UAE-based Al Ghurair Properties, the real estate development arm of Al Ghurair Investment, has announced a strategic partnership with global technology major Siemens for implementing its world-leading patented Siemens Demand Flow Solution technology along with digital services at its key development in Dubai.
Siemens Demand Flow Solution optimises both chilled water and air distribution systems without compromising on the comfort of the cooling services. It is designed to deliver immediate results through automated technology, and its built-in analytics alleviate constraints on customers’ internal resources and extend equipment life.
The partnership aims to accelerate the Emirati group’s objectives in the areas of innovation, digitalisation, and sustainability at the Al Ghurair Centre.
The technology provided by Siemens will aim to optimise the performance of the mall’s systems, enabling the monitoring and controlling of the building’s operations and functions, including air conditioning and energy usage.
Siemens’ solution will help reduce carbon emissions, conserve energy and lower operating costs. It aims to generate potential energy savings of up to 2.7M kWh annually, which will curb carbon emissions by 1,400 tonnes a year.
Additionally, the technology will allow Al Ghurair Centre to operate on a cloud platform to enable smart operations such as providing live updates of its energy consumption and carbon dioxide impact, as well as embedding an interactive dashboard to demonstrate consumption across any time period.
