Registration and housing is now open for the world’s largest and most comprehensive HVAC/R exposition, the 2010 AHR Expo. Celebrating its 62nd year, the show returns for the first time in five years to the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla., Jan. 25-27, 2010.

The 2010 AHR Expo will provide the more than 45,000 expected attendees and exhibitor personnel from more than 120 countries around the world the opportunity to see the newest innovations on display from nearly 1,700 exhibitors representing every segment of the HVAC/R industry.

As the economy recovers, the pace of new technology coming to market and the push for green buildings, the need to be more knowledgeable on the latest industry best-practices has never been greater, say show organizers. To address these critical issues, the show will have more than 100 educational sessions, workshops and product presentations, many of them free to all attendees.

Some important topics that will be covered include:

Energy Efficiency
Indoor Air Quality
Energy Saving and Reclaiming

Expanded pavilions will provide professionals important insights into the constantly changing industry. Additionally, many exhibitors will showcase advancements in Green technologies, as well as emerging segments of the HVAC/R marketplace.

Innovative new products will be showcased in nine different categories at the 2010 AHR Expo New Product Technology Theater, including:

Building Automation & Control
Cooling
Heating
Indoor Air Quality
Machinery
Plumbing
Refrigeration
Software
Tools & Instruments
Ventilation
Miscellaneous

With the increase of sustainable products into the marketplace, the AHR Expo will once again award qualified exhibitors a “Green Product” designation at the 2010 show. All exhibiting companies who complete the ‘Green Product Recognition’ form and meet the requirements will be provided with a special sign to display in their booth. The designation will help to emphasize the important role played by exhibitors in creating green, sustainable products.

“As a leading information resource for the HVAC/R industry, it is critical that the AHR Expo keep its attendees on the cutting edge of the latest ‘green’ products and issues,” said Clay Stevens, president of International Exposition Co., which produces and manages the AHR Expo.

In addition, the 2010 AHR Expo will include special show features attendees have come to expect from the event. Among these features are Building Automation and Control Showcase; AHR Expo Innovation Awards Presentation Ceremony; and Zero Energy Building Display by the Department of Energy.
