1 Toward Sustainable Energy for the State of Kuwait: Challenges and Opportunities ENERGY EFFICIENCY: A KEY DRIVER FOR CLEAN ENERGY TRANSITION EFFICIENT COOLING TECHNOLOGIES WORKSHOP & TRAINING Kuwait Society for Engineers Kuwait October 2nd, 2017 Dr. Ahmad Al-Mulla Director of Science and Technology Energy and Building Research Center Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research

2 National Challenge Presentation Outline KISR Achievements in Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Structure of Energy and Building Research Center, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Programs Concluded Remarks

3 Energy Scenario in the State of Kuwait Primary Energy Use by Sector Electricity Use by Sector

4 Per Capita Consumption Rank of Kuwait The value of Per Capita Consumption (kwh/person) in Kuwait increased from 3,600 up to 18,000 now

5 National Challenge: Expected Daily Fuel Consumption from Power Plants up to 2040

6 KISR Achievements in Energy Efficiency Energy Code of Practice The code was enforced in 1983 by MEW and developed by KISR. The code was updated twice in 2010 (by KISR) and 2014 (by MEW through a group of local experts).

7 1983 Energy Code of Practice

8 Savings From 1983 Energy Code of Practice Component Unit Quantity Saved Unit Cost (USD/unit) Total Savings (million USD) Electrical Power Requirements MW 2,530 1,650,000 4,175 A/C System RT 1,260, ,070 Fuel million Barrels ,240 Total 10,485

9 MEW/R Building Energy Code of Practice

10 KISR Achievements in Energy Auditing in Buildings Building Year Peak Power Reduction (%) Energy Saving (%) Kuwait Port Authority KISR Main Building MEW and MPW buildings in South Surra Public Authority for Civil Information Al-Fanar Shopping Mall
