We have superstars that come to work everyday and are the unsung heroes and the people behind the power that a lot of the campus doesn’t know exists, but are diligently working, and at all hours of the day and night to make sure that energy is getting delivered so that we can carry out our core mission at the university. I wanted those people to be honored by being recognized with this honor from IDEA.</span><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: 8.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: 8.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">There’s a lot of technology behind what we do, but what is technology if you don’t have the right people?

When were down in Orlando [for IDEA2024] participating in the award ceremony, I was amazed at the number of people in the room. To walk up on stage and be recognized like that was a very proud moment. The work that takes place on campus just amazes me. It makes me very proud to be part of a team that has these capabilities and to have the folks that take the personal ownership to put together such a safe and reliable system.</span><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: 8.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: 8.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Mike Larson</b>: We really did this for the employees, and I think we underestimated the impact that it would have on them. I’ve been in this role for almost 25 years now, and the reality is people just show up every day, and we all show up, we all do our job. When it’s snowing or hailing out and other people get to stay home because the campus is closed, we don’t have that luxury, and we’re very blessed that people enjoy the job and they value it such that they do. </span><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: 8.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: 8.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The university runs because these people are at work every day, just doing their job. It kind of gets taken for granted. We don’t need people patting us on the back, but everybody needs to know their value. As the SOYA award was announced and people started hearing about it, there was so much pride from the employees. </span><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: 8.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: 8.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">So, the value of having an award like this, it’s a big deal, and I think it’s probably a way bigger deal than people realize.

In 1980, the university and the state made a commitment to installing the best available technology that would allow us to burn coal, which largely consisted of a wet scrubber. I won’t go into too many details on this technology, but one of its benefits was that it helped with acid rain issues. We also retrofitted our boilers and put in systems to take care of particulate. At the time, it was the second system of its type to be installed in the country.</span><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: 8.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: 8.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">In 2000, the energy market in our area deregulated, so we needed capacity and we needed to position ourselves to be able to operate in that deregulated market, so we launched a combustion turbine with a heat recovery steam generator, as well as three more steam turbines. Doing this increased our electric generation almost threefold.

