The Radiant Panel Association (RPA) will join the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) and the Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA) for the 2011 Indoor Air Expo. The three organizations announced that their annual meetings will be held jointly with the February 15-17 show in San Antonio, Texas.
"The Indoor Air Expo has grown significantly since ACCA and IAQA have joined together,” said Paul T. Stalknecht, ACCA President & CEO. “Adding RPA just made sense, because we are creating the biggest source of education, networking, and learning opportunities available for all of our members. We are thrilled about expanding the expo and having so many contractors, suppliers, and manufacturers in one place at one time."
"We are thrilled to have RPA partner with IAQA and ACCA for the 2011 Indoor Air Expo in San Antonio,” added Glenn Fellman, IAQA Executive Director. “As our society turns to innovative and alternative sources of heating and cooling, the effect of those building systems on indoor air quality has to be factored into the equation. IAQA members will benefit by learning about radiant panel products, and RPA members will benefit by learning about indoor environmental issues. It's a win-win-win partnership for everyone."
Ted Lowe, RPA Executive Director, said, "RPA is enthusiastic about the new business and networking opportunities presented by our co-location with ACCA and IAQA. We anticipate that the synergies created by this unique conference will be felt throughout the HVAC industry for years to come."
ACCA is the nationwide non-profit trade association representing the business, technical, and policy interests of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration contracting businesses. IAQA is a non-profit professional organization dedicated to the exchange of indoor environmental information through education and research. RPA is a non-profit national association representing manufacturers, distributors, designers, dealers, and installers of radiant panel heating and cooling systems and components.
