Retrofit News & Chronicle First published in 2010, the supplement was path-breaking in its presentation of news, analyses and reports on a fledgling retrofit industry in the region. Today, with ‘retrofit’ in popular currency, the supplement is attracting substantial interest for the unique historical perspective it is able to offer and for its tracking of current efforts through interviews with high-profile stakeholders, casestudies, features, reports and analyses. The issues include retrofit finance, the availability of specific technology, the rental market and installation-related challenges and innovations.

aving worked with some of the leading publications in the region and Internationally, Climate Control Middle East magazine is by far one of the most prominent professional magazines to work with. The magazine houses one of the best editorial teams in the region. They are professional, diligent and conscientious. Being astute in the latest industry happenings and having the ability to portray the news in a creative and stimulating manner is of utmost importance. Climate Control Middle East magazine poses this exceptional skill. Qatar Cool is proud to work with the magazine and its editorial team. We look forward to continuing our relationship with them, whilst they support us to articulate our story and achievements.

limate Control Middle East magazine is the only one of its kind in the region, as it focuses on a niche sector. For us at TROX, having a magazine that focuses on the HVAC industry, and which is not scared of talking about its shortcomings and achievements is significant. We have a long-standing relationship with the magazine, because it helps promote good quality and raise awareness of issues within the industry to customers, manufacturers and consultants.

YOUR GATEWAY TO THE HVACR INDUSTRY IN THE MIDDLE EAST

November Issue

Climate Control Guide & Directory (CCG&D) Into its ninth year, this standalone annual book is a ready-reckoner that lists all the players connected to the HVACR industry. The book, in Super-A5 format, is a comprehensive directory of manufacturers, resellers, agents and service providers, so that readers across the Middle East are able to find products in their territory. The book – primarily consisting of product-wise and company-wise listings – offers vendors targeted distribution to customers they need to reach, unlike the usual crowded directory in a generalindustry magazine. Today, thousands of consultants, contractors and buyers of HVACR products (including representatives of master developers and developers), in general, consider CCG&D as the most-focused HVACR reference book for the Middle East region.

PUBLICATION LICENSED BY IMPZ

Published every November, the book enjoys immediate exposure, thanks to The Big 5 Show, Dubai (www.thebig5exhibition.com), held in the same month. Further, it is distributed at all major HVACR- and construction-industry events in the Middle East and elsewhere, including AHR EXPO, The Big 5 Saudi, The Big 5 Kuwait, WETEX, Project Qatar, IDEA’s Annual Conference & Trade Show, ISH, Mostra Convegno, Chillventa, Saudi Air-Con and Saudi Build. In addition, it is extensively distributed through CPI Industry’s very own bouquet of marquee conferences and events. In short, it enjoys a year-long shelf-life.

Lack of operational data for VRF systems and a call for the harmonisation of regulations were the two topics that secured major time and attention amongst the stakeholders.

rom humble beginnings more than 10 years ago, Climate Control Middle East has very surely positioned itself as the single authentic mouthpiece of the HVACR industry in the Middle East. Every stakeholder in the HVACR industry in the region refers to Climate Control Middle East as their single, one-stop reference resource for the happenings in the industry, and this speaks highly of the team that conceived the magazine and nurtured its growth. Much of the phenomenal reputation of the magazine can be attributed to the unflinching and unbiased coverage of the industry, the technical soundness of its articles and the role it plays as the voice of the HVACR industry. Climate Control Middle East successfully connects the industry to its end users and is always at the forefront of new ideas and innovations. I have no doubt that the magazine will scale new heights at the global level in the very near future.

5th Annual Middle East Variable Refrigerant Flow Conference Towards critical mass 27 March 2017 Al Yasat Ballroom, Roda Al Murooj Downtown, Dubai, UAE

www.vrf-me.com

While the downstream aspects of the food cold chain receive a lot of attention from regulators, the mid-stream, consisting of cold storage warehouses, could be strengthened through better specialised refrigeration consultancy and contracting practices. Food Chain, into its 8th edition, will bring together 3PL cold storage warehousing companies and dedicated warehouses (large, medium and small), government regulators, contractors, consultants and technology solutions providers for macro- and microdiscussions that could yield solutions for better cold storage design, construction, operation and maintenance.

Doha International Food Safety Cold Chain Conference

The Consultant Contractor Conference

25 April 2017 | Doha, Qatar

Strengthening the foundations for better building performance 15-16 May 2017 | Dubai, UAE

Held under the patronage of the Qatar Ministry of Municipality and Environment, the Doha International Food Safety Cold Chain Conference and Expo is the most comprehensive canvas ever to address food safety issues in the Peninsula. With the 2022 FIFA World Cup not too far away, the objective of the Conference is to highlight the progress made to date in promoting the science, technology and business best practices in food safety, and exploring the road ahead to strengthen the goal of a safe and healthy society, as enshrined in Qatar National Vision 2030.

The Conference is also envisaged as a meeting ground of cold chain-related technology experts from the world over with a view to understanding global best practices. A key objective of this is to understand how the various technologies can fit well to provide a cutting-edge cold chain structure in the Peninsula.

The conference will be the most comprehensive ever and will feature the largest gathering of general and MEP consultants and contractors in the GCC region with an agenda to discuss issues that are preventing and, at times, perhaps even impairing them from delivering optimal solutions. The conference comes at a critical time.

