USA: Parker Hannifin and Daikin were the big winners in a unique competition designed to raise the level of awareness of the HVACR industry both in school and government.
The Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute’s Chairman’s Challenge encourages companies to host guided tours for elected officials and to conduct visits to schools with HVACR programmes, thus promoting the industry from both legislative and educational standpoints.
The four winners of the 2016 AHRI Chairman’s Challenge were announced during the Institute’s recent annual meeting.
