January 21st ASHRAE Luncheon and Technical Presentation

Greetings!  Please join us for our Jan. 21st Lunch and Technical Presentation.  Bill Dietrich of Daikin, will present on the following topic….Refrigerants: Where are we headed in North America?

Registration will close Wednesday, Jan. 16th at noon. Walk-ins are no longer able to attend luncheons.  If you are planning to attend you must pre-register.  

The refrigerant issue is back!  Those of you who have been in the industry for some time may remember the transition away from CFCs and HCFCs.  With new climate considerations many of the refrigerants we are using today are being called into question for the future.  This presentation will cover the basics surrounding the refrigerant issue: Alternatives, safety, performance, regulatory issues and next steps.
