Had such a great time and I was very impressed with what we got to see! #refrigeration #testo

As we continue to honor the incredible women in the HVAC&R industry, we are excited to share another inspiring testimonial from a leader who has made a significant impact in our field. At General Refrigeration SA, we believe in amplifying the voices of women who are driving innovation and excellence in this sector. 💬 Testimonial Highlight: "Since my earliest childhood memories, I have always been surrounded by engineers and technicians of refrigeration, and now I realize how fortunate I have been. After graduating from university with an economics degree, I started working in the refrigeration and air-conditioning business, firstly in sales and administration. However, progressively, I became fascinated by both the simplicity and efficiency of a cooling circuit, the fundamental physical laws of thermodynamics, and the amazing technology that human ingenuity has produced since the time of Newton and Fourier. My keen interest in cooling systems led me to specialize in dehumidification, a technology crucial in production procedures that require rigorous control of humidity levels. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to follow the evolution of HVAC technology up close and to contribute to innovative projects, such as providing low dew point conditions for special applications, leading to both professional and personal growth. Refrigeration, albeit male-dominated, is a unique industry to be in. Our work significantly contributes to the safety, wellbeing, and comfort of the global population. I firmly believe that women are perfectly suited to fulfill any role within the RAC industry. Along with their solid training and hard skills, women are unique in their ability to lead, mentor, and inspire, to communicate and collaborate with their colleagues and customers. Their sensitivity and honesty shape an exceptional work ethic, and thanks to their multitasking skills, women are naturally cool—I couldn’t help the pun. Thus, I highly recommend women to join the RAC sector where there are many opportunities to pursue a challenging and rewarding career." This testimonial from PENY SITARIDOU, CEO of DRYHELLAS which specialises in climate solutions applications, beautifully captures the passion, dedication, and expertise that women bring to the HVAC&R industry. Let’s continue to support and encourage women to explore the many opportunities in HVAC&R, and together, we can build a more innovative industry.

At General Refrigeration SA, we're proud to be a sponsor of World Refrigeration Day, which automatically includes our support for the Women in Cooling & Heating Network and World Heat Pumps Day. Today, we want to shine a spotlight on the incredible contributions of women in our sector. As we continue to push boundaries and innovate, the role of women in engineering and HVAC&R is more critical than ever. 💬 Testimonial Highlight: "Engineering is a particular profession to follow as it suits someone with an appetite for better understanding the world around you and your need for new challenges. HVAC&R was always a very attractive field for me, offering involvement in a variety of everyday and critical applications. Over the past 13 years, I've experienced several projects that met my expectations for a compensating and evolving career. Being a woman in this male-dominated sector could imply all the stereotypes, but I am glad to observe that a long way has been covered towards the inclusion of women in the HVAC&R industry. We've built self-confidence, and the belief that skills, motivation, and teamwork are all that matters. Corporate cultures have changed, and our male colleagues now look up to us as reliable, skillful, and creative contributors. What’s really remarkable is to recognize that women are great at supporting each other. Personally, I find honest pleasure in being part of Women in ASHRAE (WIA) and serving as chair of the WIA Committee of the Hellenic Chapter. Feel free to join us!" This powerful message from Iliana Georgakakou speaks volumes about the progress we've made and the work still ahead. At General Refrigeration SA, we're committed to fostering an environment where everyone, regardless of gender, can thrive and contribute. 🙏 Special Thanks: We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Stephen Gill for his tireless efforts in advancing these important initiatives. Join us in celebrating the remarkable women in HVAC&R, and let's continue to break down barriers together! #WorldRefrigerationDay #INVWIC #WomenInEngineering #HVACR #Inclusion #Diversity #EngineeringExcellence #WomenInSTEM #GeneralRefrigerationSA

Extreme heat is quickly intensifying making it the biggest killer among climate-driven disasters. However, the scale and seriousness of the threat are hard to communicate visually. How can photographers and videographers accurately portray extreme heat as the serious threat to life and health that it is? As global heat records continue to fall, join Climate Resilience for All, Climate Visuals, and photographers for an online discussion about how to more effectively tell the story of accelerating heat extremes and the people they impact. 📅 Wednesday, August 21 🕘 9am EDT (2pm BST / 6.30pm IST) 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e6JWz-Mu #ExtremeHeat #HeatWaves #ClimateCrisis #ClimateResilience #Photography #Videography #ClimateVisuals

Exactly a month ago, on 26 June, in celebration of World Refrigeration Day® incorporating World Heatpumps Day 2024, CAREL employees participated in the "Every degree counts" initiative, organised by the Group to raise awareness about global temperature increases. By raising the thermostat by 2 degrees in all buildings at the Brugine Headquarters, excluding production areas, 640 kWh of energy were saved in a single day, preventing the emission of 293 kg of CO2. This energy saving is equivalent to the emissions from a petrol car travelling approximately 5,000 km. Today, one month after the event, we reflect on the results and impact of this initiative that is part of CAREL's broader sustainability plan.

World Cold Chain Symposium  - October 26 - Bangkok, Thailand. To ensure the success of a sustainable cold chain, many differing factors need to coalesce. The contributions from local communities, the private sectors, non- governmental organizations and the government are all equally important in connecting the dots to create a cold chain system. To explore this idea, the theme for this year’s World Cold Chain Symposium is Building a Sustainable Cold Chain.   Join the Global Food Cold Chain Council, the United Nations Environment Program’s OzonAction , the Cool Coalition, Carrier and experts from around the world as we come together for an in-person and virtual event focused on the benefits of funding efficient and sustainable cold chain development programs and successes to date. SAVE THE DATE: more details to follow. #coldchain #GFCCC #Carrier
