Jan. 22, 2015: Regional Standards and Effects on HVAC Industry to be Covered in AHR Expo Session
Session Will Discuss the Manufacturer’s, Distributor’s, and Contractor’s Perspective
CHICAGO — The new regional efficiency standards for residential split system and packaged central air conditioners will be discussed during a free AHR Expo session, “New 2015 Regional Standards and the Effects on Different Areas of the HVAC Industry,” scheduled for 3-4:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 26, at the AHR Expo, being held at Chicago’s McCormick Place, in room S106a.
The rationale for these standards is that the United States climate varies substantially. The goal of regional standards is to get as much cost-effective efficiency as possible for different locales. The standards took effect January 1, 2015, although there are grace periods before enforcement will start.
