The two-day Refrigeration 2017 conference, the announcement said, will feature international keynote speakers, and will look at the state of the industry and how it may respond to the future challenges initiated by COP 21 and the global HFC phase-down. The conference, it added, will also include sessions reviewing the latest technologies, and provides an opportunity to attendees to interact with suppliers about their latest refrigeration technology offerings at the trade display.

Now in its fifth year, The Future of HVAC Conference, the announcement revealed, will provide insight into the issues, practices, technologies, regulation and design approaches affecting the HVAC industry now and into the future.

The Building Simulation Conference, AIRAH highlighted, will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and information between simulation researchers, simulation developers, building designers and government legislators. 

“At AIRAH, we recognise that it is our steadfast responsibility to help improve HVAC&R technical knowledge and expertise,” said Tony Gleeson, M.AIRAH, CEO of AIRAH. “We take great pride in the curation of our annual conference schedule, and I’m confident that we can improve on the successful program we delivered in 2016. With conferences taking place across Australia, the 2017 schedule will appeal to the learning needs of our members, as well as the wider HVAC&R industry.”
