What FETA does
Here are some of the areas that FETA was involved in recently:
- FETA secured considerable funding from DTI to support the HEVACR 2005 productivity improvement programme for the sector until 2003
- The FMA (Fan Manufacturers' Association) guidance note on fan installation effects, the Humidity Group Code of Practice on cold water systems and the BFCMA supplementary explanation to Part J of the Building Regulations were but three of the significant publications released in 2001.
- The FETA marketing scholarships and HPA student awards were presented at the Annual Lunch in April, and the BRA trust for skills and training provided a range of additional awards to RAC (Refrigeration and Air Conditioning magazine) Student of the Year finalists in December.
- Market statistics for air conditioning, air distribution and refrigeration equipment continue to be compiled.
- International activity via the European Partnership for Energy & Environment.
- Seminars on key topics, such as the Pressure Equipment Directive and HEVACR 2005, were provided for both members and non-members.
