2016 AHRI Low-GWP AREP Conference
Date: January 21 — February 1, 2016
Location: UL

 

Thank you for your interest in the AHRI Low-GWP AREP Conference. The conference is now at capacity and registration is closed. AHRI discourages on-site registration, as space is not guaranteed. If you would like to add your name to a wait list, please email Kathleen Williams at kwilliams@ahrinet.org. 
 
Join us in Orlando before the ASHRAE Winter Conference to learn the results from Phase II of the AHRI Low-GWP Alternative Refrigerants Evaluation Program. This industry-wide cooperative research program identifies and evaluates promising alternative refrigerants for major product categories including air conditioners, heat pumps, chillers, ice makers, and refrigeration equipment. Phase II focuses on new refrigerants available since research began in Phase I in 2011, and on refrigerants used in high-ambient conditions.  

Speakers representing original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), laboratories, and universities will discuss the latest Low-GWP refrigerants, their testing, and performance.

The single-day conference will take place at the Rosen Centre Hotel, 9840 International Drive, Orlando, FL 32819, tel: (407) 996-9840, a half mile from the site of the ASHRAE Winter Conference and just 12 minutes from Orlando International Airport.
