                  HVACR Leadership Awards
  Let’s get virtual at CCN Live 2021
THIS YEAR’S CCN Live conference will once again be a virtual event.
The decision was made in response to the cur- rent COVID-19 pandemic.
Sponsored by Refrigerants Australia, CCN Live will be held on Friday, 5 November, and the conference theme remains the same – Unlocking the cold chain.
Speakers include the logistics, quality & envi- ronment leader for the dairy & drinks division at Bega, Adam Wade, who will present a case study on reducing waste in the cold chain.
The keynote presentation will be delivered by Mark Barthel, the special advisor for food waste at the Fight Food Waste CRC.
In his CRC role, Barthel leads the development of innovative food waste reduction and transfor- mation projects.
A presentation by Australian Food Cold Chain Council chair, Mark Mitchell, will ex- amine the specific challenges faced by Aus- tralian industry.
He will provide a technical overview of cold chain data, standards and technologies needed to address global challenges in the food system.

ENERGY SAVINGS AND SUSTAINABILITY
This award recognises excellence in sustainabil- ity and energy savings. Sponsored by Alfa Laval, it will be presented to a professional that has de- livered outstanding achievement in a project showcasing energy efficiency. There are four fi- nalists competing for this award.
Richard Popovski is proud of his work with natural refrigerants. As the director of the REF- CA Group he provides energy efficient solutions to large retail companies, processing plants, wineries and cold storage facilities. He has ac- creditation in hydrocarbons and CO2 refrigera- tion but more importantly, has logged project data showing energy savings of 35 per cent.
Iain Stewart is the creator of Plantscore, soft- ware that allows building owners to squeeze the last remaining efficiency out of their cen- tralised chilled water plants. Iain says these ef- ficiencies were previously impossible to find without the data-driven machine learning ap- proach adopted by PlantScore. At Queensland Children’s Hospital Iain has achieved savings of $75,000 per annum.
Julian Hudson is managing director & techni- cal director of Glaciem Cooling Technologies and the man behind three large scale projects all incorporating thermal storage and natural re- frigerant systems. Prior to leading Glaciem, Ju- lian was an independent refrigeration consult- ant specialising in CO2 & NH3 plant design. He was also engineering manager at BITZER for al- most five years.
Peter Collins has been in the HVACR industry for more than 25 years and is passionate about energy efficiency. He has an impressive resume solving energy waste problems and using action- able data to make an impact with customers. Calling himself an energy specialist, Peter uses energy & asset monitoring software to trans- form businesses.
