Each year, we invite voices from across the HVACR community—associations, manufacturers, engineers, contractors, distributors, and thought leaders—to weigh in on the most pressing issues shaping our future. Their insights fuel our annual Trend Report, which serves as a key source of insight for the entire industry. Building on that research and the conversations we continue to foster as HVACR’s central hub, we’ve created the AHR Trending Topic Pages below. These pages are designed to keep you current on what the industry is talking about, showcase a range of expert viewpoints, and connect you with opportunities at the Show to dive deeper into each topic.
