ASHRAE will present a series of refrigerant and residential building “mini-track” seminars at the 2018 AHR Expo.

The 2018 ASHRAE Winter Conference takes place Jan. 20-24 at the Palmer House Chicago with the co-sponsored AHR Expo being held Jan. 22-24 at McCormick Place. To register for the conference, which includes free access to the Expo, visit www.ashrae.org/chicago.

The eight seminars are free, and no badge is required to attend. They take place from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 22.

According to Michael Collarin, conference chair, high-efficiency home materials and the drive to incorporate low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants are timely subjects for building industry professionals.

“The refrigerant and residential mini-tracks featured at this year’s AHR Expo highlight two industry segments that are experiencing rapid change,” he said. “The goal is to provide an integrated look at these two important topics, in order to equip manufacturers, designers, building owners and other users with the resources they need to improve residential energy efficiency and overall sustainability.”
