Siemens announced the Tornado Tower in Doha, Qatar, has been lit up in green using energy efficient LED lights, for the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP18), in an effort to establish a strong focus on green technology innovation.

The Tornado Tower, an example of Siemens Total Building Solution, is located in the West Bay business district of Doha. Resembling a tornado in the desert, the impressive building is 200 metres tall and offers 58,000 square metres of world-class office space on 52 floors. Siemens’ Tornado Tower intelligently integrates all building technology disciplines to make the tower a landmark for maximum security, energy efficiency, and flexibility while offering the highest level of comfort. Additionally, an ongoing monitoring and reporting system makes it possible to reduce energy consumption, save resources and minimise CO2 emissions.
