'The ACR Show 2014 provides a not to be missed opportunity for the trade and end users to see the latest technology and innovations, and catch up with important legal and commercial developments in the excellent seminar programme running alongside the show.'

The Institute of Refrigeration (IOR) is joining forces with the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Industry Board (ACRIB) to give an insight into the latest proposals to control the use of HFC refrigerants across the EU, and the implications for the industry.

Expert speakers from the Building and Engineering Services Association (B&ES) will give business briefings on important changes in legislation impacting the industry, including the latest air conditioning inspection requirements, opportunities for installers arising from The Green Deal, and clarifying the law around the phase-out of R22.

The latest developments in the application of high efficiency heat pumps will be presented by the Heat Pump Association (HPA), which will also give contractors advice on how to design and install systems to achieve greatest efficiency.