With mega events looming in the horizon, and an urgent need for the building industry to align itself with environmental and socio-economic goals, such as the UAE Strategic Vision 2021, there is no disputing the fact that best practices in consultancy and contracting services represent two important pillars that hold up such ideals as energy efficiency, reliability and IEQ. In view of this, the Conference will hear the consultants and contractors speak on their concerns and explore the pathway to an enabling environment for them to sustain their businesses and to offer the best-in-class solutions.

2017 EVENTS

With increasing pressure to reduce power consumption, energy-related regulations have firmly come to the forefront. Bodies like SASO and ESMA moved into this a few years ago, and Qatar and Bahrain have launched MEPS programmes. These developments sit well with the VRF industry, which according to manufacturers and suppliers of the technology, can achieve critical mass sooner than later. The drivers are a drop in unit prices, proven ability for energy efficiency, flexibility, and the growth in the number of consultants, installers and maintenance personnel, who have received specialised and dedicated training in the technology in the region.

Special Feature: ‘VRF Installation Challenge Competition’ – a live theatre, where installers pit their skills and expertise to demonstrate the ease with which VRF systems can be installed in a facility.

3rd edition of DC Dialogue With greater market penetration as the goal, the roadmap ahead for the District Cooling industry in the Middle East 27 September 2017 | Dubai, UAE

2017 EVENTS

How resilient is the District Cooling industry in the Middle East, and what holistic measures must it adopt for greater market penetration? How well has it responded to the varying needs of its stakeholders, including utility providers, building owners and end-users over the years? What does the historical data suggest? The 3rd edition of DC Dialogue is a platform for those that have a finger on the pulse of the industry in the region and those from elsewhere with well-burnished credentials for cutting-edge business, governance, technical and financial approaches to supplying chilled water and measuring its efficacy and efficiency. The purpose of the mega-conference is to get a detailed historical perspective on the industry and take a scenario-planning approach to independently chart out the roadmap for the foreseeable future. Listen to financial institutions, mayors, contractual & legal experts, technocrats, utilities, master planners, technology-solutions providers and design experts as they hold court at the most comprehensive and dedicated conference ever, tailored specifically for the Middle East region.

Climate Control Awards 27 November | 2017 Dubai, UAE Widely called the Oscars of the HVACR industry, the objective of the blacktie, gala dinner event is to recognise merit across the various disciplines of the HVACR industry and to raise the bar on building performance, cold chain and fire safety, to name three.

To achieve the objective, CPI Industry enlists the services of seasoned HVACR professionals as judges and of a thirdparty certification agency to evaluate companies under several categories.

Into its seventh year, the Awards exercise serves as an objective and accurate barometer of the industry.

Pumps Middle East Multivariate viewpoints defining the progress of the pumps industry in the Middle East 20 March 2017 Andalus Ballroom, Habtoor Grand Resort, Jumeira Beach, Dubai, UAE

The first ever non-partisan, dedicated platform for pumps, the conference looks at the evolving role of pumps in the context of multiple applications in district cooling plants, CHP, waste-to-energy, power generation, and medium-to-large HVAC systems (for data centres, hotels, malls, airports and residential clusters).

Taking a broad, impartial look at vertical inline and horizontal systems, the platform addresses serviceability and reliability issues. A special feature of the conference is a focused discussion involving utility companies on water supply configurations in a district cooling scheme.

2nd Annual Middle East Fire Safety Conference 4 October 2017 | Dubai, UAE Starting with an endeavour to demystify recent updates to fire codes and the role for the HVAC industry, the conference seeks to address such specific issues as system integration, design analysis, smoke ventilation design in high-rises and healthcare facilities, the use of CFD in HVAC, zone control, lift lobby pressurisation systems, smoke purging, smoke curtains, fire-rated fans, building thermal insulation, power cables and sealants. The conference is the only platform that brings together expertise in HVAC and fire safety, thus giving a unique perspective on a critical aspect of society.

1st Annual Middle East Building Asset Management Conference 30 October 2017 | Dubai, UAE

Transforming building-retrofit aspirations into bankable projects in the region with a view to helping accelerate energy-efficiency targets 11 December 2017 | Dubai, UAE The key objective of the Conference is to engage the building services industry, building owners and banks and other financial institutions in discussions, which it is hoped, would lead to a better understanding among the stakeholders, thus facilitating a transformation of building-retrofit aspirations into bankable projects in the region.

Doing so, it is further hoped, would help the cause of accelerating the meeting of energy-efficiency targets.

he magazine provides great insights into interesting topics, pressing issues and new technologies. It is an excellent platform for the HVAC community to communicate challenges, solutions and best practices. The magazine’s increasing focus on sustainability and the preservation of energy and water is an essential component of its success. It has been a great space to share my thoughts as an HVAC professional as well as a representative of the ASHRAE and CIBSE local chapters. The magazine and its efforts to bring together the HVAC community via various equally successful and essential conferences and events are what make Climate Control Middle East stand out. Congratulations to the Editor and the team for an exceptional editorial profile in the Middle East. I look forward to continue being a part of the success of such a platform.

2017 EVENTS

A dedicated and focused conference on building management and building performance, the purpose is to not only discuss BMS but also talk about RMS (remote monitoring systems) and via-media, cloud-based solutions. The conference seeks to present regional and global case studies and also insights from consultants, contractors, master developers and telecom providers.

I

like to keep up with news about District Cooling, and I find Climate Control Middle East magazine to be a valuable resource. Its in-depth, educational articles are a great source for industry professionals and especially for those who are curious but might not be experts in some climate or energy-related fields. The well-rounded articles vary in topic area, thereby providing a variety of interesting reading.
