The 2010 conference and meeting of the Asean Federation of Electrical Engineering Contractors (AFEEC) and the Federation of Asian Pacific Electrical Contractors Associations (FAPECA) were hosted in Philippines by the Society of Philippine Electrotechnical Constructors and Suppliers (SPECS).  The event was held on 24th & 25th November 2010 at Microtel Inn & Suites, Pasay City, Philippines.  It was held in conjunction with the 35th annual national convention and expo of the Institute of Integrated Electrical Engineers of the Philippines, Inc (IIEE).

This annual event drew participation from national associations namely Association of Indonesian Electrical and Mechanical Contractors (AKLI), Hong Kong Electrical Contractors Association (HKECA), Korea Electrical Contractors Association (KECA), National Electrical and Communications Association, Australia (NECA Australia), Taiwan Electrical Contractors Association (TECA), Thai Electrical & Mechanical Contractors Association (TEMCA), SPECS and TEEAM.

The conference themed “Green Engineering in Electrotechnical Construction” was timely as the world climate becomes steadily warmer and concerns on the impact of global warming heightens.  Hence collective effort is necessary to build a sustainable future with the incorporations of modern green technologies which are environment friendly and energy saving.

The 48th AFEEC Council Meeting and 24th FAPECA Executive Board Meeting were convened smoothly.  Members had the opportunity to exchange views on issues affecting the industry, current engineering practices and global trends.

Overall it was a fruitful meet to renew friendship, establish new contacts and exchange information on a broad spectrum. TEEAM delegates wish to record their appreciation to SPECS for the warm Filipino hospitality.

The next event will be held in Korea in October 2011.
