As Chief Product Officer Richard Hackney and Product Manager Darrin Brady shared last week, the 2019 AHR Expo at the ASHRAE Winter Conference showcased innovations and trends. Highlights included new sensor technology, plastic enclosures, and data collection among others. This week we recap the event from a different angle.<\/p>\n
One of the Kele team\u2019s favorite aspects of the Expo each year is to visit with our suppliers and find out what products are currently center stage, on the rise, or on the horizon. Kele carries many of these today and may add others in the future. Read below to see what some of our valued partners showcased.<\/p>\n
