IoR launches podcast channel

UK: A podcast channel exploring the critical issues facing the UK refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump sector is the latest feature to be introduced by the Institute of Refrigeration. 

The Tip of the Iceberg will contain news, views and insights from the business and engineering experts driving innovation and change in our sector.  

“The IoR network provides access to so many interesting people and ideas. I’m looking forward to having some in-depth discussions on some challenging topics,” commented the Institute’s CEO Miriam Rodway.

The first episode with Professor Graeme Maidment and new IoR trustee Catarina Marques was recorded live at the recent ASHRAE Winter Meeting in Las Vegas. During the interview, the pair shared what it’s like to be back at international events, what they learned there about motivation and collaboration, and why international problems like reducing the carbon impact of buildings, improving diversity, and addressing covid safety, will need international solutions and new ways of working.   

Future episodes of the IoR podcast will cover topics such as net zero supermarkets, reinventing refrigeration for the heat pump market and the changing role of the engineer.
