CLIMATE CONTROL MIDDLE EAST |
 |
|
Energy efficiency and IAQ have moved into our collective psyche like
never before. We are witness to a worldwide clamour for efficient
and elegant engineering solutions and strategies.
Climate Control Middle East recognises this sentiment among engineers
and technocrats and strives to perpetuate it among the readers. Playing
the role of a conduit, the magazine aims to share innovations and bold
engineering approaches – in all realms of the HVACR industry. A
case-in-point is the field of district cooling in the region, where the
very best of minds have assembled to deliberate and hammer out top-notch
solutions to technical as well as economic challenges. The magazine
takes upon itself the responsibility of channelling their solutions and
strategies to the wide readership, so that everybody can benefit and
push an entire industry forward.
Climate Control Middle East is about much more than
energy-efficiency, IAQ and district cooling, though. It is about people
and companies in the industry and a sharing of their concerns, ideas,
thoughts and perceptions. It is about community building and a sense of
fraternity.
Climate Control Middle East is accessible online at www.climatecontrolme.com and available in digital format through Zinio

CHILL |
|
|
 |
|
Chill is Climate Control Middle East's answer to a strong demand for an in-depth and focused look at the
district cooling industry in the Middle East.
Published semi-annually as a
pull-out supplement of the magazine, Chill contains
analyses, technical papers and guest columns on district cooling.
The prime objective is to present solutions and strategies that can
be adopted to surmount challenges in a fledgling district cooling
industry. To meet this, Chill is willing to adopt
innovative communication methods. A case in point is the June 2007
supplement, which featured a verbatim account of a roundtable
discussion on the O&M aspects of district cooling. Called DC Dialogue, the
discussion involved key personalities in the industry. They brought
to the table their day-to-day experiences on such issues as low
delta T, controls and measurement, maintenance of chillers, and
water treatment and cooling towers. The discussions were intense and
detailed; the solutions were relevant and immediately applicable.
