What should the role of refrigeration engineering be in an economy facing increased demand for cooling and challenging targets to reduce national energy use? It is no longer enough to supply safe and reliable refrigeration - we now need to consider how cooling can be used more efficiently, how loads are better managed and how waste energy can be recovered.

What should the role of refrigeration engineering be in an economy facing increased demand for cooling and challenging targets to reduce national energy use? It is no longer enough to supply safe and reliable refrigeration - we now need to consider how cooling can be used more efficiently, how loads are better managed and how waste energy can be recovered.
On the 7th February the International Refrigeration Committee will be holding a half day business briefing that will investigate the ways in which HVAC&R technology can be used to respond to the challenges of energy availability and demand reduction. The event will explore key questions for policy makers and businesses in the UK refrigeration and energy use industry about the role the refrigeration industry could play in reducing energy demand and influencing energy policy development.
The IRC business briefing draws together input from overseas with leading experts drawn from the membership of International Institute of Refrigeration. It is designed to help inform UK policy and technology development with a mix of informative presentations and an opportunity to challenge policy issues with speakers.
