The AHRI office in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, furthers its members’ interests by enhancing relationships with manufacturers, as well as governmental and non-governmental organizations in the region. Our team helps manufacturers address increasing regulatory requirements and demand for AHRI standards and certification programs in the Arabian Gulf, including within Gulf Cooperation Council countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, the Levant area, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and others, as well as in North Africa, including Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia.  

Regulatory Compliance  

AHRI supports regulators around the world by developing key components of the energy efficiency regulatory process for a variety of products in the HVACR and water heating industry. The AHRI MENA team is leading the development of standards and regulations by advocating on behalf of members and other stakeholders in the region.  

AHRI MENA chairs several Standards Subcommittees (SSCs) including Air Moving Systems, Chillers, Unitary, and Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF). The MENA SSCs are the first of their kind outside of North America and this is a significant step toward achieving AHRI’s goal of delivering region-specific standards and certification programs.
