Accelerate Energy Efficient Cooling in Nigeria

Time: 10:00-10:45(BRT)
Venue: Nigeria Pavilion, Blue Zone
Organizer: Japan International Cooperation Agency(JICA), DAIKIN INDUSTRIES, LTD.
Theme: Energy Efficiency
Speaker from Daikin: Takahiro Asahi, Manager, External Relations Department, DAIKIN INDUSTRIES, LTD.
More information: Nigeria’s Cooling Action Plan predicts that the number of air conditioners will increase eightfold by 2050, resulting in a sevenfold rise in electricity demand and CO₂ emissions. This surge highlights the urgent need for energy-efficient cooling solutions. In response to this challenge, JICA and Daikin conducted a demonstration project in Lagos, Nigeria, evaluating the performance of inverter air conditioners using R32 refrigerant. This event will present the results of the demonstration test and explore action plans for transitioning to sustainable cooling.

Resilient Cities and the Air We Breath: PNQAI’s contribution to Architecture and the Climate Agenda at COP30

Time: 11:00-12:30(BRT)
Venue: Pavilion number 20, Green Zone 
Organizer: CAU-SP (São Paulo Architecture and Urbanism Council) and PNQAI (National Program for Indoor Air Quality)
Theme: Indoor Air Quality
Speaker from Daikin: João Manuel Aureliano, Senior Product Engineering Manager, Daikin Ar Condicionado Ltda.
More information: The PNQAI positions itself as a strategic framework for integrating health, architecture, and climate adaptation. By establishing measurable IAQ standards, promoting low-carbon HVAC technologies, and guiding the design of high-performance buildings, the PNQAI strengthens urban resilience in a warming world. Its approach encourages architects, engineers, and policymakers to embed ventilation, filtration, and energy-efficient climate control into the core of urban planning. As cities face rising temperatures, pollution loads, and extreme weather, PNQAI offers a blueprint for climate-aligned building practices—ensuring that resilience is not only structural, but breathable. 

Main Exhibition Details (Plan)

• Current status of CO2 emissions from buildings and the reduction effects achievable with an energy recovery ventilator system
• Comparison between conventional ventilation methods and this system
• Hands-on demonstration showing how differences in humidity can affect comfort even at the same temperature
