(Publishers of Climate Control Middle East magazine)
Here we go!
As mentioned the last time around, this issue of the magazine marks the beginning of the Editorial Campaign, ‘IEQ & Fertility. And we at Climate Control Middle East can already feel the rush of excitement, given the assemblage of some of the most renowned specialists in the fields of fertility and air filtration. Over the years – and we are nearing 20 as a magazine – we have conducted weighty editorial campaigns, including on District Cooling, IEQ (in schools and healthcare) and the ongoing one on refrigerants. IEQ & Fertility is special, because reproductive health is an intensely emotional issue.
