Accelerate America magazine recognizes manufacturers, end users and a utility executive who are making a difference to natural refrigerant adoption.
In its November-December issue, published online last week, Accelerate America names 25 people who have played a critical role in advancing the adoption of natural refrigerant-based systems in North America.
The list is divided into the following categories: original equipment manufacturers, component manufacturers, end users (food retail, industrial and foodservice) and one utility. The individuals on the list are not ranked.
Among the criteria for selection: attendance and participation at industry events, conferences and trade shows; participation on industry committees; focus on natural refrigerants, as opposed to other refrigerant options; one person per organization.
