Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (Kahramaa) announced that Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) has approved district cooling system, with a high level of reliability and a long life span of the district cooling plant as well as with cost-savings and cost-effectiveness.
Kahramaa added that HMC has replaced traditional cooling devices with a more sustainable and efficient district cooling system, a suitable and superior alternative to its predecessor due to positive results achieved in line with health facilities' need for the continuous use of cooling, which requires the provision of adequate and continuous cooling services all the time.
It noted that a number of its staff visited the west energy center, which provides Hamad General Hospital, Surgical Speciality Center, the new Trauma and Emergency Center building, administrative buildings and service facilities of the HMC with a current cooling capacity of 12,500 tonnes and a future of 20,000 tonnes of cooling.
The visit aimed at ensuring the readiness of the operating system's commitment to implement the instructions pertaining to the district cooling code and key performance indicators of the district cooling.
