USA: The Air-conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) is to host a free-to-attend webinar on the US HFC phase down.

The AHRI invites original equipment manufacturers and retailers to join the webinar on April 20, (12.00pm to 1.30pm EDT) to learn industry best practices in preparation for a smooth HFC transition.
