Recently, we inaugurated the YORK Manufacturing Complex \u2013 YORK\u2019s\nlargest facility in the region \u2013 and the OpenBlue Innovation Center which\nshowcases the tools and technologies operators can use to enable their\nbuildings to become smarter and more cost-effective to operate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of the conference, JCIA launched two of its latest and\nmost efficient \u201cSaudi Made\u201d products. The first is the side discharge\nVariable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) System, which is a single outdoor unit that can\nbe connected to several and different types of indoor units. The system\nconsiders the aesthetic aspect of buildings with the ability to control each\nroom separately as needed, this is in addition to being energy efficient. The\nsecond product is the (YVAA) Screw Chiller, which considered one of the largest\nand most efficient chillers that have been made in the company\u2019s factory\nrecently, is a patented, liquid-cooled, variable-speed drive that produces\n15-25% annual energy savings as proven globally in some of the world’s most\nchallenging conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u2018Innovation for a Sustainable Tomorrow\u2019 conference\nhighlighted the importance of energy sustainability as it relates to buildings\nand environmental protection. It is a fact that the world has been witnessing a\nfundamental shift for balancing growing energy demands with that of environment\nprotection. With energy sustainability at the heart of Vision 2030, it is no\nwonder that the Kingdom has committed itself to reach Net Zero emissions by\n2060, placing it at the forefront of the fight against climate change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
