Saving Energy and Costs with District Cooling-The Correlation Explained
                     Saving Energy and Costs 
with District Cooling : The 
Correlation Explained
When the entire world is working towards a more sustainable future the UAE is 
not left behind. UAE has proposed diversifying their energy needs by 2050 
where seventy-five per cent will come from renewable green sources. The 
government also aims to set up more energy-efficient technologies to improve 
energy management without compromising the comfort of its citizen. 
An important step to achieving this goal is to set up centralised district cooling 
systems. In this article, we will understand how low-cost cooling solutions such 
as district cooling systems can be beneficial for your energy bill and for our 
environment. 
There are three distinct benefits of adopting this new technology:
