Environment, Efficiency and Net Zero in RACHP

ACRIB member organisations are co-ordinating the work to support improvements in efficiency and reduction of environmental impact of refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump equipment in all of the essential applications where cooling is necessary - such as food distribution, production and service, manufacturing processes, building services, transportation and environmental control of datacentres and IT. 

You can find out more about the initiatives which member organisations support from the links below:

A project on Transport Industrial Commercial Refrigeration emissions research and guidance for users is currently being undertaken by London South Bank University and partners on behalf of Department for Energy Security and Net Zero  www.netzerorefrigeration.uk
