MANILA, Philippines - Green building technologies are finally taking off in the Philippines, with architects, engineers, systems providers and other industry players taking the lead in promoting sustainable energy solutions. Among these solutions are green cooling systems which are not only environmentally friendly but also create long-term cost savings for building owners, developers and management. To share information on the revolutionary new solar and ice thermal air-conditioning systems and CO2 refrigeration systems, D.B. International Sales & Services Inc. (DBI) has invited international experts to speak at the HVAC/R Philippines trade show on November 13, 2009, 4 p.m. at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.
Jeff Albright, CEO of Dunham-Bush, along with Dunham-Bush joint venture partner representatives Dr. Christian Holter, executive director of SOLID GmbH, and Mr. Ole Christensen, vice-president of M&M Refrigeration will explain how companies create smaller carbon footprints, reduce operating expenses, and gain access to financing opportunities specific to sustainable energy projects through the use of these green solutions.
“We are very excited to have these experts come and discuss these exciting and innovative green solutions. Climate change is now affecting us directly, and we hope to show building and refrigeration facility owners that implementing green cooling solutions not only greatly reduces their environmental impact but also makes great business sense,” said William Guido, DBI chairman.
Albright will re-introduce the Ice-Cel Thermal Energy System, which meets the US Green Building Council’s LEED rating system for the most energy efficient technologies. The secret behind the Ice-Cel system’s energy-saving feature is the charging and storage of ice in an insulated tank during off-peak evening hours, which dramatically reduces electricity cost. This stored ice is then used to provide air conditioning for the building during daytime operations, minimizing emissions of greenhouse gases.
DBI is the Exclusive Philippine Distributor of the energy-efficient air-conditioning and refrigeration solutions provided by Dunham-Bush, a pioneer in the green cooling technologies with a history of innovation spanning over 100 years.
