AHR Expo 2020 Sessions Cover NatRefs, Energy Efficiency and More

The 2020 AHR Expo, a leading trade show for the HVAC&R industry that will take place Feb 3-5 in Orlando, Florida, has announced its full schedule of sessions for the 2020 Education Program, including more than 200 free seminars, new product and technology presentations, professional certifications and continuing education courses. Many sessions pertain to natural refrigerants, energy efficiency and enhanced controls.

This year, the AHR Expo will add a series of HVAC&R trend discussions led by members of the AHR Expo Expert Council. 

“The development of our session schedule is ongoing, and we take careful consideration of discussions happening across the industry to identify pain points, opportunities, trends, etc. where we might offer support and solutions through dedicated sessions,” said Mark Stevens, AHR Expo Show Manager.

AHR Expo is co-sponsored by ASHRAE and AHRI, and is held concurrently with ASHRAE’s Winter Conference. 

The following is a list of sessions grouped by natural and low-GWP refrigerants, energy efficiency, controls and connectivity, training and recruiting, and other.
