Lusail City District Cooling has won the award for the highly energy efficient district at the 2017 Global District Energy Climate Awards ceremony, held at the International District Cooling and Heating Conference held yesterday in Doha.
The awards were announced yesterday and the finalists were selected from cities and communities across the globe which demonstrate local district energy leadership in providing clean and sustainable energy solutions.
Lusail City cooling system is on the way to becoming one of the largest in the world and it has four district cooling plants, built in multiple phases to provide the entire development with chilled water for its cooling needs.
Compared to the conventional cooling approaches, district cooling will save 35% to 45% energy, and with less power being consumed, fewer pollutants will be emitted.
It is part of a huge project that will supply chilled water to Lusail City through an integrated network with a connected cooling load exceeding 500,000 tonnes of refrigeration (TR) by using multiple chiller plants.
