Arcadia Suite was among the key solutions presented as the MENA Cool Forum, held from September 11 to 12, 2023, in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Alongside senior representatives from the Gulf Organisation for Research & Development (GORD) who presented on Arcadia, the forum was joined by regional and international experts who shared insights on cutting-edge developments, policies, project evaluations, innovations and technologies in the cooling sector in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

Speaking about Arcadia’s role in decarbonizing MENA’s cooling industry, Dr. Yousef Alhorr, GORD’s Founding Chairman, said, “Arcadia Suite is uniquely tailored to address the specific needs of the MENA region, offering a powerful tool for organizations to effectively reduce their carbon emissions. We are proud to share that Arcadia Suite has been successfully implemented across a diverse range of projects, from shopping malls and high-rise buildings to stadiums, hospitals and neighborhood developments. It has made a significant impact by optimizing refrigeration capacity, totaling hundreds of thousands of tons. By participating in the MENA Cool Forum, we hope to widen the impact of Arcadia to more projects across the MENA region. ”

The MENA Cool Forum brought together key stakeholders in district and conventional cooling (HVAC), fostering discussions on vital areas such as modernization, digital transformation, upcoming projects, regulations, the energy-water nexus, and the latest advancements in joint ventures and partnerships. It aimed to facilitate meaningful conversations and harmonization efforts to drive progress in the region’s cooling industry.
