Key Takeaways
AIThe National Energy Services Company (Tarsheed), in collaboration with the Saudi Broadcasting Authority, has completed an energy efficiency upgrade for 22 buildings and facilities belonging to the authority in Riyadh. The project is part of ongoing efforts to promote sustainability and adopt operational solutions that reduce energy consumption.
Walid bin Abdullah Al-Ghreiri, board member and CEO of Tarsheed, said the company conducted field surveys and technical studies of the buildings and facilities, identifying the need to enhance efficiency by implementing 18 key measures. These included replacing traditional lighting with high-efficiency LED technology, installing motion sensors, and upgrading air conditioning, cooling, and water pump systems with advanced solutions.
Project details and environmental impact
Al-Ghreiri added that the project involved installing a central management system to control chiller operations and improve overall efficiency. The Broadcasting Authority played an active role in the project's success by providing technical coordination, facilitating surveys, and preparing sites, ensuring that media operations continued uninterrupted.
According to estimates, the authority's annual electricity consumption is expected to drop from 30 million kilowatt-hours to about 19 million kilowatt-hours, achieving a reduction of approximately 37%. The targeted savings are equivalent to conserving more than 17,000 barrels of oil annually and planting over 100,000 seedlings each year.
The project is part of the authority's commitment to supporting sustainability initiatives and improving operational efficiency, in line with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
