Overview
Greenhouse gases and climate change – the result of their excess in the atmosphere, among other causes – respect no borders, as do airborne diseases, which somehow find a way past the most stringent of checks, as evidenced during the harrowing days of the COVID-19 pandemic. We live in globalisation in more ways than one. And so it falls upon each and every one of us to be part of a collective responsibility in building our cities on the platforms of socio-economic and sustainable development.
The two targets embody the spirit of the Climate Control Awards franchise, established in 2011. They encompass the multitude of disciplines that go into building our residential, commercial and industrial spaces, and conditioning the air in them for a diversity of purposes. The disciplines are the various awards categories my team and I have so carefully drafted to facilitate your willingness to evaluate yourself against the best.
And so yes, the Climate Control Awards is a competition leading to an iconic and prestigious trophy, and yet it serves a higher purpose – to inspire a raising of the HVACR bar to lift the quality of life. The Awards exercise is not merely about winning a trophy and staking the claim for technological or business superiority; instead, it is an instigator of the pursuit of excellence and, through that, elevating the standards of an entire industry.
My team and I have gathered a set of judges who abide by strictness and integrity and are earnest about ensuring the very best of businesses and individuals are recognised. They stand by an evaluation process that is data based, using duly recorded data that is verifiable.
On behalf of my team at CPI Industry, I do hope you appreciate the thought processes that underpin the inaugural edition of Climate Control Awards INDIA – a global benchmark of exemplary performance in the country. And I hope you come forward and submit entries and, thereby, accept the challenge of being evaluated on where you stand. It takes tremendous courage to do so – and is a sign of maturity and self-assurance.
With Best Wishes,

About the Climate Control Awards platform
Popularly known as the ‘Oscars of the HVACR Industry’, the objective of the black-tie, gala dinner event is to recognise exemplary performance across the various disciplines of the HVACR industry and allied sectors, and to raise the bar on building performance, cold chain and fire safety, to name three. To achieve the objective, CPI Industry enlists the services of seasoned HVACR and other relevant domain-specific professionals as judges and of a third-party certification agency to evaluate companies under several categories. “Climate Control Awards INDIA” is part of CPI Industry’s long-standing awards programme, which to date has hosted 17 Awards ceremonies across Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, with the support of jury panels consisting of judges from the world over, including Egypt, England, India, Ireland, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Syria, United Arab Emirates and the United States – a truly global exercise. The Awards exercise serves as an objective and accurate barometer of the industry.
