Dubai:
Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest tower, saves up to 3,200
KW of energy every day by tapping solar power to heat the 140,000
litres of water required by its occupants.
This translates into an annual saving of 690 MW, said Ahmad Al
Matrooshi, Managing Director of Emaar Properties that constructed
the tower.
“Energy efficient measures, especially through use of renewable
sources, are not an option but an imperative for sustainable growth.
By leveraging solar power, Burj Khalifa is setting an example as
well as creating a referral mark on how urban developments can
effectively integrate energy-friendly initiatives,” he added.
The heating system is installed and operated by SOLE UAE Solar
Systems, Europe’s oldest solar thermal company, WAM news agency
reported.
Its significant benefits include cost savings on energy uses as well
as reduced pollution levels, leading to a healthier environment,
said John Owen of SOLE UAE.
A total of 378 solar panels of 2.7 sq metres each, are installed at
the roof of the building. These panels function on the basis of
photovoltaic electricity generation technology and can heat 140,000
litres of water in approximately 7 hours.
Burj has also adopted several other measures to reduce water and
electricity consumption in the complex, which houses luxurious
residences, commercial suites, swimming pools, health facilities and
restaurants.
