Another Spot in Qatar Gets Chilled: Mina District Launches Cooling System

Old Doha Port just rolled out a fancy new open-air cooling system at its Mina District Promenade. This cool move aims to keep visitors comfortable year-round. It also helps boost business for shops and restaurants. Plus, it improves daily life for residents.

Goals Set For Comfort And Footfall

The project focuses on three goals: attract more visitors throughout the year, make retail and dining spots more pleasant, and enhance life for residents. The system uses energy-efficient chillers and smart tech to save energy and protect the planet.

Discreet Tech Kept Things Cool

The system uses underground chilled water pipes and vents hidden in the area’s architecture. It keeps temperatures just right, even during the hottest months. Glass panels line the promenade’s edge to hold in cool air. This creates a cozy microclimate without blocking the beautiful sea views.
