SINGAPORE, Aug. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Mostra Covegno Expocomfort (MCE) Asia exhibition will hold its inaugural international show in Singapore from 2 to 4 September at the Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre this year. Held outside of Milan, Italy, for the very first time, the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) exhibition will be focused on the Cooling, Water, Renewable Energy and the Heating sector.
"We have been experiencing extremities in the weather for the past couple of years now and demand for HVAC equipment is set to grow exponentially globally over the next few years," said Pierini Massimiliano, Business Unit Director of MCE Italy. "There is a need for us to provide a sustainable solution, particularly in Asia which is experiencing rapid urbanization and development. We need to constantly innovate and create new technologies for HVAC equipment to be more environmentally friendly. With a platform like MCE, we hope to be able to create a one-stop business exchange of latest information within the HVAC industry.
Visitors to this year's MCE Asia can expect to be exposed to adiverse mix of local and international companies such as RubinetterieBresciane, Itap,Galletti Group, CimberioValve, COES Company, Daikin Airconditioning Singapore and Panasonic Appliances Air-conditioning Systems. It will bring together more than 114exhibiting companiesfrom27 countries and regions to showcase the latest technologies in the HVAC sector, positioning itself as one of the leading business platforms for insights exchange on HVAC technology.
"As global temperatures continue to climb, there is the need for air conditioners to be both eco-friendly and efficient," says Swen Tan, Consultant Sales Manager of Daikin Airconditioning Singapore. "Fortunately, the rapid pace at which technology is progressing, together with greater investments in green technology, allow for constant innovation to take place. Looking forward to sharing our Smart Energy Saving technologies, we strongly believe that MCE Asia's position as a knowledge-sharing platform will play a part in our collective efforts towards green innovation."
Set against a backdrop of US$2.5 trillion to be spent on renewable technologies in Asia Pacific region by 2030[1], the MCE Asia exhibition will tie together the dual concept of energy saving and efficiency via innovative technologies or integrated systems with enriched living comfort through optimised indoor environment quality. The exhibition is targeted at specialised building professionals within the residential, commercial, industrial, institutional and hospitality sectors, and professionals who are concerned with the above evolving trends.
"We are continuously looking to provide a holistic platform for the exchange of green ideas that will engage our visitors. We are honored that MCE is partnering with us for their first foray outside of Italy. Greening in the HVAC industry has received huge amounts of attention over the last couple of years, and this is the opportune time to steer the conversation to ideas of sustainability. We hope that through creating conversations on this topic, we are encouraging companies that have the ability and technology to share their experience and solutions," said Louise Chua, Project Director of BEX Asia 2015 and MCE Asia 2015.
Walking the Green talk
The effects of climate change in Singapore are evident in its bouts of high temperatures as well as erratic thunderstorms. 2014 also saw the month that Singapore experienced its longest dry spell[2]. In the face of coping with more extreme temperatures and weather, there has been an increasing emphasis on energy-efficient chillers. The wide adoption of this technology, along with other green building features, saw an average of 25-30% energy savings in 2013. [3]
"In keeping up with urban planning and development, green building technology needs to be well-rounded, and be able to meet current and future needs of the community," said Chua. "This requires constant innovation from developers, and every player plays a part in helping the green industry move forward."
"In 2015 alone, we have experienced a series of blistering heat waves in Singapore and around the world. The demand for heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment is set to grow exponentially," said Samuel Castrejon, International Sales Manager of Sumner Manufacturing, one of the exhibitors this year. "We have a responsibility to develop environmentally-friendly solutions to ensure that we do not further contribute to greenhouse gas emission and global warming. Through a platform like MCE Asia, it helps facilitate a global exchange of ideas and solutions, helping companies reduce their carbon footprint on the earth."
Regional Exchanging and Sharing of Knowledge
At MCE Asia 2015, visitors can look forward to MostraXchange, a three-day seminar where a rich lineup of speakers will address pressing topics and research findings, ranging from the use of energy-saving valves in humid climates, to embracing cooling tower elimination in chillers, as well as the design and construction of energy efficient buildings. Speakers will include Prof. William P. Bahnfleth, ASHRAE Presidential Member (2013 – 2014), Jay Egg, President of EggGeothermal Consulting, Man Kit Leung, Director of Sustainable DesigninRonald Lu & Partners as well as Marc Thuillard, Head of Research of Belimo Automation.
MCE Asia will also be the ideal exhibition for European businesses to meet Asian buyers and export to Southeast Asia via direct contact with regional building professionals and distributors. An expected 11,500 business meetings are expected to be set up during the three-day trade show, so as to forge partnerships between businesses with potential customers, representatives, suppliers and associations.
