Unprecedented. Unconventional. Chaotic. Exhausting. Whatever adjective you use to describe them, the first 100 days of the Trump presidency were a crazy time for our nation. People across the country — and around the world — have watched and tried to understand the policy directions of this White House. What have the first 100 days meant for the HVACR industry and what do they portend for the future?

A Call to Arms on Behalf of Energy Star’s Future

Eliminating The EPA program will be counter-productive

The Clean Power Plan will change the way the U.S. generates and uses electricity. No time could be more opportune than now to begin working on the national level and with the states to help them develop their plans.

Refrigerants Take the Global Stage

An international HFC phasedown is coming — and it will have industry-wide effects

It’s looking more likely that there will be a global agreement to phase down HFCs, and it could come as early as this year or possibly next; either way, it’s coming.

On Demand As AI workloads and high-density computing push traditional cooling methods to their limits, the data center industry is accelerating the adoption of next-generation HVAC technologies.

In this session, we will cover how to design VRF systems for the U.S. market using new A2L refrigerants. These systems provide an advanced zoning solution by using inverter technology to deliver precise heating and cooling control across multiple zones and spaces.
