- Decarbonization program with UAE’s Ministry of Power and Infrastructure will see 60 buildings retrofitted with know-how for power effectivity
- Program targets 27% power and water consumption discount in comparison with baseline
- Power saving objective equal to fifteen,400 metric tons of CO2 discount
- Siemens has already efficiently carried out retrofits to seven Ministry buildings, leading to 20% power and water financial savings
Siemens Good Infrastructure has signed a contract with the Ministry of Power and Infrastructure within the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for a decarbonization program which can see 60 authorities buildings retrofitted with know-how centered on power effectivity and person consolation.
This system, which varieties a part of the UAE’s technique to realize its web zero 2050 targets, is meant to avoid wasting as much as 27 p.c baseline power and water consumption yearly. The power saving objective is equal to a CO2 discount of 15,400 metric tons. This system follows a complete examine by which Siemens efficiently carried out retrofits in a consultant pattern of seven of the ministry’s buildings, making a baseline of power consumption and an evaluation of anomalies to tell the number of buildings for the retrofit program.
“This program with Siemens is a testomony to our dedication to setting a worldwide commonplace for sustainability and effectivity within the constructed setting,” stated His Excellency, Suhail Mohamed Al Mazrouei, Minister of Power and Infrastructure for the UAE. “The UAE is devoted to main by instance, and this retrofitting initiative is an important step in our journey in the direction of reaching our long-term environmental objectives.
The Ministry’s technique, stemming from the broader UAE technique to realize web zero emissions by 2050, encompasses a holistic method to the sustainable improvement of key industries like power, infrastructure, actual property, and transportation. This program, which is initially concentrating on healthcare and training services, marks an important step in our nation’s speedy journey to decarbonize all sectors of the financial system.”
“We’re delighted to accomplice with the UAE Ministry of Power and Infrastructure on this pioneering decarbonization program,” stated Matthias Rebellius, Managing Board Member of Siemens AG and CEO of Good Infrastructure. “To speed up decarbonization, we’ll deploy revolutionary and scalable options comparable to this program, which can function a blueprint for decarbonizing buildings. Along with the Ministry, we won’t solely increase the power effectivity of buildings, but additionally considerably contribute to the UAE’s sustainability and power effectivity objectives.”
Siemens will deploy know-how to improve heating, air flow and air-con (HVAC) methods, combine motion and lighting sensors, and set up constructing administration methods to centralize power administration. Implementing these measures are anticipated to end in substantial reductions in carbon emissions, and enhancements in operational effectivity. Options will embody know-how from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio. The open digital enterprise platform permits prospects to speed up their digital transformation simpler, sooner and at scale.
