Engaging with the region’s premier developers and legislators, Tabreed champions the virtues of District Cooling as the only viable option for Sustainable Cities
Tabreed, the world’s leading district cooling company, has completed its participation at this year’s Big 5 Construct Egypt, where members of its executive management team led the discussion on the vital topics of decarbonisation through planning efficiency and the role of district cooling in sustainable cities.
This was the sixth edition of the most influential construction event in Egypt, with technology and sustainability both high on its agenda. For Tabreed, this presented an unmissable opportunity to engage with developers, architects, planners, engineers, consultants and government officials, to openly discuss the opportunities available to them through the uptake of district cooling. The industry has already proved itself over many decades to enormously benefit governments, customers, communities and investors across the GCC, enabling societal progress and rapid, sustainable growth.
“District cooling is universally acknowledged as a vital player in the mitigation of climate change,” commented Tabreed’s Chief Executive Officer, Khalid Al Marzooqi. “As global populations and temperatures rise, so is the demand for cooling. Meeting that demand should not cost the earth and district cooling has shown itself to be indispensable, using 50% less energy than conventional air conditioning.
“Every year our operations prevent the release of millions of tons of carbon emissions and Egypt already benefits from Tabreed’s presence – we provide cooling for the prestigious Downtown Katameya in New Cairo. We see enormous potential for further expansion across the country, which is undergoing a significant construction boom with many new cities planned or under development. Big 5 Construct, then, has provided us with an excellent platform from which to address vitally important and influential decision makers about incorporating district cooling in their plans at the earliest possible stages, so it forms an integral part of a sustainable and intelligent infrastructure.”
