INFORMATION |
| |
The fundamental aim of CPI Industry is to adopt a fresh approach to
analysing the industrial sector in the Middle East.
Established in 2003 as a division of Corporate Publishing
International, CPI Industry gave shape to its aim by producing the
region’s first ever UPS and Genset guidebook, Power Solutions Middle
East. Since then, it has produced annual editions of the guide. In
the winter of 2005, CPI Industry added the HVAC Guide Middle East to
its portfolio of annual guides. And in January 2006, it launched
Climate Control Middle East, the first ever monthly magazine on the
region’s HVACR industry. Subsequent to that, CPI Industry launched H2O in June 2006 and MEGAWHAT in September 2007. In addition, CPI Industry acquired The Big Project in March 2007.
CPI Industry produces focused,
vertical publications to serve a market need for special-interest
publications with on-the-spot information, as opposed to general
trade magazines that make the acquisition of news and information a
time-consuming affair.
CPI Industry fully understands that focused publications demand a
focused approach. As a result, it has in place a team of
professionals, each of whom is immersed in happenings in a
particular industry, be it HVACR, power or water. As a team, CPI
Industry has the depth of publishing experience and reach to be able
to produce insightful guides and magazines for a discerning,
demanding and time-starved group of professionals in industrial,
construction and allied sectors. |

CLIMATE CONTROL MIDDLE EAST |
 |
|
Energy efficiency and IAQ have moved into our collective psyche like
never before. We are witness to a worldwide clamour for efficient
and elegant engineering solutions and strategies.
Climate Control Middle East recognises this sentiment among engineers
and technocrats and strives to perpetuate it among the readers. Playing
the role of a conduit, the magazine aims to share innovations and bold
engineering approaches – in all realms of the HVACR industry. A
case-in-point is the field of district cooling in the region, where the
very best of minds have assembled to deliberate and hammer out top-notch
solutions to technical as well as economic challenges. The magazine
takes upon itself the responsibility of channelling their solutions and
strategies to the wide readership, so that everybody can benefit and
push an entire industry forward.
Climate Control Middle East is about much more than
energy-efficiency, IAQ and district cooling, though. It is about people
and companies in the industry and a sharing of their concerns, ideas,
thoughts and perceptions. It is about community building and a sense of
fraternity.

CHILL |
|
|
 |
|
Chill is Climate Control Middle East’s
answer to a strong demand for an in-depth and focused look at the
district cooling industry in the Middle East.
Published semi-annually as a
pull-out supplement of the magazine, Chill contains
analyses, technical papers and guest columns on district cooling.
The prime objective is to present solutions and strategies that can
be adopted to surmount challenges in a fledgling district cooling
industry. To meet this, Chill is willing to adopt
innovative communication methods. A case in point is the June 2007
supplement, which featured a verbatim account of a roundtable
discussion on the O&M aspects of district cooling. Called DC Dialogue, the
discussion involved key personalities in the industry. They brought
to the table their day-to-day experiences on such issues as low
delta T, controls and measurement, maintenance of chillers, and
water treatment and cooling towers. The discussions were intense and
detailed; the solutions were relevant and immediately applicable.

| H2O |
|
|
 |
|
Water evokes a deep sense of responsibility among engineers,
technocrats and developers in the region. Issues relating to
desalination, distribution and recycling occupy much mind-space. Taking cognisance of this,
H2O is intent on sharing solutions and strategies with the
industry. The magazine acts as a conduit, exposing readers to
technological innovations in such areas as MBR, dewatering,
compacting and brine disposal, to name a few. The magazine brings home
lessons learned through guest columns, cover stories and case
studies, be it on the Sulaibiya plant in Kuwait, Ashghal in Qatar or
the Ajman plant in the UAE. In addition to a strong
technical leaning, the magazine focuses on the people in the water
industry. It focuses on key personalities and throws as much light
on their lives and events that have shaped their career-path as on
their concerns, thoughts and strategies vis-à-vis the water industry
in the Middle East. H2O is accessible in a unique digital
format at

BIG PROJECT |
|
|
 |
|
The Big Project aims to understand the
main aspects of a project, vis-à-vis architecture, design, the
building industry and property development. Every month, The Big
Project reviews two or three projects in detail by speaking to
the architects and masterplanners. It also looks at regional and
international trends in architecture and design and developments in
the property boom.
The Big Project also features
construction case studies, innovative solutions to design, regional
perspectives from trade bodies and institutions and best practice
issues. It functions as an instrument of change by contextualising
global design concepts into the regional framework and addresses
issues of project sustainability.
The magazine showcases the crème-de-la-crème of the
practice from the Middle East and Northern Africa regions, in
particular, and the international markets, in general.

INDUSTRY TEAM |

Dominic De Sousa
Publisher and CEO
|
Originally a biochemist, Dominic found his
real vocation in selling. From managing an electrical
goods store in London, he joined Reed Business Publishing and
rapidly became involved with the key strands of his career:
computer publications and the Middle East. He started CPI almost
two decades ago, and the company has grown from three employees
and one magazine to more than 50 staff and approaching 20
titles. A tireless worker, Dominic, has built the company on two
foundations: firstly, that the region deserves the world's best
- be it information, or talent or licensed magazines - and,
secondly, that quality people, practices and achievements from
the region should be given global exposure.
When not engaged in frenetic business
activity, De Sousa's passion is wildlife. He rescues
abandoned and sick animals, devoting his off-duty hours to
their welfare. Occasionally, he can be persuaded on stage to
sing – a reminder of his early musical career in the UK.
