Tarsheed boosts energy efficiency at Riyadh broadcasting buildings by 37%

Tarsheed and the Broadcasting Authority have successfully implemented an energy efficiency upgrade for 22 buildings and facilities in Riyadh. This initiative, led by Tarsheed, aims to achieve a 37% reduction in energy consumption. The project aligns with Saudi Vision 2030's focus on sustainability and operational efficiency.

Walid bin Abdullah Al-Ghreiri, CEO of Tarsheed, explained that the company performed field surveys and technical assessments of the buildings and facilities to pinpoint areas for improvement. To boost efficiency, they implemented 18 key measures, such as replacing conventional lighting with high-efficiency LED technology, installing motion sensors, and upgrading air conditioning, cooling, and water pump systems with advanced solutions.

A central management system was installed to oversee chiller operations, further enhancing efficiency. The Broadcasting Authority's active involvement, including technical coordination, facilitating surveys, and preparing sites, ensured that media operations continued without disruption.

By adopting these measures, the authority's annual electricity consumption is projected to decrease from 30 million kilowatt-hours to approximately 19 million kilowatt-hours. This translates to a 37% reduction in consumption, equivalent to conserving over 17,000 barrels of oil annually and planting more than 100,000 seedlings each year.

The project exemplifies Tarsheed's commitment to sustainability and the Broadcasting Authority's dedication to supporting operational efficiency initiatives.
