Lori Schiavo, Arthur Miller - Why is training important?
PDF document
published on 6 June 2017
Natural refrigerants training is not mandatory in the U.S. and many companies see this as a problem, according to the Refrigeration Service Engineers Society, one of the world's leading education, training and certification associations for the HVAC&R industry. RSES’s Art Miller argued that with all the recent EPA-approved applications for the use of hydrocarbons in the U.S., the market has nowhere to go but up,
