World Refrigeration Day celebrates the people and technologies responsible for creating and maintaining the world we live in, a world dependent upon temperature-controlled environments. Centred around June 26, the event is supported globally by industry, professional groups, scientific and engineering associations, as well as by governments and individuals.

World Refrigeration Day Announces Theme of 2023 Campaign

Titled ‘Next Generation Cooling’, the WRD 23 campaign will focus on the future of cooling technology, the industry, the people working within it, and those that benefit from cooling.  Building upon last year’s theme ‘Cooling Matters’, this year’s campaign will look forward with the aim of raising awareness of how the modern cooling industry is adapting and evolving to meet the challenges and opportunities the sector faces providing the increasing demand for low carbon cooling and heating solutions in a warming climate.

Next generation cooling is important because it can help reduce the energy consumption and carbon emissions of cooling systems, which are becoming more widely used as the world gets hotter and more humid.  For example, according to the International Energy Agency, air conditioners account for nearly 20% of the total electricity used in buildings around the world today, and their use is set to soar over the next three decades, becoming one of the top drivers of global electricity demand.

“The future of Cooling is in our hands”

Supporting the next generation cooling solutions is of course the workforce; the people working within the sector. “As an industry, we need to recruit, train and retain people equipped with the knowledge and skills that a modern, forward-thinking industry requires” explains   Stephen Gill, founder of World Refrigeration Day. Gill continues “Just as no-one will expect the cooling solutions we supply in the future to be the same as those from the past, no-one should expect the workforce to be the same either.  This year’s campaign is an opportunity to showcase what we are doing now to ensure we have the diverse and highly skilled workforce that our sector needs for the future”.

The future is in our hands. Next Generation Cooling will tell the story of how our wellbeing depends upon sustainable cooling (and heating) and how cooling technology choices and an evolving industry can safeguard the well-being of future generations. It provides an opportunity to show the world the forward thinking industry that we are and the steps we are taking to meet the challenges of providing cooling in a low carbon future. We encourage the whole refrigeration, air-conditioning, and heat-pump industry to join us in celebrating World Refrigeration Day 2023.

IOR mini

World Refrigeration Day with the IOR

Monday 26th June 2023

Join the IOR in celebrating World Refrigeration Day with a series of events that showcase the industry

This year's theme is #NextGenCooling - this will require engineers and researchers to push innovation and technology forward, so the IOR is looking to the future with members sharing how they are promoting careers, alongside profiles and interviews with apprentices. We are also getting technical with some talks on fun themes like “Why you should clean your condenser on World Refrigeration Day”, and finding out what can we learn from some of the big names of the past like William Rankine and Lord Kelvin. 

Sign up now for our webinars or follow us on social media with clips released throughout the day using #IORWRD23 on the 26th June.

Programme

10:00 am Clean your condenser on World Refrigeration Day

Register here

A live webinar with IOR members Lawrence Leask and Dermot Cotter. This webinar is looking at one of the biggest contributors to excess energy use in refrigeration systems. If you really want to make an impact you should Clean your Condenser on World Refrigeration Day!

Talks 
  • The Impact of Dirty Coils, Lawrence Leask MInstR
  • Low Power Consumption with Effective Condensers, Dermot Cotter FInstR

12:00 pm midday The Life and Legacy of William Rankine 

Register here 

A talk by Physicist and TV Broadcaster Helen Czerski reminds us of what we can learn from the achievements of the past.  This presentation was first broadcast as part of the William Rankine Memorial event.

2:00 pm Why STEM? The Search for the Next Generation 

Register here

We talk about getting the message out into schools and careers fairs. How members are inspiring young people with stories about their career in cooling and switching them on to science and engineering. 

4:00 pm Apprenticeships For Success

Register here

A conversation with Gemma Weston, Luke Haile and Ellie Clare,  All previous finalists in IOR and RAC Cooling Awards Student of the Year. They discuss the value of apprenticeships for those new to the industry and their employers. This interview was first broadcast as part Cool Careers Celebration in 2021.

Throughout the day we will be adding short videos to our linkedin, facebook, twitter and Instagram channels showing members using the new IOR STEM ToolKits.
