CONFERENCE AIMS

THE VERY LATEST TECHNOLOGIES IN REFRIGERATION AND AIR CONDITIONING: A GLOBAL
RESPONSE TO THE GLOBAL CRISIS.
Leading experts from all over the world are meeting in the 13th European Conference to present their technological solutions.

OBJECTIVES OF THE 13th EUROPEAN CONFERENCE:
the relationship between climate change and energy saving influences new technologies in refrigeration and air conditioning.

The 12th European conference, two years ago, identified how the issue of climate change directly influences the design and the structure of refrigeration and air conditioning plans.

Nowadays, with major changes at a global level in all sectors and also there is unlikely to be a short-term solution to the market crises. Since refrigeration and air-conditioning are part of this, it is imperative to optimise energy saving.

Regarding the climate issues we are facing, the latest technologies in refrigeration and air-conditioning tend to use new fluids and new components which are environmentally friendly.

On this topic, during our conference leading experts from all over the world will present to us their researches and findings over several sessions and a targeted discussion session.

With regards to energy saving which these days is very much related to the ‘environmentally friendly’ technologies, it has become more important than ever that this concept is understood at a psychological level in order to be projected, in accordance with today’s strong expectations, into the plans that are being produced.

The special international issue and the presentation of the XIII European Conference inside it, has been distributed

TO ALL MINISTERS AND HEADS OF STATES OF 180 GOVERNMENTS WHO SIGNED THE KYOTO PROTOCOL,

in collaboration also with the most important international experts, who will also participate to the XIII European Conference.

The XIII European Conference has set itself the task of achieving and highlighting all the aspects and the latest technologies in refrigeration and air conditioning by carrying out a careful panoramic examination of trends in the specific new technologies in refrigeration and air conditioning in order to overcome current problems.

Participants in the XIII European Conference face important decisions related to restructuring and renewing the activity / production of the business – also in marketing - in order to win against the current competition both in reference to energy problems and climate changes.

This is the aim of the debates and presentations that will take place during the conference. These will be chaired by the most renowned worldwide scientific experts in the sector representing important Associations, Organisations, Universities, Institutions and major Firms. All participants in the Conference are welcome to intervene in the debates. (click here to download the Special International Issue)
