The Middle Eastern Building Controls Market 2009-2014 Covering Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE (to be published April 2010).

The purpose of the study is to provide a detailed quantitative and qualitative assessment of
the current and future markets for intelligent control systems in non-residential buildings in the
Middle East so that marketing and product strategies can be determined.

This study is targeted to assist all those concerns involved in the design, manufacture and
installation of intelligent controls including:

- Building Controls Manufacturers
- Controls Contractors (Systems Houses)
- System Integrators
- Distributors
- Energy Management Service Companies (EMSCO's)
- OEM's of HVAC Hardware
- Architects and Building Services Consultants
- Security and Safety Companies
- Telecommunications & Computer Hardware Manufacturers

The report also investigate the implications of the movement of the industry towards an ITcentric
business and the role that XML and TCP/IP was playing in convergence and
integration of intelligent controls in buildings. These factors together with the use of IT
networks to carry all the IBC(e) information that building owners and managers now demand
will become a stronger driver for IBC(e) in the next five years. However, the main theme in
this study is the return of the importance of energy saving and conservation in buildings and
its implications for DDC controllers and systems that have a wide range of functionalities are
in greater demand. This is also favouring those suppliers can present holistic solutions that
cover all aspects of the technical infrastructure and the life cycle of the building. Whilst we do
not envisage any major disruption to the supply side, which would require drastic changes to
business models, much more attention to sales strategies and alliance with specialists will be
required.
