ON whether electric vehicles and battery technologies will pose a threat or complement traditional fossil fuels in the transport and industrial sectors, Haitham said it is important to put this in context. 

“Yes, battery technologies are improving, yes, electric vehicles (EVs) are witnessing growth, but this comes at the same time as an expected huge expansion in the overall global vehicle fleet, which is set to increase from around 1.7 billion to 2.9 billion in 2050,” he said. 

“By this time, internal combustion engine vehicles are still expected to account for more than 70per cent of this.

“Moreover, as EVs expand they also face increasing challenges. For example, critical minerals, such as copper, cobalt, silicon, nickel, lithium, graphite and rare earths, underpin the development of EVs.

HVAC Engineering for Hybrid Operating Theatres

Discover how HVAC engineering supports the most critical built environments in the Hybrid OT Live Showcase at MARVEX 2025 – a collaboration with JAF.

This live demonstration highlights the core mechanical systems that enable Hybrid Operating Theatres, where surgical and imaging functions converge in a shared space with strict environmental controls.

Key Engineering Focus Areas:

✅ Precision Airflow Design to maintain laminar flow
✅ HEPA Filtration Systems for contaminant control
✅ Temperature & Humidity Regulation to meet operational thresholds
✅ Positive Pressurisation for sterility assurance

The showcase reveals how HVAC design directly impacts compliance, sterility, and system integration, offering engineers a clear view of the technical backbone that supports high-performance surgical environments.
