Sabreen

Sabreen is a AED195M 2B+G+8 mid-sized multi-story mixed-use residential/commercial development located in Dubai with retail spaces on the ground floor and residential blocks on higher floors. The total built-up area is 18,000 m2. Our scope was to perform peer review of MEP design and evaluate cooling load in a bid to reduce the electrical demand load. By optimizing the cooling load calculations and proposing the use of air-cooled chiller technology over the originally designed DX systems, we demonstrated both time and monetary savings in addition to realizing the original target of electrical demand reduction. The savings mounted to about 60% in cooling load demand, 28% reduction in electrical load, and 18% reduction in MEP construction cost.
