  Aug 12, 202639 minS1

  Cooling demand across the Middle East is expected to grow dramatically in the coming decades but higher demand doesn't have to mean higher emissions. In this episode of Green Minds, host Walewein Lichtenauer sits down with Nabil Shahin - Managing Director of AHRI MENA to unpack one of the biggest challenges facing the built environment: how do we expand cooling capacity while reducing energy consumption? Together, they explore why maintenance is often the weakest link in HVAC performance, how standards and certifications influence long-term efficiency, the role of AI and emerging technologies, and why smarter equipment selection matters just as much as innovation itself. If the built environment is serious about reaching net-zero targets, improving HVAC performance isn't optional—it's essential. In this episode: • Why HVAC demand is projected to grow over 3.5× by 2050 • The overlooked maintenance practices that impact energy performance • Why standards and certifications matter more than ever • How AI, district cooling, geothermal and radiant cooling are reshaping HVAC • What governments, developers and FM leaders must do next Subscribe to Green Minds for conversations with the leaders shaping the future of sustainability.
