On Friday, fans attending the Emir Cup final at Khalifa International Stadium, the first completed venue for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, will enter an open-air stadium cooled to optimal conditions.
Innovative cooling technology, which employs up to 40 percent less energy than conventional systems, has been installed at the stadium, making it the coolest open-air venue in the world.
A new roof covers the seated areas and air-cooling is in place for the field of play and all spectator areas."We have designed the cooling technology at Khalifa International Stadium to be energy efficient, and fully compliant to the SC standards in terms of field of play and spectator seating area temperatures will reach 26 degrees centigrade," said Dr Saud Abdul-Aziz Abdul-Ghani, Professor at the College of Engineering at Qatar University.
