There has always been a gap between these disciplines and complaints from Architects, MEP Engineers and Clients about these gaps. As ASHRAE, we thought of bridging this gap on a common platform and what better than getting both the fraternities on a common platform like ARCHITECTONICS, which brings Architecture and Technology together. We are bringing top Architects, Clients and MEP Engineers together in this forum to discuss and understand each other better. Voltas has been very supportive in this cause and ASHRAE Mumbai Chapter thanks Voltas for their continuous support”.

I feel proud to be Program Chair of ISHRAE Mumbai Chapter & Chair CTTC – ASHRAE Mumbai Chapter which gave me resources to be part of such events which will be an inspiration and guiding force for the new generation to learn from these Stalwarts who have not achieved their name by designs but made our country shine across the Globe”.

As Architects, it becomes our prime responsibility to act on different levels with allied engineering professionals like structural, MEP, landscape, transportation, environmental, etc., to improve performances and life-cycle of the buildings.
