World Refrigeration Day 2024

Today is World Refrigeration Day, incorporating World Heatpumps Day.

World Refrigeration Air-Conditioning, and Heat-Pump Day is June 26th, this year and every year.  Refrigeration, Air-conditioning and Heat-pumps have a vital role in modern life helping to promote health, comfort, environmental sustainability and economic prosperity.  June 26th is an opportunity for those within and outside the #RACHP industry to come together to learn, share knowledge, build connections and find opportunities to collaborate to improve modern life.

This year’s WRD focuses on the theme Temperature Matters to underscore the profound impact of the refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump industry on indoor environmental quality, extending beyond cooling and heating.

The day is celebrated by industries and their associations around the world, focusing on ‘looking outwards’ to demonstrate the influence to the public and to decision makers outside of the industry. Last year saw around ten thousand events taking place internationally.

This year marks the bicentenary of Lord Kelvin, a pioneer in thermodynamics, known for the absolute temperature scale. The theme ‘Temperature Matters’ pays homage to his legacy, highlighting the essential role temperature regulation plays in society.
