The Municipality of Abu Dhabi City is taking part in the World Future Energy Summit to be held in the capital Abu Dhabi from 16 to 19 January in the context of its vision of ensuring a superior quality of life and a sustainable environment to the residents of Abu Dhabi.
Now entering its fifth year, the World Future Energy Summit is considered the world's premier annual forum concerned with fostering the development of renewable energy, energy consumption efficiency, and waste & water management techniques.
The Summit is expected to be attended by more than 26,000 persons hailing from 140 countries, including 3,000 delegates, 650 exhibitors and 20 national pavilions.
The Town Planning Sector at the Municipality of Abu Dhabi City will exhibit a model of the Energy Demand Management Project applied in the existing buildings of East 3 Sector in Abu Dhabi city during the round-table session, which will be held on 18 January.
During the Summit, the Municipal Infrastructure and Assets Sector will showcase 5 vital projects in the field of infrastructure sustainability namely: Recycling asphalt using cold asphalt recycling technique, where roads maintenance works are being carried out using reclaimed materials, compared to the customary maintenance process where road's different layers are removed and rebuilt using new materials.
A pilot project has been implemented in Street 16 at Shahama, where the Municipality of Abu Dhabi City conducted a comprehensive study spanning all phases of the project which concluded that using cold asphalt technology in roads rehabilitation process has proven to be both technically and financially feasible.
The Sector will also showcase the Central Control System of Irrigation Networks & Stations, and Storm-Water Drainage in Abu Dhabi city, known as SCADA; which was introduced by the Municipality of Abu Dhabi City with the aim of rationing the distribution of irrigation water in a precise way, facilitating maintenance processes, and ensuring prompt response to emergency incidents. SCADA is one of the world's most widely used systems featuring performance efficiency, and a design tailored to address all changes & developments such as the progress and construction boom witnessed by the emirate of Abu Dhabi.
Projects to be showcased in the event also include Using Plastic Networks in Fixing and Strengthening Roads' Asphalt Pavement Layers aimed at applying the principles of sustainability to roads and infrastructure projects in Abu Dhabi; which is part & parcel of the Municipality's strategic objectives.
Compliance with sustainability requirements means examining a host of parameters which include the project's functions, performance efficiency, technological advancement, and life-cycle cost. It also encompasses addressing public health & safety issues, rationalizing the use of energy & raw materials, and minimizing the adverse environmental impacts.
The Municipal Infrastructure and Assets Sector will also exhibit the General Street Lighting Strategy adopted in Abu Dhabi, which aims at developing a sustainable and long-term lighting policy in order to cut down the economic and environmental costs of excess lighting by modifying the standards of luminous intensity of roads, as well as introducing new energy-efficient lighting techniques with minimal maintenance requirements.
