Ashrae endorses DC manual
01 April 2013
THE first global District Cooling and Heating Design Manual, exclusively funded and sponsored by Empower, the largest district cooling company in the Middle East and Africa (Mena) region, was approved at the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (Ashrae) Conference 2013 which recently concluded in Dallas, US.
The international manual was given unanimous approval by the members of the technical committee, in the presence of Ashrae president Tom Watson and Ahmed Bin Shafar, CEO of Empower.
The UAE is the first country to sponsor the release of this international manual that will serve as reference for district cooling (DC) and heating design. Empower funded all the studies and research required to create the manual. Moreover, the company supported the manual with a case study on its Business Bay plant room in Dubai, UAE.
“Empower is proud to be the only district cooling company in the world to support the research and studies for the international manual which has been designed as a global reference point for district heating and cooling. We believe it will raise the bar on the standards in these two industries across the world,” says Bin Shafar.
