Emirates District Cooling (Emicool) – a subsidiary of Dubai Investments PJSC – and Siemens – a leading technology company – have today announced a collaborative partnership with the intent to jointly develop various initiatives promoting energy saving measures and solutions in a bid to strengthen sustainability and drive economic and environmental benefits across Emicool facilities.

The anticipated solutions will centre around innovations in sustainability and digitalization and include the implementation of energy audits at Emicool plants to identify savings potential and explore areas of improvement across the plants.

Six main areas will be explored, with Siemens’ expertise used to further Emicool’s objectives in Sustainability, Innovation & Technology, Responsible Operations & Reliable Service, Training, the Promotion of Digitalization and Corporate Social Responsibility.

Amongst the benefits will be increased energy efficiency through the optimisation of technology solutions, resulting in educational, environmental and economic benefits to the community.
