EBC News

The first edition in our new newsletter format contains information about our research activities, a country focus article on the USA, as well as links to recent webinar recordings and publications. We hope you appreciate our new approach.

We are pleased to welcome Brazil and Turkey as two new EBC participating countries that have recently joined the collective research work of our programme. The lead organisation for Brazil is the Ministry of Mines and Energy, and for Turkey it is the Turkish Society of HVAC and Sanitary Engineers. We look forward to working closely with them and to advancing knowledge for our multi-lateral benefit.
