MEP International Conference (MEPIC) 2025

The MEP International Conference in Saudi Arabia brought together key stakeholders in the construction and building design sectors to discuss the ongoing transformation towards more sustainable, smart, and cost-effective structures. As demand for sustainable and intelligent designs continues to rise, the integration of cutting-edge technologies, sustainable practices, and automation in smart building systems has significantly impacted the design, implementation, and maintenance of MEP systems. A key focus of the conference was a recent report by Strategy& Middle East, which highlighted the potential of sustainability-focused construction technologies. The report projected a 50-60% reduction in lifecycle emissions as part of the $2 trillion construction investment surge expected in the region. Saudi Arabia, driven by its Vision 2030 initiative, is set to be the largest contributor to this reduction by integrating energy-efficient technologies into its construction projects. The event emphasized the challenges faced by MEP engineers and suppliers in adapting to this rapidly changing landscape. However, it also underscored the significant opportunity for innovation, encouraging the development of new methodologies and strategies to build a more sustainable future for the built environment.
