Join us in Birmingham on 14 November 2023 for a one-day event dedicated to addressing the pressing challenges posed by the increasing frequency of extreme heat events, rising ambient temperatures, and the consequential threats to the reliability of RACHP system designs. There is also a risk that the increased demands for cooling to adapt to rising temperatures could undermine business and national objectives to reduce emissions from cooling as part of the net zero agenda.
In response to growing concerns surrounding climate change and its implications for the cooling sector, the IOR’s International Refrigeration Committee is bringing together this gathering of key international stakeholders to share insights and experiences in addressing the complex challenges arising from more extreme temperature variations.
Register for your place here to discuss the critical issues facing our industry and explore potential solutions.
