Dilip Rahulan , Executive Chairman of Pacific Controls, said, “Mankind is facing unprecedented challenge of Climate Change. Pacific Controls’ Enterprise City Management Platform, coupled with Etisalat’s extensive mobile network coverage, has already manifested that ICT can save the climate at the speed of light. Facilities are reducing their energy costs and carbon footprint by up to 30% through the Energy Star programme that requires only a few days to implement. With real time profiling of energy consumptions, participating organizations are now able to report on their carbon footprint online.”

The agreement aims to reduce the carbon footprint of companies across the Middle East, Asia and Africa, and was launched in the UAE in December 2011 as the “Emirates Energy Star”.  Since its launch, the programme has eliminated more than 5,000 tons of CO2 emissions in the UAE, achieved purely through active 24X7 Monitoring and Control of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment across 50 participating facilities, constituting an overall built-up space in excess of 9 million sq. ft.
