Interview with Apo Sadak on efficiency, waste heat and the circular economy in building systems.

“Planning has to prove itself in operation”. That is Apo Sadak’s personal GOOD TO KNOW after 20 years on the job. As HVAC Lead Engineer at Covestro, he makes sure heating, ventilation and air conditioning run reliably, safely and efficiently in production, labs and offices. In the interview, he explains how energy monitoring makes root cause analysis easier, how waste heat can be fed back into a building’s circuits, and what the circular economy means when modernizing a ventilation system.
