The HVAC industry is shifting its focus from conventional cooling to sustainable building solutions emphasising energy efficiency and better indoor air quality.
For air filtration specialist Camfil, the aim is to create healthier indoor environments while improving energy efficiency. The Swedish company provides filtration solutions for industries including hospitals, data centres and microelectronics.
“With our products, we want to protect people, processes and the planet together,” said Veenthen Naikker, its Marketing Executive.
Camfil also highlighted filtration technology designed to remove particles and molecular pollutants, particularly relevant during haze conditions across Malaysia and Southeast Asia. Its low pressure drop filters are designed to reduce the workload on HVAC fans and, in turn, energy consumption.
“We choose materials that are low in pressure drop, so that your fans don’t work as hard,” said Jeremy Cheong, Product Executive at Camfil.
Meanwhile, Midea Scott & English Electronics is expanding its commercial HVAC solutions as Malaysia’s data centre sector continues to develop. Its offerings include chillers, fan wall systems and cooling distribution units designed for large scale cooling requirements.
Sustainability is also becoming an important part of Midea’s product development strategy.
“We continue to produce more efficient or even greener products to make this world a better, liveable place,” said Danny Ong, Sales Manage, MBT Division of Midea.
Trocellen, meanwhile, is approaching energy efficiency through insulation. The German company specialises in polyethylene foam used in HVAC ducts, chiller pipes and building applications.\
“We use insulation to achieve passive cooling, preventing heat from entering the building in the first place,” said Leon Chew, Senior Sales & Marketing Manager, Trocellen.
Together, the three companies reflect a shift in the HVAC sector towards technologies that combine performance with sustainability from cleaner air filtration and efficient cooling systems to insulation that reduces energy demand.
As the industry continues to evolve, the focus is increasingly on designing buildings that are not only comfortable, but also healthier, more efficient and more environmentally responsible.
