District Cooling Initiated Efficiency & 
Sustainability In The UAE
UAE has taken efforts to be at the forefront of 
environment friendly initiatives. 
Being a region blessed with sunlight, the 
government has started  initiatives to generate 
considerable amount of electricity.

Population growth and Urbanization are factors 
that have led UAE to  
energy-efficient cooling systems.
District Cooling is the perfect solution to meet 
cooling demands while3 reducing environmental 
impact.
Advantages of District 
Cooling Systems 
Advantages of District Coolin
g system
 out number traditional 
systems : 
1.District Cooling plants 
function efficiently for 30 
years 
2.Provide cooling to large 
number of buildings and also 
operate in remote areas.
3.Meets cooling 
requirements of apartments, 
5
commercial buildings, hotels 
and shopping malls.
Abu Dhabi Department of Energy 
states that DCS has the ability to 
decrease energy consumption by 
40% while maintaining low levels 
of CO2 emissions.

Pointers for Government when expanding 
DCS operations
● Understanding between urban planners and government 
is needed to set the plant at the right place within 
budget
● Plant needs to be equipped with right machinery and 
allocated sufficient space
● For the cooling cost to be affordable, it is necessary to 
regulate demand and supply of electricity and water.
Energy-efficient district cooling system is unavoidable
