HVACR World, a specialist event for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA), will showcase more than 5,000 products from over 100 exhibitors on 23–26 November 2026. The event takes place at the Trade Centre Arena, Dubai World Trade Centre. It is endorsed by AHRI and ASHRAE Falcon Chapter, expects more than 12,000 industry professionals and focuses on energy-efficient systems and climate-responsive HVACR technologies.
The exhibition covers cooling, refrigeration, ventilation, indoor air quality, smart controls and building automation. Products on display range from air conditioning equipment and climate controls to heat exchangers, pumps and alternative energy equipment. Exhibitors come from China, India, Italy, South Korea, Spain and Türkiye, among other countries. Participating brands include AHI Carrier, Haier, Honeywell, Midea, ebm-papst, K-Flex, Greystone Energy Systems, Aerolam and Dolphin.
HVACR World is co-located with Big 5 Global, with Midea as HVACR Strategic Partner and Toshiba as premium systems sponsor. The HVACR Talks programme will run CPD-certified sessions with speakers from AHRI, ASHRAE, the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR), AREA, Epta Group and Toshiba. The agenda has four topics: data centres and sustainable cooling, decarbonizing existing buildings through HVAC retrofitting, resilient HVAC design, and refrigerant transition and compliance readiness.
AHRI will hold a closed-door leadership roundtable on three subjects: refrigerant transition, a common sustainability framework based on Environmental Product Declarations and Product Category Rules, and standards across the region. ASHRAE will run a paid Global Training on Real-World Energy Management, led by Hassan Younes, Co-CEO and Founder of Grfn. It covers energy performance, carbon management, water efficiency, ISO 50001 and ASHRAE/IES Standard 100. An invite-only UN Ozone Workshop will bring together ministries of environment and National Ozone Units from West Asia and the Arab League. Its agenda covers Kigali Amendment implementation, low-GWP refrigerants and A2L readiness.
“Across MEASA, from mega projects to mission-critical facilities, rising performance expectations and sustainability targets are increasing the need for efficient, reliable HVACR systems. With the regional market forecast to reach $18.4 billion by 2030 (Expert Market Research), demand for solutions that balance efficiency and reliability will continue to grow,” said Josine Heijmans, Senior Vice President, dmg events.
