Taka Solutions in drive to improve UAE buildings’ energy performance gains – MEP MiddleEast

More than 1,000 buildings have joined ESCO Taka Solutions' energy data platform, designed to help clients improve their energy efficiency, reduce wastage and save money.

The platform enables users to monitor and control their building safely from afar without the need for human interaction. It provides Cloud-based analytics displayed on dashboards with real-time reporting.

The news ties in with an announcement that Taka has signed an energy shared savings contract with Asteco Property Management for Swiss Tower, a 40 storey office building located in Dubai's Jumeirah Lakes Towers district.

The building, which covers a net gross area of over 43,500 square meters is expected to save 13.8% of its energy consumption as part of the arrangement.

This is equivalent to $520,000 over the five-year contract period.

Charles Blaschke, Director of Development & Innovation, at Taka Solutions, said: “2020 has been a dramatic year for many businesses. Yet for all the challenges it has led to an increased focus in reducing energy consumption in buildings driven, in part, by the economic pressures to be more cost-effective. We took the opportunity to use our own IP to migrate to a fully digitised operation. It has been transformative.
