The Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA) does not necessarily hold a convention. It’s more like a vacation, revival, celebration, social happening, and learning experience all rolled into one.
The idea that mold has become a moldy discussion topic was not the conclusion drawn by any of the presenters at the 2003 MCAA convention session titled, “Mold: What Contractors Need To Know.”
If you listened carefully to what was being said by exhibitors in the designated Building Automation and Control Showcase area at the 2003 AHR Expo, chances are the words “interoperability” and “open system” cropped up sooner or later.
Vast improvements in evaporative cooling and heat transfer equipment were showcased at the 2003 Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition (AHR Expo).
After McCormick Place closed its doors at the conclusion of opening day of the 2003 AHR Expo, Carrier Corporation opened its doors at the nearby Four Seasons Hotel to host a gathering for its customers.
If numbers do not lie, there’s no doubt that the 2003 AHR Expo was a record-setter in both attendance and exhibitors present. The real question is, though, was there quality in the record numbers? It depended upon whom you asked, but there appeared to be more positive than negative replies from those manning the booths, as well as those walking the aisles.
It’s tempting. Oh, so tempting. When the Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition is played out at the Anaheim Convention Center in late January next year, one of the items this editor-in-chief should bring is a megaphone.
In the very first issue of The News for 2002, I passed along in this editorial space three wishes for the year. Is there a chance any of them will come true?
While trying to come up with a creative definition for the word “hippiater”(which happens to be another name for a horse doctor), it hit me like a ton of bricks. Why not have an HVACR version of the game Balderdash?
