December XX, 2021, Dubai--An official delegation from Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI), the global leader for smart, healthy and sustainable buildings, recently paid a visit to the Abu Dhabi headquarters of the National Central Cooling Company (Tabreed), a leading international district cooling developer providing energy efficient, cost effective and environmentally friendly year-round cooling solutions in the GCC, India, and beyond.

During the visit, JCI officials expressed their appreciation for the enduring partnership between the two organizations. Both parties agreed to collaborate on a training aimed at helping develop the skills and talents of fresh graduates from the region as well as take part in a special technical workshop in January next year, which will concentrate on key topics like next generation refrigerants, magnetic bearing chillers and absorption technology.
