CONTENTS From the editor W
elcome to the March issue of ACR News.
There are two words that are in
every other sentence these days – ‘energy’ and ‘efficiency’. For a long time now, sustainability has been all about the refrigerants’ GWP, but as those become lower it’s becoming about the whole system’s impact on the environment with ‘energy efficiency’ being the next step.
In this issue, John Barker of Humidity Controls looks at energy efficient solutions while Karl Hodgson of Adande talks about energy labelling and Jean De Bernardi from Honeywell suggests that an ‘energy efficiency first’ mindset helps drive supermarket sustainability improvements.
IT is always moving forward at a phenomenal rate so Professor Dick Powell of Refrigerant Solutions decided to check out the latest new thing and engaged ChatGPT in conversation – see page 20 to find out how that turned out. I hope you find this issue informative and interesting,
