Leading experts and professionals in the district cooling (DC) sector will discuss latest developments at the International District Energy Association (Idea) 2016 International District Cooling Conference, in Dubai, UAE.

The conference will be held from November 13 to 15 at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, said Empower, a leading UAE-based district cooling services provider.

Empower CEO Ahmad Bin Shafar pointed out that Dubai will be hosting the conference for the second time in two years. He was speaking at the conclusion of the 107th Idea Annual Conference and Trade Show, held recently in Saint Paul, Minnesota, US.

The conference will serve as a platform to exchange expertise and experiences, said Empower. The sessions of the three-day event will focus on developing the best district cooling technologies and solutions in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) and other developing countries via the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP).
