EDITORIAL LETTER

The year 2013 ends and it is time for companies to start making their own balance sheets. In general, and compiling the reactions of some industry experts, both in air conditioning and refrigeration, the results have a tendency towards stability.

Remember what you did ten years ago? How many times have you wondered what changes our industry has had in the last decade? How important it is sometimes to do this kind of exercise. Going back in time is, sometimes, valuable to know where the future takes us, not to make the mistakes of before and to improve the past successes.

In our sector there are few Latin American media that daily make specific reference to the different air conditioning and refrigeration systems existing today.

A very special greeting to all our faithful readers of ACR LATINOAMÉRICA, for those who do not know me, my name is Duván Chaverra and I am the new editor of the publication taking the position of Ana María Restrepo, who accompanied us until the last edition of 2012.

Climate change has proposed a new scheme of care for the environment, which some of us comply with or support and others do not, and it is not entirely easy to be ecological, because many of the equipment we use or the things we do daily affect the environment.
