Tabreed is providing district cooling in Muscat, Oman.
Tabreed Oman, the Middle East’s award-winning district cooling pioneer, has signed a contract with Knowledge Oasis Muscat (KOM) to provide district cooling for three buildings in the Rusayl-based technology park.
“We have been at the forefront of the cooling industry for almost a decade and, in 2007 alone, provided cooling services to 473 buildings, covering a total of 13.92 million square metres across the GCC, as well as the wider Middle East,” said Tabreed Oman business development manager Musallam Al Hadifi.
Public Establishment for Industrial Estates (PEIE) CEO Hilal Al Ahsani, said: “Tabreed Oman’s cooling solutions will help us reduce both our capital investment and operating expenses.” It has been estimated that, for every 10,000 tons of district cooling provided, the quantity of carbon dioxide emissions are reduced by 14,700 tons a year.
Global energy experts estimate that 75% of the energy used across the Gulf is for cooling purposes. By using district cooling, KOM expects to reduce its electricity bill by 30%. “Tabreed Oman’s cooling solutions will help us reduce both our capital investment and operating expenses,” said Al Ahsani.
“Tabreed Oman is providing our tenants with the latest green technology – one that puts the environment first.”
“Our partnership with Tabreed Oman emphasises the importance we place on providing a more efficient infrastructure network to our growing number of tenants on KOM. We are delighted to be able to offer technology that has such strong environmental credentials.
“Indeed, I believe firmly that this signing is a very important step, and one that will help businesses around Oman focus on environmental issues,” said KOM DG Mohammed Al Maskari.
