Tarshid Launches Energy-Saving Project at King Abdulaziz Specialist Hospital in Al-Jouf
Riyadh, February 17, 2025 – The National Energy Services Company (Tarshid) has partnered with King Abdulaziz Specialist Hospital in Al-Jouf to launch a major energy efficiency project. This initiative aims to reduce energy consumption by 22% through advanced retrofitting measures across 10 hospital buildings.
Smart Energy Solutions for Greater Efficiency
Tarshid’s Board Member and CEO, Waled Al-Ghreri, stated that the company conducted on-site surveys and technical studies to identify key improvements. The project will focus on 13 essential upgrades, including:
- Advanced air conditioning systems with optimized chiller controls
- Automated scheduling for air handling units
- Variable frequency drives (VFDs) to enhance system performance
- Energy-efficient LED lighting replacing traditional lights
- Smart occupancy sensors and motion detectors
Additionally, outdated air conditioning chillers will be replaced with modern, energy-efficient models. A new building management system (BMS) will also be installed and integrated with upgraded cooling and air conditioning systems to optimize energy use.
Significant Energy and Environmental Benefits
The hospital currently consumes 12.8 million kilowatt-hours annually. After the retrofitting, this is expected to drop to 9.8 million kilowatt-hours, achieving a 22% energy savings.
This project will result in:
✅ Saving over 4,000 barrels of oil equivalent annually
✅ Reducing carbon emissions by 1,400 metric tons per year
✅ An environmental impact equal to planting 23,000 trees annually
A Step Towards Sustainability
This initiative aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals to enhance energy efficiency and promote sustainable development. By upgrading hospital infrastructure, Tarshid is helping to create greener, cost-effective energy solutions for the healthcare sector.
This project highlights Saudi Arabia’s commitment to energy conservation and improving public facility operations for a more sustainable future.
