World Refrigeration Day

June 26, 2020

ASHRAE has joined with associations and societies around the world in pledging support for World Refrigeration Day 2020 on June 26.

Called the “Coolest Day of the Year,” World Refrigeration Day is an international awareness campaign created to raise the profile of the refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat-pump sector and focuses attention on the significant role that the industry and its technology play in modern life and society. This year’s theme will be Cold Chain 4 Life.

“Since 1904, ASHRAE’s contributions to refrigeration research and technology continue to advance the cold chain industry and benefit the public in profound ways,” said 2019-20 ASHRAE President Darryl K. Boyce, P.Eng. “We are proud to partner with other global organizations to support World Refrigeration Day, in this its second year, as we celebrate refrigeration’s vital role to the modern world.”

World Refrigeration Day (WRD) raises awareness about refrigeration and air-conditioning and their contribution to modern life. The date of the celebration is always on June the 26th, the birth date of Lord Kelvin, for whom the Absolute temperature Kelvin Scale is named.
