Call to help the IoR identify the skills for net-zero cooling

Would you like to join an IOR working Group to identify what are the key skills and areas of knowledge needed to support the move towards Net-Zero? The IOR’s Beyond Refrigeration Net Zero initiative identified seven overall issues that our sector needs to address including integrating heating and cooling, using energy intelligently, getting the best out of new technologies and whole system sustainability.

 The new Working Group will be developing a Skills Specification that could be used by end-users and those working directly in the sector to identify areas of underpinning knowledge, practical skills and key behaviours required to support a move to net zero. The specification could be used as a tool for skills audits, identifying training needs and as a syllabus for future training in design, operation, and management of low carbon cooling.  

If you have an interest in this area and would like to contribute to this work, please contact ior@ior.org.uk to receive an invite to a Working Group online meeting in January to explain more.
