ASHRAE members invited to join IoR

 

UK/USA: As part of last year’s agreement for close links, ASHRAE members have been invited to join the UK’s Institute of Refrigeration at a special discounted partner rate.

Last year, ASHRAE and the IoR signed a new memorandum of understanding, with the promise to work together more closely and to further and promote advancements in cooling and heating technologies.

As a benefit of this alignment, ASHRAE members have now been invited to join the IoR as an eAffiliate member with a special discounted partner membership fee of just £20.00 (around $25.00)

The eAffiliate membership subscription includes access to more than 300 technical bulletins on refrigeration topics downloadable from the IoR website, including safety codes of practice and new refrigerant eLearning and training materials.

ASHRAE’s eAffiliate’s will also be able to participate in professional development technical webinars, as well as receiving regular news and updates on refrigerant developments from IOR.
