Exploring Air-Conditioning in Interior Design: Daikin Product Sharing Session
On 13 March 2025, the Faculty of Built Environment & Regenerative Design hosted a Daikin Product Sharing session, providing students from the Bachelor of Interior Design (Honours) and 室内设计大专文凭 programmes with valuable insights into air-conditioning selection, application, and technological advancements. The session was attended by 25 students from courses including Interior Design Materials and Technology (BID13083), Interior Design Materials and Finishes (DID23073), Colour Theory (ADE11023), and Design Studio Retail (BID22015).
The event featured expert speakers from Daikin Malaysia Sales & Services Sdn Bhd, Mr Lim Hock Lin and Mr Kenny Lee Kok Wah, both Senior Executive Sales representatives. They shared in-depth knowledge on air-conditioning systems, covering essential aspects such as selecting the right unit based on space requirements, the role of air-conditioning in interior design, and the latest advancements in air-conditioning technology. The session also included a Q&A segment where students engaged with the speakers to discuss real-world applications and sustainability considerations.
Key Takeaways
Sustainability was a key focus of the session, aligning with the principles of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria. Discussions highlighted energy-efficient air-conditioning solutions that contribute to SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action) by reducing carbon footprints. The session also addressed SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), emphasizing the importance of responsible material selection and eco-friendly design choices. From an ESG perspective, the event reinforced environmental responsibility, social education, and corporate governance in sustainable practices.
Through this knowledge-sharing session, students strengthened their understanding of air-conditioning selection and its application in design projects. The exposure to real-world design contexts enhanced their spatial awareness, material selection skills, and appreciation for sustainability in interior spaces. The insights gained from this session will serve as inspiration for future design projects, equipping students with practical knowledge applicable to the industry.
The Daikin Product Sharing session was an eye-opening experience, bridging the gap between technical knowledge and creative design. As sustainability and technological advancements continue to shape interior spaces, such industry collaborations play a crucial role in preparing students for their future careers in design.
