The international exhibition will feature collaborations with industry experts, as well as a series of complimentary professional seminars on green HVACR technologies and systems.
HANOI, VIETNAM, February 14, 2018, Wednesday – HVACR Vietnam, the only focused and most established international industrial exhibition in the country, is excited to be hosting its latest edition in Hanoi, after 11 previous editions in Ho Chi Minh City.
The trusted exhibition for Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, Air Filtration & Purification, and Refrigeration technology and systems, is the ideal platform for international manufacturers and suppliers to launch new products, reach out to buyers, appoint agents and distributors, build brand awareness, and establish business networks in Vietnam’s booming economy.
This year, apart from strong participation from local exhibitors, the event will also welcome international exhibitors from countries like China, India, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, and the USA.
Additionally, there will be international pavilions from China, South Korea, and Taiwan at this year’s HVACR Vietnam; the Korea Building Energy Management System Association (KBEMSA) and the Taiwan Metal Industry Association (TMIA) are two international groups that will be present.
A spokesperson leading the China Pavilion said: “We have more than 40 companies presenting a wide range of HVACR products in the pavilion, and most of them are coming to HVACR Vietnam for the first time. Naturally, they are very excited about the business potential in Hanoi and rest of Vietnam, given the vibrant and steadily growing building and construction scene in the country. All of us are looking for qualityand serious local buyers in Vietnam, and
Exceptional global interest in the annual exhibition has mirrored rocketing local and international demand.
Demand to Soar In Near Future
According to Navigant Research, global revenue for energy efficient commercial HVAC systems is expected to increase from $22.8 billion in 2015 to $47.5 billion in 2024.
Vietnam alone, which is shifting from a rural-agrarian society to an urban-industrial and services-based economy, is seeing a significant increase in urbanisation, which is expected to increase to 45 per cent by 2020. With it, Vietnam’s cold chain industry is set to expand considerably in the next few years, as demand for chilled and frozen food surges across the country, reported The Cool Star and Vietnam Investment Review in 2017.
Additionally, the Vietnamese’ voracious demand for cool air has made the country a priority market for many air conditioner manufacturers, the Vietnam Investment Review reported in June 2017.
Gearing Up To Go Green
Alongside the encouraging growth trend, the industry is also buzzing with excitement over a paradigm shift towards energy efficiency and sustainable products and measures.
Vietnam’s Ministry of Construction has developed a plan to reduce energy consumption per square meter of development by 10 to 15 percent compared to 2010 figures, and to have 30 per cent of public buildings and 20 per cent of private buildings to achieve green status, according to the Vietnam Green Building Council (VGBC).
The Viet Nam Real Estate Association also in May 2017 signed a memorandum of understanding with property developers to build green buildings in the 2017 - 2022 period, according to a June 2017 article by Viet Nam News.
Advantages of Green Buildings
These green appliances and technologies are implemented to lower energy expenditure, improve indoor air quality, enhance home and office comfort, reduce air and moisture infiltration, and increase the durability of the property as a long-term investment.
In a recent article published by Vietnamnet, experts in green building shared
Introducing Energy Efficiency Technologies
As such, HVACR Vietnam is proud to introduce a strong green theme in this year’s exhibition, featuring collaborations with industry experts, as well as a series of complimentary professional seminars on green HVACR technologies and systems.
Mr Park Byung-Hun, Secretary General of the Korea Building Energy Management System Association (KBEMSA) which has set up a pavilion at this year’s exhibition, said: “Our association was established to contribute to the development of high efficiency and green buildings through the development of ‘building energy management technology’, which integrates construction technology, ICT technology and energy management technology, as well as systematic management of building energy facilities.
“HVACR Vietnam 2018 is especially important to us, given the rising global attention on energy efficiency, and the emphasis of this year’s exhibition on showcasing the related technologies.”
Complimentary Power-Packed Professional Seminars
Throughout the three-day exhibition, a series of complimentary HVACR and Green Building seminars and technical talks will be held, hosted by HVACR Vietnam organisers as well as its partners the Vietnam Green Building Council (VGBC), and Vietnam Energy Efficiency Network (EEN-Vietnam).
EEN-Vietnam is a platform on partnership development and practical knowledge exchange between universities, engineers, energy users, energy consultancies as well as energy efficiency suppliers for the Vietnamese market, to deal with challenges on sustainability energy, and adapt energy efficiency use objectives.
Changing The Landscape of Vietnam & The World
VGBC, an international non-profit organisation, was established in 2007 to raise awareness and lead the way for the development of green buildings in the country.
Mr Dang Thanh Long, Executive Director of VGBC said: “Green buildings and facilities are the immediate future of our world, and there is so much potential for the development of this area in Vietnam. We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with HVACR Vietnam 2018 organisers, and we believe with the exhibition’s vast reach and solid credibility, we will be able to reach out to
