TECHNICAL AND EXHIBITED OFFER The excellent results obtained in this edition of CLIMATIZACION, are once again based on a wide and innovative exhibition and an exhaustive programme of technical conferences of great interest to all the professionals in the sector. Thus, to the new features displayed by the majority of the exhibitors in presentations which are increasingly varied and interesting, we must add the attractive format of GALERÍA DE LA INNOVACIÓN, in which a rigourous selection of 14 products have stood out because of their incorporation of the latest technological innovations. Temperature control and air conditioning humidity systems, legionnaire´s disease prevention and telecontrol systems by Internet or mobile telephones will be displayed in an exclusive space within the fair. This year, IFEMA has wanted to contribute economically with the hydrosanitary programme that the DNGO Engineering without Borders (EWB) is carrying out in the district of Kigoma, Tanzania by donating the total amount of the registration fees by the participating companies in the INNOVATION GALLERY, giving the event a charitable dimension. For its part, FORO CLIMA, has gathered numerous conferences, debates and roundtables in the framework of CLIMATIZACION 2005. It has resulted in a stimulating and rigourous forum in which professionals have been able to update knowledge and make contributions on standardization and regulations; EC market; hygienization; energy efficiency; environment and sustained development; systems, equipment and technology; quality control and renewable energies. Simultaneously, the second Mediterranean Congress on Air-Conditioning CLIMAMED was staged. CLIMATIZACION 2005 was inaugurated together with GENERA 2005, the International Energy and Environment Fair, which was once again staged simultaneously by the Secretary General of the Ministry of Housing, Javier Ramos. During four days visitors and exhibitors were able to participate once again in the excellent event for promoting business and establishing trade contacts, also consolidated its role as a forum for obtaining the latest trade information which is held every two years at FERIA DE MADRID.
