Applus+ Velosi certifies the Qatar National Convention Center (QNCC)

16/12/2015

    The building is a model of innovative and efficient design.

    Our office in Qatar has successfully certified the cutting-edge Qatar National Convention Center (QNCC) against ISO 9001:2008. The certificate was received by AMLAK Hospitality’s COO, Mr. Saleh Gohar and by its General Manager, Mr. Ken Jamieson.
     
    QNCC and AMLAK Hospitality are both part of Qatar Foundation. AMLAK Hospitality is managing the operations and hospitality for QNCC, and as such it has been working closely with Applus+ Velosi in the process of obtaining this prestigious certification.
     
    The modern center was conceived with a focus on sustainability, built according to US Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) gold-certification standards. It’s located at Qatar Foundation’s campus, an area with more than 10 km2 which hosts faculties from world-renowned universities such as Weill Cornell, Texas A&M, and Georgetown, as well as home-grown centers such as Sidra Medical and Research Center, Qatar Science & Technology Park, and Al Jazeera Children’s TV Channel.
     
    The building is designed to operate efficiently with innovations such as water conservation and energy-efficient fixtures, and it is approximately 32% more efficient compared with a similarly designed building without such improvements. One of the highlighted features is the 3,500m2 display of solar panels providing 12.5% of the Center's energy needs. The exhibition halls have extremely energy-efficient LED lighting, and many other integrative design elements are being adapted to achieve the highest level of environmental and sustainable standards.
