The seminar showcased a wide range of products that are designed to suit the growing requirements of the market and also addressed the current global issues such as global warming and energy crisis. Carrier, named after the inventor of commercial air conditioning Willis Carrier, is regarded as the world’s leader in air conditioning ever since it was formed in 1902. Carrier Corporation was the first air conditioner manufacturer, way back in 1994, to start a world wide program to phase out Ozone depleting Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) in its air conditioning products, 16 years ahead of mandates for developing countries including China, India and the Middle East. The firm still continues its legacy and has earned, in recognition of the company's achievements in helping restore the earth's protective ozone layer.

Apart from the ozone depletion, another health and environment related issue which has been hounding the mankind, is the quality of air people do breathe in. According to a recent study conducted in Britain, “the air inside an office is probably ten times more polluted than the outside air” According to the American Medical Association (AMA), 50 percent of all illnesses, including allergies, are caused or aggravated by the pollution of indoor air. The World Health Organization (WHO) has ranked allergies third on the list of world wide ailments after cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Today’s offices and houses can contain bacteria, viruses, mould, fungus, mites and volatile organic compounds (VOC’s). All these pollutants impair air quality and can be harmful to our health, and may cause headaches, fatigue, nausea, nose-, eye-, skin- and lung irritations, asthma and other respiratory problems. Sometimes being exposed to these pollutants for too long can cause cancer.
