Журнал "Мир климата" - все о климатической технике: кондиционеры, вентиляторы, обогреватели, VRF-системы и многое другое.
March is the beginning of the season in the climate business. By that time, the leading industry players complete the preparation of proposals and orders, price lists and catalogs. In the beginning of March, HVAC&R companies go to the exhibition "Climate World", where they discuss their plans for the nearest future. So, the exhibition is an essential event for any company which wants to work confidently and profitably during the summer season.
The exhibition organizers try to provide HVAC&R companies with a maximum of tools for successful work. In 2012 the exhibition "Climate World" will be held for the eighth time, and is expected to be the largest one. So far, the record was set by the pre-crisis 2008 exhibition. Then the exposition area was 19 000 m2. The exposition area of "Climate World 2012" would exceed 23 000 m2, it would occupy the second and the most of the eighth pavilion of the Central Exhibition Complex "Expocentre" on Krasnaya Presnya. The pavilions are connected by a heated gallery, so there won’t be any inconvenience for visitors to move over a large exhibition area, they would be able to see the entire exhibition without going outside.
As usual, the exhibition will be not only a presentation of new HVAC equipment, but also important for the discussion of what is going on at the market. Within the framework of the business program of the exhibition "Climate World 2012" the leading industry expert G. Litvinchuk will present a forecast for 2012 season. There also will be held an organized by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) conference on the implementation of the Project of UNIDO / GEF / Environment Ministry of Russia for phasing out ozone-depleting substances. The leading experts, coordinators and project managers will tell the conference what is being done now and what will be done in future to replace the equipment which use the most popular refrigerant R22.
It's not a secret that a sudden ban on the import of hydro chlorofluorocarbons (HCFC), which include R22, seriously affected the HVAC industry. Is clear that the phasing out of HCFC will have a lot of serious consequences. The matter is that natural refrigerants which should replace HCFC, are often toxic or flammable, or are otherwise dangerous. It again raises the painful question of skills of the personnel in our industry. Moreover, if before the low qualification of installer led only to the need for re-installation and to some increase in the volume of consumables, now with introduction of the natural refrigerants, the negligence and low qualification of specialists can cost life and health. The industry has long been seriously interested in improving the level of competence of its participants, but only now there appeared convenient tools for the regular increase of this level. In particular, now the control of qualification is exercised by the self-regulated organizations (SRO). Issues related to their activities will also be discussed in detail within the business program; in the discussion would take part representatives of the authorities as well as top managers of SRO, the largest industry associations and HVAC companies. By the way, the self regulated organization NP "ISZS-Installation" is to hold its traditional general meeting of members during "World Climate - 2012", and would share its experience in creating a regulatory basis for the sector. The visitors of the exhibition "Climate World - 2012" would have the opportunity to speak directly with the developers of these standards and find out all the issues associated with their use.
We hope we brought enough arguments to you for you come to the "Climate World - 2012" as a visitor or participant. But, as experience shows, not everybody who wants can come. Someone can not break away from business at the beginning of the season, someone can not get the plane tickets ... Do not worry: the entire business program will be broadcast on the Internet; on-line-services will allow you to take part in discussions and to put questions to any participant of the discussion. Internet will make it possible to follow the course of the exhibition and to get actual information about the main events. Of course, the Internet can not replace the live communication, but it can help to organize it: using our services, participants and visitors will be able to plan their work at the exhibition beforehand, to organize meetings they need via MatchMaking, which will not let them either to forget about the negotiations, nor miss them.
Reminder: The 8th International Specialized Exhibition "Climate World - 2012" is to be held in "Expocentre" on Krasnaya Presnya, from 12 to 15, March 2012. It brings together all key players of HVAC market.
