Skilled refrigeration and air conditioning technology workers in Iran























Statements from the participants

"As a mechanical expert in the field of HVAC (editor's note: heating, ventilation and air conditioning), I am here to be trained how to phase out the use of environmentally harmful refrigerants and replace them by more environmentally friendly refrigerants such as natural refrigerants."
Babak Kamkari, Iranian Construction Engineering Organization (IRCEO)
"To form a bond between industry and the training system in Iran on the one hand, and between the German industry and training system with that of Iran on the other hand in order to transfer the high-tech knowledge to the trainees who need this sort of information. To see the news tools and infrastructures, teaching materials and lay-out of the workshops to organize such a workshop in our country."
Maziyar Moosavi, Technical and Vocational Training Organization (TVTO)

"It was at lease twice as good as I expected. The information we were given was very useful."
Mohammad Ali Kazemi, Technical and Vocational University (TVU)
"My expectations have been fulfilled. The scheduled program covers both theoretical and practical classes that provide me with in-depth knowledge on working with new refrigerants."
Babak Kamkari, Iranian Construction Engineering Organization (IRCEO)

"Hopefully by establishing the "Climate Competence Academy" in Iran in order to control impacts of refrigeration and AC (editor's note: air conditioning) systems on the environment by:
a. training and certifying required technicians
b. preparing legislative procedures for passing new laws
c. consulting/cooperation with official authorities for the implementation of new regulations"
Seyed Ali Akbar Fahrhad Ghafoori, Mohammad Reza Kavin

"I was impressed by the regulations and the discipline in Germany. I hope that I will be able to visit Germany again in the near future."
Mohammad Ali Kazemi, Technical and Vocational University (TVU)
"No pollution in an advanced country based on an appropriate legislation and its execution – this is what I really like. I am also surprised that the recycling rate in Germany is so high and that the portion of renewable energy is much higher than in other countries. I am astonished that so many people observe the rules."
Taheri Asl Ahmad Reza, Iranian Construction Engineering Organization (IRCEO)
