36mn KWH of energy saved from electricity and chilled water consumption
Leading estate management company Provis recently announced that it has achieved substantial energy and cost savings worth over AED 6.5mn (US$ 1.78mn) across 12 managed communities in 2020.
In a press communiqué the company said that the significant achievement was realized after implementing several sustainability initiatives that led to the reduction of more than 16,000 tons of carbon emissions and conserving 36mn kWh of total energy from electricity and chilled water consumption, enough to power 5,000 rural homes for a whole year.
“This achievement is a testament to our team’s in-depth expertise and reflects our commitment to work smartly and efficiently to benefit our clients, the environment and the wider community,” commented HP Aengaar, CEO, Provis.
Sustainable projects implemented include water and electricity optimization initiatives, data analytics of assets and cooling optimization, installation of energy efficient LED lights and use of water conservation techniques employing weather-based irrigation systems and the use of Treated Sewage Effluent for irrigation purposes that led to water savings worth AED 1.3mn (US$ 354,000).
Earlier this year, Provis’ commitment to sustainability saw its headquarters in Abu Dhabi being awarded with the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum Certification by the US Green Building Council (USGBC).
