International. Industry trade associations and professional bodies from around the world have come together to establish June 26 as World Refrigeration Day, to be celebrated from 2019 around the world as an annual event.
These groups encourage the entire global industry to seize the opportunity to promote the important role of refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pumps in the well-being of humanity.
World Refrigeration Day is intended to serve to raise awareness and understand the general public about the important role that industry and its technology play in modern life and society, and RACHP and HVACR organizations and professionals around the world undertake range of activities.
Associations and societies from the USA, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, Thailand, Australia, Africa and across Europe have expressed their support for the establishment of World Refrigeration Day.
Miriam Rodway, Executive Director of the Refrigeration Institute said: "The IOR is a proud supporter of World Refrigeration Day as an initiative to raise the profile of the important contribution that refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pumps make globally so many aspects of modern life. From the medical sector to food supply and agriculture, through process engineering to data and information technologies, refrigeration technologies are essential and yet not widely recognized. Bringing the global community together to celebrate our success and achievements is largely part of the IOR's role in promoting the advancement of refrigeration technologies, and we look forward to working more closely with everyone who supports this great campaign."
