MT. PROSPECT, Ill. — The ESCO Institute has reached a significant milestone by issuing their two millionth credential. The momentous occasion took place on Jan. 17, when Miguel Zavala from Savannah, Georgia, visited Johnstone Supply in Savannah to take the Low GWP Refrigerant Safety Exam. Little did he, or Michael Hesch (the test administrator), know that this exam would mark the 2 millionth certification credential issued by ESCO Institute.
Founded in 1988 by Jerry Weiss, the ESCO Institute has focused on educating the industry on new tools and advancements in technology. Understanding the need to prepare others for the future, Weiss worked with regulatory agencies, standards organizations, and other groups to develop new programs to prepare the industry for changes, such as decarbonization, electrification, or refrigerant transitions.