The award is a well-deserved recognition of Empower’s status as the world’s largest district cooling services provider and the astounding capacity of its Business Bay District Cooling system in Dubai.<br><br></i></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><i></i></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><i>The system currently has a capacity of 241.272 refrigeration tons (RT), but will scale up to have an ultimate capacity of 451,540 RT. To break that capacity down a bit further – the system provides all those refrigeration tons through nine district cooling plants – four of which are currently operational, and it serves 188 multi-use buildings and skyscrapers through a pipeline network of 32.5 miles (52.4 kilometers). Additionally, the project utilizes advanced thermal energy storage (TES) and treated sewage effluent (TSE) to maximize efficiency and sustainability.<br><br></i><i></i></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><i>IDEA recently sat down with Samer Khoudeir, Nizar Ibrahim and Noura Jamal of Empower to discuss the award. The following interview has been edited for clarity and length.<br><br></i></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>IDEA</b>: Congratulations on your Guinness Book of World Records award? Can you tell us the process behind applying for and receiving the award?</span><br><br></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Empower</b>: As we were working on developing the Business Bay project, we realized that, to the best of our knowledge, it might be the highest capacity district cooling project in the world. So, we applied to the Guinness World Record team. They told us they didn’t have any records yet for district cooling projects, so they made a new record and title for us. They did have some criteria we had to meet in terms of megawatts and that it had to be one single project and one single site, but fortunately, we were able to meet all of their criteria. They then validated and verified our claim and awarded the record.</span><br><br></p> <p class="MsoNormal"></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">It's really amazing to be the first in district cooling history to win a Guiness Book of World Records award.</span><br><br></p> <p class="MsoNormal"></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b><img src="https://higherlogicdownload.s3.amazonaws.com/DISTRICTENERGY/998638d1-8c22-4b53-960c-286248642360/UploadedImages/guiness-world-record.jpg" class="img-responsive" alt="" data-mce-hlimagekey="df63def2-20fa-4c75-2a88-3f711b117055" data-mce-hlselector="#TinyMceContent_f41adc56-bc40-5c49-adb4-2b77da1debb7-tinyMceHtml"></b></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b></b></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>IDEA</b>: We also saw the project is equipped with advanced TES and uses TSE, can you tell us about these technologies and how they used in the Business Bay project, as well as their benefits for customers and sustainability efforts?</span><br><br></p> <p class="MsoNormal"></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Empower</b>: For TES, we produce chilled water during off-peak hours and store it for use during peak hours to help ease the load on the power grid. We have four district cooling plants in the Business Bay project, and all four plants are interconnected to a single network, and three are equipped with TES tanks. We also use TSE, but that is not for chilled water, it is for the cooling towers.</span><br><br></p> <p class="MsoNormal"></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>IDEA</b>: Since Empower was founded as a company only two decades ago, how did you achieve this world record in such a short amount of time?</span><br><br></p> <p class="MsoNormal"></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Empower</b>: That’s correct. We started with a single district cooling plant that served Dubai’s financial district in 2004. At present, we have 87 distributing plants across Dubai that provide approximately 1.53 million RT to nearly 1,600 buildings. Business Bay is the business hub of Dubai and it’s a very large district with more than 300 buildings. Right now, we serve 188 of those 300 buildings.</span><br><br></p> <p class="MsoNormal"></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>IDEA</b>: Can you tell us about the environmental impact of the project and how it’s advancing decarbonization goals?</span><br><br></p> <p class="MsoNormal"></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Empower</b>: District cooling itself is able to reduce power electricity usage by up to 50%. So, in itself and on its own, district cooling is a sustainable solution and is one of the big reasons the government in Dubai is encouraging and promoting district cooling. The government also has its own KPIs for district cooling. For instance, the Dubai government is targeting 40% penetration of district cooling by 2030. The current ratio is 24%, and the government is expected to meet their 2030 goal.</span><br><br></p> <p class="MsoNormal"></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>IDEA</b>: Did you face any difficulties or have to overcome any challenges while developing the Business Bay project?</span><br><br></p> <p class="MsoNormal"></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Empower</b>: The interconnection of the buildings in Business Bay did have difficulties because we had to cross the Dubai Canal, which is 20 feet (6 meters) deep and connect the buildings through micro-tunneling through the Dubai channel. However, the Dubai government is excellent at creating master plans, and they had provided the options for the tunneling, pipeline, network and everything else we needed for the project.</span><br><br></p> <p class="MsoNormal"></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>IDEA</b>: So, you have a Guinness World Record and incredible systems in place across Dubai. What’s next for Empower?</span><br><br></p> <p class="MsoNormal"></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Empower</b>: We also have a range of plans, but since we currently only serve Dubai, geographical expansion is one of future goals, but that depends on government policy since Empower was established by the government of Dubai. The need is certainly there for more district cooling – in the Middle East, 70% of the energy used by buildings is used for cooling. That is a fact, and the reality in this part of the world. So, there is a need for sustainable cooling solutions in this region. Perhaps, we will also try for another Guinness World Record in the future.</span><br><br></p> <p class="MsoNormal"></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">We want to continue to promote district cooling worldwide. Our CEO, Ahmad bin Shafar, is a special advisor on district cooling to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). Additionally, our team collaborated with ASHRAE for the district cooling guide in 2013, and an updated version in 2019. That guide is like the Bible for all district cooling engineers and other professionals in our industry. We’re now in the process of making it the standard for the district cooling industry worldwide. Empower, similarly to our industry as a whole, is also looking to continue to innovate, and we’re excited to help enable the future of district cooling.</span><br><br></p> <p class="MsoNormal"></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>IDEA</b>: Thank you for taking the time to speak with us, and congratulations again on your award!</span><br><br></p> <p class="MsoNormal"></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Empower</b>: Thank you.</span></p> </div></div><div class="HtmlFooter"></div></div></div></div><div class="row row-wide clearfix "><div class="col-md-6 section9"></div><div class="col-md-6 section10"></div></div><div class="row row-wide clearfix "><div class="col-md-12 section11"><div class="ContentUserControl"> <div id="MainCopy_ctl17_pnlMain"> <div id="MainCopy_ctl17_ResultPanel" class="SearchResults HLLandingControl"> <div class="row heading"> <div class="col-md-12 no-pad"> <h2 id="MainCopy_ctl17_TitleText"> Previous Posts </h2> </div> </div> <div id="MainCopy_ctl17_ctl00"> <div class="Content"> <ul> <li> <div class="row title-row"> <div id="MainCopy_ctl17_lvSearchResults_pnlColRight_0" class="col-md-12 no-pad"> <div id="MainCopy_ctl17_lvSearchResults_pnlTitleRow_0" class="row title-row"> <div id="MainCopy_ctl17_lvSearchResults_pnlTitle_0" class="col-sm-9 col-md-9 no-pad"> <h3> <a id="MainCopy_ctl17_lvSearchResults_hypTitle_0" title="From Student to Professional: Jacky Kinson’s Journey to Geothermal Renewable Energy" class="LinkDocumentTitle" href="https://www.districtenergy.org/blogs/district-energy/2024/08/06/jacky">From Student to Professional: Jacky Kinson’s Journey to Geothermal Renewable Energy</a> </h3> <div id="MainCopy_ctl17_lvSearchResults_pnlPostedByCreateDate_0" class="ByLine"> 08-06-2024 15:01 </div> </div> <div id="MainCopy_ctl17_lvSearchResults_pnlObjectType_0" class="col-sm-3 col-md-3 pull-right"> <span id="MainCopy_ctl17_lvSearchResults_lblObjectType_0" class="label label-default pull-right">Blog Entry</span> </div> </div> <div id="MainCopy_ctl17_lvSearchResults_pnlDescription_0" class="row"> <div class="col-md-12 no-pad break-word"> <p id="MainCopy_ctl17_lvSearchResults_pDescription_0"> From Student to Professional: Jacky Kinson’s Journey to Geothermal Renewable Energy Addressing climate change and sustainability issues has become one of the central factors for young people’s career choices.
