High Energy Consumption in a Large-Scale Retail Environment
As one of the largest shopping destinations in the world, The Dubai Mall faces immense energy demands, particularly in its HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems. With millions of visitors each year, maintaining optimal indoor conditions is essential, yet the existing system was operating inefficiently, leading to:
Excessive energy consumption due to unoptimized HVAC operations.
BMS inefficiencies preventing effective energy management and automation.
Suboptimal chilled water management, increasing cooling costs.
Lack of precise data to identify and rectify inefficiencies proactively.
With sustainability targets and operational cost reduction as key objectives, The Dubai Mall sought an advanced energy efficiency strategy to optimize its cooling and HVAC operations.
Strategic Energy Optimization
To tackle these inefficiencies, Optymass conducted a comprehensive energy audit and implemented targeted solutions to enhance efficiency and cut energy waste.
Energy Audit & HVAC Strategy
Identified inefficiencies in HVAC operations and developed a new strategy for airflow, temperature control, and scheduling.
Building Management System (BMS) Enhancements
Optimized control logic and automation settings to improve responsiveness and energy efficiency.
Chilled Water Management Improvements
Refined water distribution to enhance cooling efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
With data-driven insights and targeted adjustments, Quimera significantly improved The Dubai Mall’s energy management, driving both cost and environmental savings.
Major Cost & Carbon Savings
Following the implementation of Quimera’s energy efficiency solutions, The Dubai Mall achieved remarkable financial and environmental results:
Cost Savings: $2,422,000 in annual energy expense reductions.
Energy Efficiency Gains: 11.9% reduction in overall energy consumption.
CO₂ Reduction: 8,611 tonnes of emissions eliminated—equivalent to removing over 1,900 cars from the road each year.
Beyond financial benefits, the improvements led to a more stable indoor environment, ensuring enhanced comfort for visitors while contributing to the mall’s broader sustainability initiatives.
