The second edition of the Climate Control Guide and Directory (CCG&D) is under production, with the aim of distributing it during The Big 5 show (23-26 November, 2009, Dubai). Today, thousands of consultants, contractors and buyers of HVACR products in general consider the CCG&D as the reference HVACR reference book for the Middle East region.

Further to The Big 5, CCG&D 2010 will be distributed at all major HVACR- and construction-industry events in the Middle East and elsewhere. The 2010 edition will cover suppliers of every HVACR product from chillers to valves, from pre-insulated pipes to heat pipes, from AHUs to cooling towers and from design software to controls systems. It will also cover service-providers, like chiller-maintenance companies and duct-cleaning companies, to name two. The Guide section of CCG&D, which will be in Super-A5 format, will contain detailed profiles of suppliers and service-providers. A typical profile would include a detailed description of the company and its products, information on the company's warehousing facilities, inventory and delivery profiles. The aim is to give readers information beyond the conventional, so that they can make better informed buying decisions. The Directory section will be a comprehensive listing of all companies. CCG&D will be more than a ready-reckoner of company information. Indeed, it will also contain such information as district cooling data (plants and networks in different stages of design and execution in the region), Green Building projects in the region, HVACR associations and testing centres in the region, and a section on HVACR terminology. The information on district cooling, in particular, will be presented in such a manner as to give a forecast that is not outdated till the time of the next edition of CCG&D. This feature will make it a coveted source of information.
