- TAQEEF SANDRA BOU MADI

With the exponential growth of the global population, we more clearly understand not just the benefits but the importance of building more sustainable developments and smarter cities around the world.

Sustainability is embedded in the national agendas of governments, but also in the minds of consumers as we become more aware of the negative impact that climate change can have on our daily lives.

Now, more than ever, we realize that developing smart cities is crucial to support future generations.

A core theme of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development – creating a sustainable environment and infrastructure – is what’s driving future developments.

And, with the spotlight being shone on green buildings and smarter cities, the region has also seen a rise in the use of variable refrigerant flow technology for ACs, or more commonly known as VRF.

VRF is the fastest growing product segment in the HVAC market both regionally and globally.

According to a recent study by ReportLinker, a market research solution company, the VRF market in the Middle East and Africa region is expected to grow the fastest amongst all other HVAC categories.
