Companies from Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe take us on a virtual tour to their ozone- and climate-friendly RAC systems. In an interactive webinar and video series between 27 April and 18 May, experts will report on their experience of various applications based on ammonia, propane, CO2 and isobutane.
There are many impressive Green Cooling solutions available
There are many impressive Green Cooling solutions available in the world and we all agree that the best thing is to see them live on site. Our virtual programme is at least as good! With this first virtual Technology Roadshow, we want to bring the best cooling technologies to your home, office, or wherever you are!
From a ministry to the logistics company to the seller of air conditioning units, all are currently preparing short videos showing their green RAC systems as if you were just visiting. Their videos will be published here. But that's not all, of course!
You can get in touch with the participating companies via a series of online events. In short vivid expert talks we will ask them about specialties, benefits and challenges. You want to know even more? This is your chance! Here is enough room for your individual questions!

First stop: Ozone- and climate-friendly Cooling Systems in Germany
Before we set off on our virtual journey to Latin America and the Carribean, we start with a few contributions from Germany. In this first event, you can expect a colourful mix of different cooling technologies and experiences.
One of them are the new GIZ office buildings in Bonn, Germany. These are equipped with CO2 and propane based air-conditioning systems. The director of GIZ building services will talk about the planning and implementation of this ambitious pilot project.
In addition, you can expect experts on the subject of solar cooling and propane in commercial refrigeration. Stay tuned!
