Msheireb Properties, a leading sustainable property development company and a subsidiary of Qatar Foundation for Education, Sciences and Society Development, will take part in the 2018 Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona from November 13 to 15.
Through its participation, Msheireb Properties aims to increase its global exposure and promote its flagship project Msheireb Downtown Doha (MDD) as the second smartest smart city district in the world.
As the official global sponsor of the event, Msheireb Properties is also seeking to enhance its international presence by highlighting its commitment to developing smart, sustainable cities of the future.
Msheireb Properties will introduce its flagship project to the world at the expo, utilising this prominent platform to present Qatar as a leading nation of sustainable, smart city development with a view to attracting new multinational companies and potential investors to the renovated downtown and business hub in the heart of Doha.
Ali Al Kuwari, Acting CEO of Msheireb Properties, said,"Msheireb Properties' participation in Barcelona's Smart City Expo World Congress is a major benchmark in showcasing Msheireb Downtown Doha to the world and occupying a leading position on the international map as one of the smartest city districts in the world. As we move closer to the eventual completion of the project and start activating large blocks of the city, we are promoting MDD as one of the first smart and sustainable city districts built in the world, meaning that residents, tenants and visitors have the opportunity to experience urban living through a consistent deployment of network infrastructure, connected urban systems, integrated city operations and digital services."
"We also view our presence in Barcelona as helping to raise the profile of Qatar globally as we reiterate the capabilities of our national companies to execute such huge projects. MDD is a clear indication of Qatar's abilities and talents, a nation that can deliver sophisticated projects and exceed expectations with the world's best," Kuwari added.
Centrally located within Barcelona's Smart City Expo, Msheireb Properties' booth includes three walls intended to highlight the different aspects of what makes MDD a smart city, smart home applications, MDD's smart city portal and the command and control centre which oversees the entire district.
The first wall allows visitors to explore, through MDD's smart home tablets, the smart home systems, a series of controls and touchscreens that provide apartments in MDD with full smart home automation: automated lighting control, shades control, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) control, energy monitoring, audio and video integration, and video intercom.
The second wall highlights MDD's 'Lifestyle and Community Portal' which analyses energy production and consumption at a district, superblock, building and unit level, raising awareness, enhancing energy efficiency, and the smart metering of utilities.
