The world is not enough - Beyond traditional markets

Middle East & APAC

We need to focus on Cooling

39th Euroheat & Power Congress | (6) 7-8 May 2019 | Nantes, France - www.ehpcongress.org #19EHPcong

Current Market trends and Global Warming

• Using air conditioners and electric fansto stay cool accounts for nearly 20% ofthe total electricity used in buildingsaround the world today.

• The use of energy for space cooling isgrowing faster than for any other enduse in buildings, more than triplingbetween 1990 and 2016.

• Rising demand for space cooling drivesup CO2 emissions.

• Of the 2.8 billion people living in the hottest parts of the world, only 8% currently possess ACs.

Role of Cooling in the Heat Island Effect

Role of Cooling in the Heat Island Effect

Region with a hot, humid climate : Climate change

is causing the regional climate to become warmer

(1.4-4.6˚C by 2100).

Significant and increasing urban heat island effect

(UHI) :

• Health reduced outdoor activities, increased heat stress

• Economy reduced productivity, reduced attractiveness as a destination for

investment, reduced liveability

• Disruption increased extreme rain events and flooding

• Environment negative ecological effects, loss of natural capital

Cooling – Energy Efficiency

Cooling is the fastest growing use of energy in buildings

Without action to address energy efficiency, energy

demand for space cooling will more than triple by 2050 –

consuming as much electricity as all of China and India

today.

World energy consumption for space cooling in buildings

Partners & Leaders:


The problem is, today's consumers are not buying the most efficient Acs. The average efficiency of air conditioners

sold today is less than half of what is typically available on the shelves – and one third of best available

technology.

Seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER).


Expected growth x 3

Partners & Leaders:


Key message • Global best available technology is more than twice as energy efficient as market

averages and more than three times more efficient than the most inefficient models currently

available.

Cooling and Power

Renewables can match to some extent thepower needed for cooling demand

Actions to curb cooling-related energyneed for a new approach

• The need for a holistic approach (urban planning, Infrastructure planning process and guidelines, diversified DES) ;

• Energy Efficiency is key : • Technical and minimum performance standards (KPIs address reliability, energy

efficiency, water use, maintenance and customer service) ;• DC is most cost-effective (diversity factor, Efficiency of the systems, peak demand

management, Storage, etc.) ;• DC is most cost-effective if system planning is informed by timely and comprehensive

real estate development planning data (development phase, occupancy, etc.) ;• DC can reduce the Heat island effect ;• Storages help to smooth peak demand ;

• The need for Improving cooling technology through research and development (new refrigerants, in buildings emitters, etc.).

Actions to curb cooling-related energyWhy regulate District Cooling – Middle East actions

Qatar• Regulatory framework recommended to the Qatar General Electricity & Water Corp.

(Kahramaa) in November 2015 ;• Framework addressed licensing, contracts, market competition, price regulation,

mandating and technical and performance standards.

Abu Dhabi• Regulatory recommendations to the Abu Dhabi Regulation & Supervision Bureau

(RSB) finalized in August 2016 ;

Dubai• Recommendations to the Dubai Regulatory and Supervisory Bureau (RSB) for a DC

regulatory framework developed in 2014 ;• Framework included provisions relating to licensing, mandating, performance

standards, light price oversight, and dispute resolution

Actions to curb cooling-related energy

• Pendinginan Megajana , Cyberjaya, Malaysia

• Description: District cooling with 2 plants and 12 km network supplying chilled water to 49 customers’ buildings in urban zone.

• Capacities: cooling 49 MW(r) of electricalcentrifugal chillers and thermal energy storages of 317 MWh(r)

• Added values: Energy efficiency (COP = 3,67), thermal energy storages, Digital tools to improvethe energy management ;
