The National Central Cooling Company (Tabreed), headquartered in Abu Dhabi, oversees 92 district cooling plants spread across six countries, all managed remotely from its central hub in the UAE capital. This operation is powered by an advanced artificial intelligence platform that standardises performance and enhances operational efficiency across its network.
Tabreed is the first district cooling provider in the region to compile extensive operational data over more than 27 years. This long-term dataset has played a key role in developing its own AI technology, which automates processes, improves plant efficiency, and reduces environmental impact.
The AI system supports predictive maintenance, real-time monitoring, and dynamic control of each facility. These capabilities ensure reliable performance while achieving considerable energy savings and lowering carbon emissions.
The company’s smart facilities are located in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, India, and Egypt. A centralised AI-driven control framework ensures operational consistency and quality across all these geographically diverse regions.
By embedding AI into its core operations, Tabreed is redefining standards within the district cooling sector. This technological evolution reinforces its commitment to sustainability and positions the firm at the forefront of environmentally friendly cooling innovation.
