Dubai, UAE – Considerable steps are being taken to reduce the UAE’s carbon footprint, with the building sector identified as a key sector for improvement in the country’s National Climate Change Plan (2017-2050), the framework to transition into a climate resilient green economy and achieve a better quality of life.
A number of initiatives have been launched in Dubai to mitigate climate change, including Etihad ESCO’s aim to generate huge energy and water savings by retrofitting 30,000 buildings by 2030 in Dubai, and the Dubai Demand Side Management (DSM) Retrofit Program which also has a target of 30,000 buildings by 2030.
Considerable efforts are being made by both the public and private sector to create the transformative changes and measurable positive impacts outlined by the UAE’s environmental policy, including cutting energy consumption by 40% by 2030. But more work and cooperation is needed.
Grundfos, the pioneer in water and climate solutions, has been championing sustainability and carrying out transformative work in both the public and private sector for over 75 years.
Through its work with partners in the public and private sector, Grundfos’ retrofit solutions have saved at least 20 million kWh of energy in the region as of 2020. The company will not let up in its efforts to champion sustainability through its sustainable solutions and its efforts to educate and empower stakeholders to make more sustainable choices.
The latest in its efforts to encourage sustainability as a way of life is a webinar which will emphasise the importance of retrofitting pumps in commercial buildings for energy and water conservation, cost savings and sustainability.
The ‘Energy Optimisation for Commercial Buildings’ webinar takes place on Monday March 1 from 11:00am to 01:00 pm GST. The practical and informative session will focus on the problems caused by inefficient pumping systems and highlight the potential savings that could be achieved by retrofitting with the latest automated, high-efficiency pump systems.
The webinar is aimed at engineers, facility managers, consultants, building owners and students in the region, with Grundfos specialists tackling energy optimization, optimizing HVAC systems, and proportional pressure boosting in booster systems over three sessions.
Shiney Jacob, Area Sales Director for Commercial Building Systems - Gulf at GRUNDFOS, said: “Our webinar has been designed to educate professionals on the solutions that pump retrofit will bring to commercial buildings. Our highly trained experts will explore the many benefits that retrofit brings, not only in terms of cost and efficiency but also in terms of reduced operational disruptions, improved performance, and increased customer satisfaction.
Buildings are responsible for a staggering 40% of global carbon emissions, and retrofitting buildings is an integral part in the fight against climate change and global warming. Building owners, engineers, consultants, facility managers can all play a significant role in achieving sustainable development, and this webinar will equip them with the understanding and knowledge needed to make informed decisions and important changes which will have a positive impact on the future.”
Grundfos has been providing energy efficient pumping solutions for over 75 years. As part of its commitments to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals 6 and 13, Grundfos develops sustainable water and climate solutions that use as little energy as possible, incorporating technology and innovation that make a significant contribution to sustainable water access and use.
