"We are pleased to award scholarships to these qualified and dedicated students, and we look forward to welcoming them into the industry,” said Stephen Yurek, CEO and president, AHRI.
Leaders of the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) issued a letter to the leadership of the House and Senate energy committees seeking support for legislation (H.R. 7962/S. 4061) that would amend the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) to clarify the definitions of residential and commercial water heaters.
'Failure to ratify would close these markets to U.S. manufacturers after 2023 because the Montreal Protocol prohibits trade with countries not party to [it] or its amendments,' noted the letter.
Since its founding in 2003, the Rees Scholarship Foundation has awarded more than $1 million in scholarships to 643 deserving students and instructors.
The HVACR industry is unique in that it is made up of professionals from many different sectors. And while we all ultimately address the same goals, the everyday disciplines and practices often look very different. It is with this in mind that the AHR Expo, in conjunction with ASHRAE; Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI); and several other organizations, created the Industry Trend Report in 2020 to provide a thoughtful connection point for HVACR audiences.
