The selection strategy of district cooling and conventional cooling (HVAC) is a never-ending debate. At this forum we will have more meaningful conversations on the new developments, policies, project reviews, innovations and technologies, regional updates, and decarbonization efforts bringing in a wider and more diverse set of audience.

This region plays a key role in curbing climate change and supporting the global efforts to reduce carbon emissions. The industrialization and urbanization in the region are leading to the rapid growth of industrial, commercial and residential buildings. Along with this, the region is witnessing an increased awareness and demand for energy-efficient cooling systems due to the recent policy developments and Net Zero targets.

Considering these developments, it will gather all the region’s key district and conventional cooling (HVAC) stakeholders to discuss and harmonize crucial areas including modernization, digital transformation, upcoming projects, regulations, energy-water nexus, and the latest in joint ventures and partnerships.

Key Themes:
• Identifying the best methods for cooling selection
