Emirates Central Cooling Systems (Empower) has launched a Summer Campaign and urged its customers to follow eight simple steps to use district cooling more efficiently.
The Summer Campaign includes messages to educate consumers on best practices that will help reduce their bills and thus provide the best efficient and sustainable cooling service.
The eight tips
The world’s largest district cooling services provider has these eight tips for customers…
- Set the AC thermostat to 24°C and in ‘Auto’ mode
- Regularly monitor the AC thermostat
- Keep the air-conditioner filter clean
- Close window curtains
- Seal cracks in windows and doors
- Tint glass doors and windows
- Reduce heat from various sources
- Carry out house maintenance regularly
Ahmad bin Shafar, CEO of Empower, commented: “Consumers tend to be careless about the consumption rationalisation and may not realise the importance of conserving energy. So, Empower launched its Summer Campaign to educate customers about the value and importance of energy, the high cost of producing and delivering it affordably, and how conservation ensures a comfortable life for everyone, especially during the hot summer months.
“With this campaign, Empower is fulfilling its role and social responsibilities in helping customers not to be passive and unaware of the risks of wasting cooling energy, but become positive consumers with a high sense of responsibility towards themselves and their community.
Shafar added that these goals are in line with the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, which aims to reduce electricity and water consumption rates and make the emirate a global hub for green economy and the city with the lowest carbon footprint in the world by 2050.
“Rationalisation of district energy consumption is the responsibility of everyone, not a specific entity,” Shafar concluded. “All government and private sector efforts must be united in achieving this purpose.”
