DUBAI- Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corporation, Empower, has signed a gold sponsorship agreement for two years with The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, ASHRAE, Region-At-Large, RAL, for its activities being held in Africa, the Middle East, South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka), and Turkey.
Through this sponsorship, Empower pursues to shed light on ASHRAE’s RAL activities and its role in supporting energy efficient cooling solutions, in addition to the UAE’s efforts to support district cooling, which aims to create the desired balance between economic development, preserving the environment, reducing carbon emissions, and achieving sustainability.
The agreement was signed by Ahmad bin Shafar, CEO of Empower, and Dr. Ahmed Alaa Eldin, Director and Regional Chairman of ASHRAE Region-At-Large. Bin Shafar said that the agreement is an affirmation of strengthening the ongoing cooperation between Empower and ASHRAE RAL, in the field of district cooling. He emphasised the importance for supporting ASHRAE’s RAL global efforts, through several future agreements between the two organisations, as it is the global sustainability partner for many district cooling companies.
"Empower seeks to reduce emissions by encouraging investors and owners of major projects, in the UAE and abroad, to adopt efficient district cooling systems, and also by sponsoring and participating in ASHRAE’s RAL conferences, both locally and internationally.
This supports the vision of our wise leadership, as well as the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) for the transition towards sustainability," he concluded.
