SMACNA 2025 Convention Comes to Maui: What It Means for Hawaii's HVAC & Refrigeration Industry

October 26–29, 2025 • Grand Wailea, Maui

This fall, the island of Maui will host one of the HVAC and sheet metal industry's most prestigious events—the SMACNA 2025 Annual Convention. As professionals, contractors, engineers, and manufacturers from around the globe gather at the Grand Wailea Resort from October 26 to 29, the spotlight shines brightly on the future of HVAC and refrigeration—and how Hawai‘i fits into that evolving picture.

Why SMACNA Matters—Especially in Hawaii

The Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors’ National Association (SMACNA) is the gold standard for technical expertise, safety, and innovation in our industry. From HVAC system design to energy-efficient sheet metal fabrication, SMACNA sets the bar for performance and sustainability—two pillars that are especially critical in Hawai‘i’s climate.

This year’s convention brings that global expertise directly to our shores. With climate resilience, energy efficiency, and system modernization taking center stage, the event is more than just a networking opportunity—it’s a chance to shape the future of cooling and refrigeration in the islands.

What to Expect at SMACNA 2025

• Cutting-edge technical sessions on refrigerant transitions, indoor air quality, and smart building integration

  
  

• Hands-on exhibits and demos from the top HVAC and sheet metal manufacturers

  
  

• Updates on federal codes and incentives—including the shift away from HFC refrigerants

  
  

• Contractor best practices for commercial, hospitality, and multifamily projects

  
  

• Sustainability workshops aimed at reducing carbon footprints in building systems

For Hawaii-based HVAC professionals, this is the ideal venue to see how mainland innovations can be adapted to meet local needs—from salt-air corrosion resistance to solar-integrated HVAC systems.

The Local Connection: Maui as a Model

Maui’s own recent airport HVAC upgrades, increasing development of net-zero buildings, and growing interest in smart energy management highlight the urgent need for scalable, future-ready HVAC solutions. Hosting SMACNA 2025 here recognizes Hawaii as not just a scenic backdrop—but a case study in adapting national best practices to unique island environments.
