Doha Festival City (DFC) celebrates World Water Day and Earth Hour, with a number of environmental activities to promote a culture of conservation, under Festival Cares.

On Saturday, March 27^, DFC will pay tribute to Earth Hour by decreasing its electricity consumption between 8:30 pm and 9.30 pm.

The Mall will dim both chandelier lights in its luxury area, and alternate switching lights on and off in the Center Court, to cut consumption by 50%.

The Mall will also promote electricity preservation amongst visitors by spreading awareness and sustainability messages all around the mall on its digital screens.

Celebrating World Water Day on March 22, DFC reaffirms its commitment to saving water resources, especially in the arid region of the Gulf. The mall follows a number of measures aimed at controlling and limiting water consumption.

Throughout all the seasons, and during summer, in particular, DFC adjusts its irrigation system using a timer that allows controlling the amount of water used in the landscape.

Irrigation mechanisms in place are also sustainable and employ the already used waters – from the Mall’s ventilation systems and cooling tower, as well as harvested stormwater, to sprinkle the lawns and plants.

DFC also chooses to grow plants that are suitable for the Gulf region and do not require a high level of water consumption.

Furthermore, the Mall is currently upgrading its system to enable the utilization of TSE (treated sewage effluent) waters for chilled water circulation and will be able to fully rely on TSE water for its Chillers in the second half of 2021, while undertaking further action to boost the sustainability of its operations.
