Event Description
FESQUA 2026: The Epicenter of HVAC&R Innovation in São Paulo
Scheduled for September 9-12, 2026, at the São Paulo Expo (Brazil), FESQUA - Feira Internacional de Refrigeração, Ar Condicionado, Aquecimento e Ventilação stands as the undisputed largest and most influential trade fair for Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HVAC&R) technology in Latin America. This premier biennial event gathers the entire industry ecosystem – from global manufacturers and distributors to engineers, architects, contractors, facility managers, and policymakers – under one roof to showcase cutting-edge solutions, foster business, and discuss the future of climate control and thermal management.
Contents & Key Focus Areas:
FESQUA 2026 will be a dynamic platform encompassing:
1. Comprehensive Product Exhibition: The core of the event features an extensive exhibition floor divided into key sectors:
Refrigeration: Commercial & industrial refrigeration systems, cold rooms, transport refrigeration, components (compressors, condensers, evaporators), and sustainable refrigerants.
Air Conditioning: Split systems, VRF/VRV systems, chillers, ducted systems, air handling units (AHUs), controls, and energy-efficient solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Heating: Boilers, furnaces, heat pumps (including geothermal and air-to-water), radiant heating, and integrated systems for all climates.
Ventilation: Fans, ductwork, air filtration, air purification (including IAQ solutions), and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) systems.
Components & Controls: Motors, valves, sensors, thermostats, building automation systems (BAS), IoT integration, and software for system optimization.
Sustainable Solutions: A major emphasis on eco-friendly technologies: low-GWP refrigerants, energy-efficient equipment, heat recovery systems, renewable energy integration, and sustainable building practices.
2. Technical Program & Education: FESQUA goes beyond the expo floor with a robust parallel program:
Congresso ABRAVA/FESQUA: The technical heart of the event, featuring keynote speeches, seminars, and workshops led by industry experts and international researchers. Topics will include the latest regulatory updates (like global phase-down schedules), advancements in system design, energy efficiency standards, smart building integration, Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), and the decarbonization of the HVAC&R sector.
Technical Workshops: Hands-on sessions focused on specific technologies, installation best practices, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting techniques.
Product Launches & Demonstrations: Companies unveil new products and technologies, often with live demonstrations highlighting performance and innovation.
3. Business Networking & Market Insights: FESQUA is a vital hub for:
B2B Meetings: Facilitating connections between manufacturers, distributors, contractors, and large end-users.
Industry Trends Analysis: Presentations and discussions on market dynamics, technological shifts, regulatory landscapes in Brazil and across Latin America, and future growth opportunities.
International Participation: Attracting major global players and visitors, reinforcing São Paulo's status as a gateway to the Latin American market.
Why São Paulo & 2026?
