IIR International Conference on Refrigeration Adapting to Rising Temperatures
As global temperatures continue to rise, the challenges facing the refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump (RACHP) industry are becoming increasingly complex. It is not too late to take action to mitigate the negative impact of climate change and it is important to realise that steps can be taken to help reduce rising temperatures. This new conference series explores these crucial issues, and allows experts dedicated to developing sustainable and resilient solutions to exchange ideas and foster innovation.
