IoR updates REAL Zero material

realzero-logoUK: The IoR REAL Zero and REAL Skills materials have now been updated in line with the 2015 F-gas regulations.

REAL Zero is a series of resources, initiated in the UK by the Institute of Refrigeration to investigate the causes of and solutions to refrigerant leakage, against the background of the EU F-gas regulations. It brings together expertise across sectors, and EU Countries and provided practical guidance, tools and e-learning (REAL Skills).

The REAL Zero concepts were recently adapted into an e-learning programme for low GWP alternative refrigerants (carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrocarbon and new low flammables HFOs and R32).

The updated REAL Zero e-learning programme is free for IoR members when it reopens later this month. Those who are interested can register here
