Mohannad Khader, Vice President Commercial, and Nahar Al Mutawah, Vice President Operation and Services were there to accept the award on behalf of Qatar Cool.  Mohannad commented “Qatar Cool is committed to further developing the understanding of the District Cooling industry and being recognized by such a prestigious award adds further credibility to our commitment. Through delivering quality service combined with innovative ideas and initiatives we hope to not only improve District Cooling knowledge that will benefit industrial growth, but more importantly enhance the implementation of sustainable products, services and solutions for the environment as well as for end-users.”

 Mohannad continued “Qatar Cool expressed delight at this most recent accomplishment, to win another significant award from the Climate Control and to be recognized amongst our industry peers for the second time is a great tribute to the dedication of the Qatar Cool team. We recently signed a contract for the construction of fourth plant in Qatar, which is the third in the West Bay area and winning a prestigious industry award such as this only adds more momentum to our expansion plans.”
