However, as one event is consigned to memory, the next is rapidly approaching. Covid restrictions forced us to change our usual awards night from January to October, so as we move back towards normality, the 2022 NACRHP awards will take place on June 9 at The Queens Hotel, Leeds. The entry deadline of March 25 is nearly upon us, so please remember to submit your entries. In this issue, Leanne Gill of Finn Geotherm features in our very popular Women in ACR. We also have some fantastic refrigerant features from A-Gas and Climalife, and Matt Wegner explains why recovering waste heat from data centres is at the forefront of London South Bank University’s research.
