Honeywell is collaborating with Integrated Industrial Gases (IIG), Trane and ASHRAE to deliver environmentally preferable refrigerant solutions to Saudi Arabia. Amir Naqvi, Regional Marketing Leader, Honeywell Fluorine Products, Middle East, Turkey and Africa, emphasised that the collaboration supports Saudi Vision 2030, “which aims to reduce energy consumption in the kingdom and limit the environmental damage of greenhouse gases, in line with global regulations”.

Naqvi said the project reinforces Honeywell’s commitment towards improving building performance and increasing sustainability in the Middle East. He stressed that in the summer months, cooling technology becomes vitally important in countries like Saudi Arabia, with the summer temperature averaging at 45 degrees C and climbing to even 54 degrees C.
