“Once the experiment is successful, entire public facilities would be provided with solar energy receivers, taking into account the aesthetic and architectural aspect of buildings and the city,” he said.
“The experiment comes as part of the energy saving plan of Dubai Municipality in its buildings and facilities. Implementing the solar system, the municipality could save a large amount of electricity in its buildings and facilities. However, the challenge faced by the department now is in taking advantage of modern systems in accordance with the application of the existing facilities considering financial cost and required quality,” he added. The department also organizes workshops on the use of solar energy applications.
