Msheireb Properties, a subsidiary of Qatar Foundation, has bagged two awards at the 2017 Qatar Sustainability Awards.
Msheireb Properties’ flagship project, Msheireb Downtown Doha, was recognised for the exceptional standard of sustainability practices across Diwan Annex Building, which won for ‘Green Government Building,’ and Cultural Forum in the category of ‘Green Commercial Building.’
The two Msheireb Downtown Doha facilities were lauded for their use of non-potable water, considerable energy and water saving, rainwater recovery and on-site renewable energy generation. Some of the features include energy efficient building design with recessed windows, energy recovery of outside air entering the building, optimised ventilation using carbon dioxide detectors, and a high efficiency district cooling plant.
Abdulla Hassan al-Mehshadi, CEO, Msheireb Properties, said, that the awards reflect the unyielding commitment of the organisation to protecting the environment and preserving natural resources.
