In Dubai, air conditioning represents 70% of electricity consumption. This led the city to develop the world’s largest district cooling network, which by 2030 will expand to meet 40% of the city’s cooling demand. District cooling is halving Dubai’s electricity use for cooling and also reducing its consumption of fresh water through use of treated sewage effluent.
