Cofely Besix Facility Management has secured a contract to provide services to Masdar City, Abu Dhabi.
The initial contract is for a 3-year period, and includes full hard, soft and civil facility management services including operations and maintenance of electrical systems, HVAC and ventilation systems, potable water, fire detection systems, life-safety critical systems, elevators, BMS, low voltage systems and civil infrastructure work.
Cooling of the buildings is provided via an energy efficient district cooling plant located within the confines of the site to assist natural cooling elements of the building design.
Energy Management plays a key role in the scope of work, and we will be introducing several innovative forms of technology and ideas to continually improve our efficiency and service delivery, said Ian Harfield, CEO of Cofely Besix Facility Management.
It is very important for us to be part of the evolution of the Masdar project, especially now as it starts to mature as a concept.
