Tornado Tower lights up for COP18

Siemens has announced that the Tornado Tower in Doha, Qatar, has been lit up in green using energy-efficient LED lights for the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP18) in an effort to establish a strong focus on green technology innovation.

The Tornado Tower, an example of a Siemens Total Building Solution, is located in the West Bay business district of Doha. Resembling a tornado in the desert, the impressive building is 200 m tall and offers 58,000 m² of office space on 52 floors.

The tower intelligently integrates all building technology disciplines to make the tower a landmark for maximum security, energy efficiency and flexibility while offering a high level of comfort. Additionally, an ongoing monitoring and reporting system makes it possible to reduce energy consumption, save resources and minimise CO₂ emissions.

The COP18 meeting is taking place in Doha until Friday. Our news item on the conference can be read here.
