The Refrigerants, Naturally! for LIFE project (RefNat4LIFE) aims to promote the uptake of climate-friendly cooling alternatives among end users of refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat pump (RACHP) equipment and servicing providers throughout Europe.
RefNat4LIFE will be offering two self-paced online e-learning courses, one for owners of small food retail shops, and one for RACHP technicians.
What is the right choice for cooling equipment in times of global warming?
These courses will provide information on not only the opportunities, but also the threats associated with RACHP equipment. The topics of legal provisions, alternative cooling systems and the energy saving potential of energy efficient technology will also be explored. The courses are an introduction to the topic of climate change and the role of the food retail sector. An overview of the political framework, climate-friendly technical solutions already available on the market and approaches towards sustainable stores will be provided.
