The 14th event in this prestigious conference series, the next IIR-Gustav Lorentzen Conference is set to take place from December 6 to December 9, 2020, at the International Conference centre of Kyoto, Japan. It will be organised by the Japan Society of Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (JSRAE).
