Engineering Uptime: Why HVAC Systems Fail During UAE Summer Peak Load

In this episode of Engineering Uptime UAE, Daniel Mercer and Layla Haddad discuss why HVAC systems across Dubai and the UAE experience failures during extreme summer conditions. The conversation explores: HVAC derating during 48°C peak temperatures condenser coil fouling and Delta T collapse preventive maintenance vs reactive repair cycles VRF and commercial cooling system stress SLA-driven Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) Asset Health Registers and evidence-verified maintenance operational risk in commercial towers and hospitality assets how poor maintenance governance accelerates HVAC lifecycle failure Using real-world UAE operational context, the episode examines how engineering accountability, structured maintenance governance, and preventive planning influence long-term building uptime and asset reliability. Engineering Uptime UAE is a podcast by SnapFixNow™ FMC focused on HVAC systems, preventive maintenance, commercial facility management, MEP operations, and engineering-led building performance across the UAE.
