'Desert conditions are predictably hot if you’re not used to it, but Qatar-inducted cooling technology kicks off as one of Qatar 2022’s major success stories.' — Suresh Nair

Desert conditions are predictably hot if you’re not used to it, but Qatar-inducted cooling technology kicks off as one of Qatar 2022’s major success stories. With innovation and sustainability, the revolutionary system was first showcased during the inauguration of Khalifa International Stadium as early as 2017 and since then has been adapted to benefit six more tournament venues, as well as other facilities across the country.

Jita, who is familiar with desert conditions as an international Coach Instructor, explained that spot cooling means “they only cool the areas where people need it – like on the pitch and in the stands…the form of each stadium acts as a barrier, which contains a cold bubble inside”. Another advantage of the technology is the fact it is unpatented – meaning businesses and countries can use it to develop similar systems. Southgate said: “This technology is a potential game-changer for countries with hot climates. That is why they made sure that anyone can use it.”

Jita said: “This Qatar technology has great potential for transforming outdoor spaces. They have implemented the same systems in farms and were able to develop energy-efficient methods to grow food during the hot summer months.”
