
The 'Owner’s Guide for Buildings Served by District Cooling’ is a reference for building owners and designers, providing them with basic information on the advantages of district cooling services and the installation and operation of cooling systems in a simple manner.
The guide addresses owners' concerns, such as a selection of the design consultant, responsibilities for the maintenance of equipment within buildings, and the specific structures for district cooling pricing, in addition to service linkage, networks, meters and maintenance. The guide also reviews design flaws and other system constraints on existing buildings, and includes various supplements with case studies on performance issues.
