WELCOME TO THE ARBS 2010 SEMINAR PROGRAM

Industry, sharpen your pencils!  Climate concerns, new government regulations, new industry directives, new energy efficiency technologies and applications, higher consumer demands, increased competition and greater professional accountability are behind an unprecedented change in HVAC & R and related industries.

SUSTAINABILITY IS NOW MAINSTREAM

HVAC & R and system controls are inextricably linked with building performance, energy consumption, costs, GHG emissions, at all stages of a facility lifecycle. Very few who supply, design, install, manage and maintain HVAC & R systems will not be affected by change.

Stay ahead of the competition, better your professional service and reputation, improve proficiency and save time and money. Be at the forefront of change and better position yourself and your company for the future at ARBS 2010, a once every two year opportunity.

Don’t miss out. Over 50 international and national experts will present at more than 40 thought-provoking and practical seminars to help you meet challenges head-on.

Note: You must be registered to attend the exhibition prior to registering for the seminars.  You will be required to enter your registration number during the seminar booking process.  Please have it on hand to facilitate your booking.
