HVAC & REFRIGERATION LIVE

limate change is the most important global topic of the moment, as human activity is having a measurable impact
on our planets climate systems. There are many human-related factors that contribute to climate change and planetary wide damage, from rain forest deforestation to plastic accumulation in the seas, from over- farming methane producing livestock, to the destruction of bee habitats. The most critical and relevant issue for our industry is the increasing amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which is the primary cause of global warming. According to National Geographic, along with water vapour and a number of minor gases, there are four major greenhouse gases; methane and nitrous oxide, which are relevant for the agricultural sectors; carbon dioxide
and ‘industrial gases’, both of which are relevant for the HVACR sectors. Carbon dioxide comes primarily from burning fossil fuels, which makes heating a critically important sector in terms of working to reduce the amount being pumped into the atmosphere. ‘Industrial gases’ consist of fluorinated gases such as hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, chlorofluorocarbons, sulphur hexafluoride and nitrogen trifluoride, which makes any sector using these gases to heat, cool or insulate responsible for driving down the production, use, leakage and disposal of such products. HVACR Live seeks to explore all of the areas where the UK HVACR sectors and the people working in them can make a real difference, even if it’s simply understanding what needs to happen through the seminars offered in the HVACR Live Conference. Climate Action is

the overriding theme of HVACR Live, bringing together voices from all aspects of the industry and bringing people in who need to hear the industry’s voice. The Conference is at the heart of the event, providing legislation updates, key area training, contentious topical debate and complex issue analysis. Keeping up to date with what’s happening now and in the future makes this an essential event to attend for anyone involved with HVACR.
BREXIT
The decisive steps that Prime Minister Boris Johnson has taken to facilitate the UK’s exit from the EU has brought with it an unprecedented amount of companies from outside Europe signing up for HVACR Live. Businesses planning to launch into the UK are based in countries as diverse as China, Dubai, South Korea, Turkey and the United States. Here we preview just a few examples: The continuing demand for low GWP refrigerant in Europe has prompted Petra
