The HVAC world is moving quickly. New rules, new tech, and bigger sustainability goals are changing the game for all of us. At Daikin, we’ve been leading that change for years, but we know technology alone isn’t enough. Staying ahead means staying informed.

That’s why we've started this podcast, to have real, open conversations with the people who know our industry inside out. We’ll be talking to everyone from policy makers and technical experts to hands-on installers, so you get insights you can actually use on the job. Whether it’s making sense of legislation or spotting your next big opportunity, we’ll cover the topics that really matter to you.

  • Comfort, Cognition and the Future Office
    Jun 14 2026

    In this episode of On Air with Daikin, Matteo Dall'Ombra speaks with Andrew Mawson, Founder and Managing Director of Advanced Workplace Associates, about the changing world of work and the role buildings play in helping people perform at their best.

    The conversation explores how workplace strategy has moved beyond desks, buildings and utilisation, towards a more human view of work: how people think, collaborate, build trust, manage cognitive load and respond to their environment. Andrew explains why the brain is the fundamental unit of productivity in knowledge work, and why organisations need to design workplaces, systems and behaviours around human performance.

    The episode also touches on hybrid working, intelligent buildings, environmental comfort, workplace choice, sleep, focus, open-plan offices, measurement, and the business case for investing in better workplace experiences.

    Mar 20 2026

    In this episode of Daikin On Air, we sit down with Chris Yates, Chief Executive of FETA (Federation of Environmental Trade Associations), to explore the role trade bodies play in shaping the future of the HVAC and building services industry.

    We discuss how regulation, standards, and policy are evolving in the UK, what that means in practice for manufacturers, consultants, installers and end users, and where the biggest challenges – and opportunities – lie as the industry moves towards lower‑carbon buildings. Chris shares FETA’s perspective on collaboration, skills, compliance, and the importance of practical, evidence‑based policymaking, offering valuable insight for anyone working in or around the built environment.

    We also discuss about Actuate UK, a new platform being developed by FETA for easier access to information and data.
