  1. Keep It Cool: Gulf Cooperation Council Lessons On District Cooling

  2. Traditional cooling methods like A.Cs are continuously evolving • To deal with such issues, many countries including the GCC have adapted district cooling solutions.

  3. As is expected, the rise in demand for air conditioners will mostly occur in countries with a hot and humid climate. • As living standards increase in countries like Indonesia, China and India, more people can afford air conditioners. • The major drawback of traditional systems is that separate units are required for separate buildings. • While one unit is used to cool residential buildings another one is used for commercial/industrial buildings. • Both these units add to the electrical load as they continue to cool the buildings even when residents/employees are not present at home/offices.

  4. Commercial district cooling offers 20 to 30% more efficiency compared to conventional cooling methods. • The demand for cooling is aggregated among different consumers like residents and employees. • Here a single chiller plant is used to distribute cool air to all the buildings through a distribution network.

  5. Since it is based on demand, the peak power capacity is reduced by 30%. • With these type of office cooling solutions, thermal energy storage adds to the savings. • It also completely cuts down on investments in generators, transmitters and infrastructure for distribution. • Another major advantage of this system is that it can work in connection with renewable sources like solar making it future ready.

  6. The GCC has extensive experience in the the application of district cooling in the middle east. • It can help other nations by giving helpful suggestions regarding many aspects like technical, commercial and legal. • The most important factor to be regulated is the price. • Since district cooling is divided among several stakeholders, their interests and objectives vary. • Regulations are needed to ensure that developers and providers of the solution charge a fair price from the consumers.
