The Challenge

To combat 90% humidity and high temperatures for media attending an international business summit

The Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) is a summit involving the world leaders of Australasia, where they convene to discuss important matters that impact everyone in that part of the world.

In 2018, the APEC conference was held in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. Guaranteeing that this important summit is covered by the world's media is crucial. Providing the ideal environment for these crucial talks is imperative. 

Being situated in Papua New Guinea means 90% humidity and temperatures averaging around 28-32°C. The building that would house the entire media function had no air conditioning and would soon welcome more than 400 media personnel. 

The organisers required a partner who could provide the necessary reliable cooling and power that the summit demanded.

This was a challenging project due to the environmental factors and the tight deadline. However, our team of expert technicians and engineers were up to the task and the event went off without a hitch. The media personnel were very grateful for the protection our turnkey solution provided from the heat and humidity.
