Qatar Foundation was on a journey to consolidate operations data from Education City’s 12-sq-kilometer campus and transform it into a smart city. It manages Education City’s facilities, which include more than 45 buildings, a hospital, and the famous Lusail Stadium, home of the 2022 World Cup. Qatar Foundation introduced AVEVA Operations Control to consolidate operational data from disparate control systems across its campus into one operating platform. Since implementation, newfound visibility helped Qatar Foundation improve operational efficiency and better respond to asset emergencies. They’ve also reached important sustainability goals, such as reducing water consumption and reducing overall energy consumption by 5.5%.
"The facility managers are in a position to tune better the performance of the buildings and achieve better sustainability goals. . . We want to utilize AVEVA Operations Control as the cornerstone for our digital transformation into a smart city and meet the Qatar National Vision 2030 in terms of reducing our carbon footprint."

Challenges
- Operational data came from disparate control systems across a 12-sq-kilometer area with over 45 buildings.
- Diverse makes and models of existing controls across facilities caused inconsistencies in visualization, trending, and reporting interfaces.
- Teams found it difficult to control and monitor all operations from a centralized control room.
Solution
- Deployed AVEVA Operations Control to streamline process visibility and centralized control. The high-availability infrastructure enabled operation from two command centers.
Results
- Substantial sustainability gains, such as reducing energy consumption by 5.5% and reducing water consumption.
- Data visualization through a common user interface simplifies access and brings significant time savings.
- A unified view of facilities data sets Education City up to become a smart city.
