Last Updated 26 February 2015, 20:03 IST

The Indian Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ISHRAE) in association with American Society of Heating will launch a training programme to tackle shortage of trained manpower in the air-condition industry.

“Certificates will be issued to students after they appear for an examination. This will be a part of the National Skill Development Corporation of the Government of India. After the Centre approves this mechanism, all private companies will hire certified professionals,” ISHRAE National President D Nirmal Ram said.

He was speaking to Deccan Herald on the sidelines of the inauguration of three-day Acrex 2015 B2B exhibition in Bengaluru on Thursday. Top 50 international and national companies participating in the exhibition have agreed to the idea. Ram said ISHRAE will submit a proposal to the Union Ministry of Environment and Forest seeking a standard refrigeration mechanism to ensure that the manufacturers and consumers are not put into confusion.“Presently, there are different types of refrigerant mechanisms and there are no experts to maintain them. This is also affecting the ozone layer,” he said.
