Energy-efficient products and innovations on show at WETEX 2015
Dubai Investments PJSC, a leading investment company listed on the Dubai Financial Market, is showcasing a wideranging portfolio of innovative and energy-efficient products and solutions at the water, energy, technology and environment exhibition (WETEX) 2015, currently under way at Dubai World Trade Center.
In line with its commitment to sustainable business practices, Dubai Investments — one of the Gold Sponsors of WETEX — is highlighting the eco- friendly solutions of its subsidiaries, including Emirates Insolaire, Emirates Glass, Dubai Cranes, LiteTech Industries and Emicool, and providing an overview on how the innovations could help in reducing the ecological footprint.
Khalid Bin Kalban, managing director and CEO of Dubai Investments, said: “Dubai Investments is committed to the cause of sustainable development since its inception 20 years ago. The company is proud to bring these energy- efficient technologies to the forefront at WETEX, which offers a great platform to showcase its expertise to potential partners from across the globe.”
The showcase includes the first-of-itskind colored solar panels by Emirates Insolaire, which not only cuts down on greenhouse gas emissions but considerably reduces the utility bills.
Each colored solar panel, manufactured with KromatixTM technology, can generate above 150 watts electric power per square meter on roofs, or above 110 watts per square meter on façades.
The solar panels are in line with the Dubai government’s ongoing initiative to install solar panels in buildings in the Emirate as part of its steps to harness sunlight for conversion into electricity.
Rafic Hanbali, managing partner of Emirates Insolaire, will also make a presentation on the advantages of integrating KromatixTM technology in buildings on April 23, 2015 at 10am.
Another DI subsidiary, Emirates Glass is displaying energy-efficient products including its Solite Series and posttemperable E-Lite Series besides solar control coating solutions, while Emicool is highlighting its eco-friendly district cooling services at the exhibition.
Also on display are low power run, electricity saving cranes from Dubai Cranes; whereas Lite-Tech Industries is showcasing its entire range of luminaires using LED technology and other solutions.
The state-of-the-art LED luminaires lead to up to 85% energy savings, compared to traditional light solutions.
Dubai Investments, which contributes to sustainability through green initiatives in its products and technology, has been part of WETEX for the last three years.
