ASHRAE Qatar Oryx Chapter has announced that it will hold a full-day seminar on “sustainability and efficiency in chiller systems” on September 6 at the Millennium Hotel, Doha.

The technical seminar is being held in association with Trane, Qatar, the announcement added.

The talk presented by Mike Patterson, CEM, LEEP AP BD+C, will be the central focus of the seminar, and will reportedly explore the sustainability of a chiller system with a specific focus on refrigerant.
