Advice for Countries with Scarcity of Water Once decided to use TSE for DC ,What are the requirements to Succeed . 1) TSE Polishing Plant 2) TSE Network Availability 3) A Place/Network for cooling plant discharge disposal
District Cooling Challenges in Qatar
DC End user Complaints Selected End User Complaints in Qatar “People have moved out from DC building “Utility bills for district cooling because of the high cost of cooling” are very high” “Even when we have everything shut off it still "cools" and we end up paying for it” “Resident … have seen price hikes of in their monthly bills” “Even when we are not there it still costs us 800QAR a month” “The surface of our open air large terrace is included in the “Residence in low occupancy buildings contractual cooling area” suffer most as fixed costs of running the plant is spread across fewer bill payers” Source: Press Material, Interviews
