According to Bin Shafar, demand on district cooling systems and services has risen significantly given the growing demand for sustainable and energy efficient products. Such increase in demand has been sparked by the new conditions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic that have prompted companies to search for new efficient solutions. Further, many companies wish to have a clear footprint in terms of preserving the environment and reducing carbon emissions locally and globally.
