An industry expert has called on the MEP industry to focus on sustainable growth in the sector rather than “ups and downs”.
Trane general manager Michel Farah explained: “For the manufacturers the MEP industry is a very important market, especially if we see some infrastructure and development which will mean everyone working towards more sustainable growth in the future.” He added that the market is still growing here, unlike in the US and Europe and because of this the industry has responsibilities to ensure sustainable growth.
Farah also commented on the firm’s aims to become more energy efficient in the future: “The products we design and produce are designed to be energy efficient and to contribute to lowering the greenhouse gasses and lowering the CO2 emissions. This is something we have had as a policy for our own offices. Next year for example we have a target to reduce our energy use by 15% and to reduce our greenhouse gas emission by 15% as well.”
