Association says the new certification scheme provide realistic performance data at T3 with optional testing at T4 conditions

DUBAI, UAE, 11 February 2026:

Eurovent Middle East said it will host a dedicated technical webinar on the recently launched Eurovent Desert Certification scheme, which will take place on 24 February 2026 from 11:00 to 12:00 GST over Microsoft Teams. Making the announcement through a Press Release, the Association said the session is intended for HVACR industry stakeholders seeking deeper insight into high-ambient performance verification.

Eurovent Middle East said air conditioning equipment in the Middle East is subjected to challenging operating conditions during peak summer months and that while most products have been tested in the past these tests have failed to independently verify performance at peak loads.

The Association said the new certification scheme provides more realistic performance data at T3 condition (46 degrees C) with optional testing at T4 (48 degrees C). Eurovent Middle East said the scheme also incorporates a unique seasonal efficiency calculation referred to as the Desert Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (DSEER).

Eurovent Middle East said the webinar will outline key technical aspects of the Desert Certification scheme and that the scheme represents the first high-ambient performance verification scheme in the region. The Association said the session will focus on explaining the technical framework and verification methodology behind the Desert Certification scheme.
