The nonprofit will follow the event with a CO2 controls training workshop in Stockton, California

The North American Sustainable Refrigeration Council (NASRC), a nonprofit working to advance climate-friendly refrigerants in supermarkets, has opened registration for its Natural Refrigerant Training Summit in Seattle, Washington, November 12 – 14, 2024. The free event is co-hosted with UA Local 32 and Seattle Area Pipe Trades and offers comprehensive training on the latest natural refrigerant technologies.

The three-day event is open to all refrigeration technicians and includes classroom and hands-on training sessions. On November 12, NASRC will welcome local HVACR students and faculty to network with event participants to increase exposure to natural refrigerant technologies and build industry connections.

“This event is back by popular demand, and we’re thrilled to bring it to the Pacific Northwest,” said Morgan Vanzo, NASRC senior director. “Technicians are the backbone of our industry, and training is a critical step towards building a sustainable technician workforce.”

The event will feature training from top refrigeration manufacturers and other industry experts on CO2 fundamentals, installation and maintenance, as well as propane self-contained cases and micro-distributed systems.

NASRC will also host a free CO2 controls workshop in Stockton, California, December 4 – 5, 2024.
