Voltas. Acrex. An A1 Alliance!
When South Asia’s largest exhibition for HVAC and Intelligent Buildings and India’s largest player in this space get together, you know this association is going to be spectacular. And that is what Acrex has been, since the past so many years!
Voltas joined hands with Acrex as Knowledge Partner yet again, at the event held in Greater Noida from the 27th to 29th of February, 2020. The theme for this year was “The world of HVAC - Building a sustainable future together... Shudh vayuu, deerh aayu”. It was the perfect forum for the exchange of knowledge, trends and innovation from worldwide leaders and included workshops, seminars and interactive panel discussions.
Voltas has always been an active participant in this event. This year, the exhibition stall showcased products and solutions based on the theme ‘Building an efficient tomorrow’. Innovations from across Unitary Products Business Group(UPBG), Domestic Projects Group(DPG), Voltas Beko and IOBG were showcased at the stall.
During the course of the show, the company made three presentations. Mr Anil Kumbha, Head of R&D at DPG spoke
on ‘Adapting of Low Energy Technologies for Cooling in Indian Climatic Conditions’. A concept that is being spearheaded by the company. Mr. Ashwani Kumar Sharma spoke on ‘Indoor Environmental Quality: Global Scenario and Indian Challenges’ – a relevant topic for the HVAC segment, which held the audience’s attention.
Mr. Rejil Kumar from IOBG gave a presentation on prefab modules, which has become a game changer in the construction industry. Voltas has been using these since the past five years. Prefab has optimized time and manpower, improved safety on sites and better impacted the environment, too.
Over 12,000 people attended this three day exhibition.
A Blueprint for Sustainability!
Last year, Voltas joined hands with ITP Media to present the ‘Think Turf’ Series, a total of ten events that focused on driving discussions on ‘Smart Living’ amongst architects and designers. It brought together experts in the field who discussed the latest trends, technologies and innovations in enabling smarter, sustainable spaces.
The concluding event in this series was recently held at Hyderabad in February and was attended by over 100 architects and consultants. A powerful presentation by Ms. Vami Koticha, principal architect at Studio sP+a kick-started the event. She spoke about the unique projects her firm designed wherein sustainable material was used.
The Voltas presentation followed next. E Jayaraman, Zonal Head, South India held the undivided attention of his audience, when he, along with team members M D Kareem and Madhu Mamidi showcased all the superior ways in which Voltas has aimed for, and attained sustainability.
The last event of the day was a panel discussion, moderated by Supraja Rao of Design House, Hyderabad. It was a deep dialogue which delved into the serious contention that exploitation by architects under the guise of minimalism and sustainability may, instead, cause grave damage to the planet.
Think Turf events are hosted primarily in Tier 2 and 3
A Firm Connection with the Future
While the world moves to ‘sustainable’ and ‘green’ in a big way, this is a path Voltas has taken since the past many years! And this is exactly why Voltas was the perfect choice for a title partner at Design Wall 2019!
Design Wall is an initiative undertaken by ACETECH to promote and foster latest innovations & technologies in the architecture, building materials and design industry. The platform is differentiated owing to the focussed B2B meeting opportunities that it provides to its guests and partners. Select brands/firms were given a unique platform wherein they interacted with jury members one-on-one at round table meetings to personally showcase their products and services. These path-breaking winning entries were then displayed during ACETECH.
Design Wall was held in Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi. Voltas was the Title Sponsor of the event. At Delhi, Mr Bijo George, Sr. GM and Product Head, DPG made a presentation on the technologically superior Voltas products, and how they fit in with the future of this industry.
The event was the perfect opportunity to interact with the stalwarts of the Architecture, Design and Construction fraternity, as well as the gen-next of these fields. and Voltas was spot-on with its customer-centric environment friendly solutions!
