AHRI discusses direction of HVACR and water heating industry

On March 3, executives from AHRI, ACCA, and HARDI met to discuss the direction of the HVACR and water heating industry, in the US. The meeting is said to have focused on energy legislation and the AHRI consensus agreements, with significant attention paid to enforcement and potentially difficult installations.

The group reportedly had several discussions about tax incentives for HVACR and water heating equipment. They also touched on commercial incentives and the potential of revising section 179D of the Internal Revenue Code (the whole building retrofit tax credit).
