Thermal insulators ‘must for getting building licences’ - DOHA

DOHA: Thermal insulators for walls and electronic timers to control lighting have been made mandatory for all new buildings in the country to make them more energy-efficient.

Buildings that fail to fulfil these requirements in their designs will not be issued a licence, the Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (Kahramaa) said yesterday.

The new requirements come as part of efforts to rationalise consumption of water and electricity in the country.
