Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corporation PJSC (Empower), a global leader in district cooling services, launches its annual summer campaign, 'Set at 24°C and Save', aiming to raise awareness about energy consumption.
This initiative encourages consumers to adjust their air conditioning units to a default temperature of 24°C, promoting not only cost savings on electricity bills but also a reduction in energy usage.
In its eleventh consecutive year, the campaign underscores Empower's commitment to sustainability. Running throughout the summer, it targets Empower's extensive customer base of over 136,000 individuals, spanning residential and commercial sectors.
Under the campaign, Empower emphasizes the importance of rationalizing district cooling usage by setting thermostats to 24°C auto mode. This approach aligns with the company's broader goals of minimizing consumption expenses, safeguarding the environment, conserving energy, and fostering a greener future.
Ahmad bin Shafar, CEO of Empower, highlighted the growing sense of responsibility among consumers towards energy conservation. He emphasized the collective effort required to achieve sustainable practices, emphasizing the significant impact of such actions on communities and future generations.
Bin Shafar stressed the benefits of adjusting air conditioning units to automatic mode at 24°C, citing its effectiveness in providing comfortable cooling while alleviating pressure on the district cooling network. This, in turn, leads to a notable reduction in power consumption and carbon emissions, contributing to efforts to mitigate global warming.
In essence, Empower's campaign serves as a timely reminder of the pivotal role individuals and businesses play in promoting energy efficiency and environmental sustainability, particularly during the peak summer season.
