Muzamil Shaikhani, Managing Director, Rubberworld, emphasised the need for MEP-related training programmes in the GCC region, noting that such programmes will boost the general community and raise the standards in Dubai and the UAE as a whole. Shaikhani shared that Rubberworld has witnessed such a demand first hand. “We have these consultants and contractors who ask for initial help in the designing and consulting phase,” he said.

Shaikhani made these comments against the backdrop of the opening of ASHRAE’s new global training centre, on September 19 in Dubai. Calling the ASHRAE initiative as a good one, he said it would greatly help the community on aspects where stakeholders lack knowledge.
