Under a new agreement, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers Inc. (ASHRAE) and the Global Cold Chain Alliance will work together in a strategic partnership to advance and promote the mutual interests of refrigeration and facility professionals.
Potential collaborative efforts include development of a refrigerated warehouse guide, updating the existing refrigeration warehouse chapter and other guidance in the ASHRAE Handbook, Refrigeration, and co-sponsoring of research related to refrigeration.
"ASHRAE's involvement in refrigeration began more than 100 years ago, and since that time, the society has been a strong link in the cold chain through our research, education and other technical information," Bill Harrison, ASHRAE president, said.
"Through our agreement with the Global Cold Chain Alliance, we will strive to revitalize refrigeration to better serve the needs of the world. Working together, we must seek the best in refrigerants, efficiency, cost reduction, reliability and energy utilization," Harrison said.
"This signed agreement for strategic partnership between the Global Cold Chain Alliance and ASHRAE is an example of the strength of an industry addressing the challenges of a safe and efficient cold chain around the world," Bill Hudson, president and CEO of the Global Cold Chain Alliance, said.
"ASHRAE members represent a key element in the success of this initiative," Hudson said.
