Masdar and First Abu Dhabi Bank complete energy and water-saving project for Future Rehabilitation Centre
Masdar and First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) have completed the energy and water-saving retrofit project for an Abu Dhabi-based school for people of determination.
The Future Rehabilitation Centre in Mohammed bin Zayed City is benefitting from energy reductions of over a third and water savings of nearly 30 percent as a direct result of the retrofit.
Funds from a special co-branded, biodegradable credit card were used to finance the retrofit, which followed an extensive audit of the Future Rehabilitation Centre by Masdar’s Energy Services team and contractor Smart4Power.
The extensive energy conservation project included the installation of an on-grid rooftop solar photovoltaic system providing 30 kilowatt-peak (kWp) capacity, advanced ventilation, and air-conditioning control system, various water-saving devices, special soil additives, LED lights, and thermal coatings on the school’s roof to reduce heat gain. A monitoring system has also been installed to verify the achieved savings.
The Centre is dedicated to the empowerment of special needs children through specialized therapy and education.
