IRHACE May Update

Promoting the HVAC&R industry on a Melbourne tram is a brilliant idea. It’s a dynamic and eyecatching way to showcase the importance of climate control systems in our daily lives. Let’s keep the momentum going and spread awareness about the indispensable contributions of this industry!

In this issue IRHACE shares insights on the recent XPO exhibitor seminar on Selling in the New Economy, a safety warning from RLNZ on illegal recovery bottles, AIRAH announce their Indoor Air Quality Conference and the countdown is now on for the industry event of the year – HVAC&R Hub 2024.

Whilst some of us may be making the trip across the Tasman to ARBS in Sydney in May, the HVAC&R Hub in June gives everyone in New Zealand the opportunity to see the latest in heating, cooling, ventilation and air quality technologies all under one roof at the Auckland Showgrounds. The event is free to attend and the speaker line up will be sharing the latest information from the industry.

Our IRHACE members are enjoying the release of the CPD programme. CPD is accepted across a wide range of professions as the primary means of developing and maintaining professional standards of competency and excellence.

CCCANZ member companies are being presented across New Zealand with their 10-year service awards. This is a great achievement, and we congratulate these companies on their tenure and their continued support for our industry.

We eagerly await the results of the first WorldSkills competition that had our apprentice represent New Zealand in earlier this month in Melbourne. Watch our social media channels for photos and their blog. The main event for WorldSkills is in France in September this year.
