ARLINGTON, Va. - Fifty years of industry activity will be the milestone celebrated by the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI) at its annual meeting, which is scheduled to take place at the Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach, Fla., Nov. 16-18.
ARI was officially organized in 1953, primarily to give the industry a united voice. ARI went on to create standards against which air conditioning and refrigeration equipment could be tested, and to create industry-wide certification programs to verify product performance.
