While the regulatory landscape in North America continues to embrace the naturals, it was only natural that an Atmosphere America International Workshop was held for a third year. In 2014 it took place in San Francisco. Again, the annual event was postured as “a business case for natural refrigerants” arguing that regardless of how governmental regulations play out, there is a favorable cost aspect regarding natural refrigerants that decision makers should consider when purchasing new HVACR equipment.

“Atmosphere America 2014 was the biggest and best ever ATMO, with 250 experts, 60 presentations across 13 different sessions to talk business and natural refrigerants,” said Marc Chasserot, chairman of the event and managing director for the European marketing firm shecco.
