Qatar Cool and QIMC sign agreement

Qatar District Cooling Company, also known as Qatar Cool has signed a district cooling service agreement with Qatar Industrial Manufacturing Company (QIMC).
The signed agreement includes the provision of district cooling services with a capacity of 3,650 Tons of Refrigeration (TR), along with regular maintenance to onsite equipment, water pumps and other related services to cover 120,000 square meters of tower space. 
Abdul Rahman Bin Abdullah Al Ansari, Chief Executive Officer of QIMC comments on the occasion: “we made an informed decision to opt for district cooling for our new tower in West Bay based on the various benefits it offers over conventional cooling methods. District cooling not only helps us reduce construction and maintenance costs, but also serves the environment by reducing the energy required to cool our tower by 40-45percent thus reducing CO2 emissions to the atmosphere – that, in turn, supports the environmental pillar of the Qatar National Vision 2030.”
Furthermore, Yasser Salah Al-Jaidah, Chief Executive Officer at Qatar Cool expressed his appreciation to partner with QIMC, he commented: “District cooling offers tower owners and developers a variety of benefits in the long run; reduced construction and maintenance costs and more leasable space are principal among them. We pride ourselves on our ability to offer such economical and environmentally-friendly cooling service to our partners in Qatar.” 
“I would like to share some statistics to illustrate the environmental benefit of our district cooling operations: the cooling energy used over the past six years has saved over 1 billion Kilo Watts of electricity which translates to reducing over 600 million kilograms of CO2 from the atmosphere, this is equivalent to the environmental effect of removing 120 thousand cars off the roads.” Al Jaidah added.
