🔍 Did you know?

The first-ever IOR paper, presented in 1901, focused on experiments into the thermal conductivity of insulation materials for cold stores. Some of the materials investigated included peat, charcoal, silicate cotton and sawdust!

This is just one of the many fascinating stories you'll discover in the new IOR Coffee Table Book.

Filled with historical facts, highlights from the Institute's work through the decades, insights into current activities, and a look at what the future holds, it's a must-read for anyone interested in the RACHP industry and the IOR's remarkable journey.
