GEC NEWS WIREExisting buildings, as opposed to new construction, account for the vast majority of energy consumption in the residential and commercial sector. But a building doesn’t need to be new to be energy efficient. Owners and facility managers are now realizing that retrofitting key components with the latest technology can significantly reduce energy consumption, maintenance calls and operating costs.
Emerson has long been dedicated to raising the bar in energy efficiency. Their participation and sponsorship of the 2017 Retrofit Tech UAE Summit on March 20th and 21st is just one of the ways they are communicating the importance of new technology. “As an organization, we are committed to protecting the environment and providing solutions that decrease energy consumption,” explained Aniruddha Bhat, Director of Marketing, Emerson.
“Our next generation ZX refrigeration condensing units enjoy proven success for applications such as supermarkets, convenience stores, cold storage and hotels. The units offer energy saving features, intelligent store architecture, improved system reliability and user friendly retrofitting capability,” added Aniruddha.
Even in a city such as Dubai, where many of the buildings are under 20 years old, there is still a strong case to retrofit for energy savings. In addition, there are several quantitative benefits including reduced management and operating costs, extended equipment lifespan, increased property value, and enhancing occupancy rates.
