How can cities & communities accelerate their energy transition?

Cities and communities are at the forefront of energy demand and consumption. Moreover, the increase in fossil fuel consumption in urban areas has put cities & communities at the frontline of climate change. Energy consumption across the world, and particularly in the GCC has not only been rapid but also very intensive. The region’s increased reliance on oil and gas has contributed to increased carbon emissions. However, the region has committed to net zero goals to drastically reduce the carbon footprint and adopt energy-efficient methods for a more sustainable future.

ENGIE Solutions, a leader in energy transition, helps cities and communities commit to their net zero goals while keeping costs down with our diverse portfolio of energy solutions.

    A leading medical university in Saudi Arabia unlocks 32% energy savings with ENGIE’s Energy Efficiency Solution

    Our client, a leading medical university in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), and a world-class health care complex located in Riyadh, had an annual energy consumption of 133 GWh in 2019. In line with the KSA’s  goals to achieve significant energy savings and build a more sustainable future, the university wanted to unlock energy efficiency by implementing strategies that decreased energy demand and promoted the use of environmentally friendly energy sources.

    ENGIE’s energy efficiency solution focused on retrofitting the university buildings, which would significantly enhance energy utilization in areas such as air conditioning, ventilation, and other mechanical and electrical systems. In partnership with Saudi Arabia’s National Energy Services Company, Tarshid, ENGIE Solutions transformed the infrastructure of the university into high-performing assets by maximizing efficiency, minimizing costs and reducing environmental impact, while supporting knowledge transfer to local partners. We were able to deliver guaranteed energy efficiency solutions that significantly reduce energy consumption for our customer. Energy saving measures that were implemented led to the reduction in current energy consumption by 32% which is the equivalent of SAR 13.58M in annual cost savings.

    Sustainability is a crucial objective for Masdar City and in order to support this goal and they wanted to ensure energy management activities were carried out in a systemic manner.

    The ENGIE Solution: Total facilities management

    ENGIE Solutions took over the hard facilities management services for Masdar City. Since sustainability was a priority for the customer, several innovative forms of technology to reduce utility consumption were introduced.

    ENGIE Solutions was awarded the ISO 50001:2011 Energy Management System (EnMS) certification for the provision of facilities management services at Masdar City, which ensures energy management activities are carried out in a systematic manner to improve energy performance. Objectives and targets are regularly set and reviewed to drive year-on-year energy performance improvements for Masdar City. The EnMS includes the understanding of the premises’ efficiency and benchmarking, setting objectives and targets to improve energy performance with opportunities for efficiencies being identified and managed through the fully integrated Computer Aided Facility Management (CAFM) system. The scope includes:

    • Management of approximately 50K MEP & civil assets
    • Maintaining more than 3500 firefighting equipment 
    • Managing and coordinating with Masdar contractors & subcontractors, which includes the review of MSRAs & issuance of work permits across Masdar City
    • Taking over all newly completed projects from the construction contractors including necessary document verification 
    • Maintaining the LEAD O&M Certification 
    • Maintaining sustainable procurement during service deliveries

    Highlights

    • Timely implementation of ASHRAE energy audits 
    • Monthly review of indoor air quality for all Masdar buildings 
    • Increase in asset reliability by implementing IoT sensor solutions. 
    • Reduce landlord energy consumption vs baseline overall by 30% in buildings including Incubator, IRENA, Siemens and NCP
    • 2.9 million AED reduction in energy compared to baseline (775k in 2021)
    • 7 energy audits completed (ASHRAE Level 2 and 3)
    • ISO 50001 Recertification for expanding portfolio.
