ACCA’s Louis Fuentes Educates State Energy Officials on Workforce Needs and Safety
Arlington, VA (September 18, 2019) – The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) announces its involvement in the National Association of State Energy Officials Annual Meeting on September 17, 2019.
ACCA Board Member, and President of California based HVAC company, Air Conditioning Guys, Louis Fuentes represented contractors at the NASEO event to help our nation’s energy officials learn more about the workforce needs of HVAC professionals, and why state energy officials should invest in quality installation training programs that help raise the bar in the contracting industry.
“It’s important for our nation’s energy officials to take part in helping address the workforce challenges facing contractors,” says Fuentes. “The HVACR industry needs to ensure that our workers are well-educated and highly skilled. The products we design, install, and maintain are complex mechanical systems that consume significant amounts of energy and use hazardous or toxic chemicals.
Helping our Nation
ACCA encourages policy makers across the country to follow in President Trump’s footsteps highlighting the contributions skilled workers make to our economy. His focus on the skilled trades is having an impact and ACCA is proud to support his Administration’s initiatives.”
Louis spoke with Mary Nichols, Chair of the California Air Resources Board at the conference. As did Andrew McAllister, the California Energy Commissioner about California’s rush to phase out HFC refrigerants and the dangers of a state-by-state approach.
Board member Fuentes highlighted that ACCA is working on a national phase out that will ensure uniform phaseout schedules regulatory certainty, with an emphasis on safety and contractor education programs.
