Last month at AHR Expo 2018 in Chicago, HPAC Engineering's Rob McManamy chatted with Kevin McNamara, SVP for Air Conditioning Technologies at LG Electronics USA.

But there is a natural learning curve, too, so McNamara here pushes for greater industry education. "Education, not just training," he says. "Because education sticks."
