Midea Earns Intertek Award Certification, Reinforces Workforce Development at AHR 2025
Midea recently hosted industry leaders from Intertek, ESCO Group and Resource Innovations in a compelling panel discussion of heat pump trends and the issues and opportunities for commercialization. The panel, held during AHR 2025, explored the future of heat pump adoption and regulatory challenges and underscored the growing role of policy, incentives and industry collaboration in scaling heat pump adoption.
After participating with Intertek in the panel discussion about heat pump commercialization requirements, Midea was honored with Intertek’s first Global CVP Compliance Certificate for Air Conditioners. The company’s EVOX All Climate Heat Pump sets new benchmarks in extreme climate performance and ease of installation. As a result, Phil Huang, head of Midea RAC North America, accepted the Intertek award, stating, “This recognition reflects our dedication to innovation and our mission to make energy-efficient technology accessible to all.”
Midea also reinforced its commitment to education and workforce development at the AHR Expo. This year, the company hosted numerous training sessions and discussed its collaboration with numerous trade schools across North America and efforts in providing both contractors and students with hands-on experience in advanced heat pump technology. As part of this initiative, Midea has donated HVAC units and other equipment to Orange Technical College in Orlando, Florida to support hands-on training for its trade students.
On the final day of the show, Midea hosted local trade school students for a tour of the booth. David Rames, senior product manager, Midea America Corp., also participated on the AHR Expo-hosted Workforce Development Panel, where he and other industry leaders discussed the importance of preparing the next generation of HVAC professionals. Beyond the classroom, Midea continues to partner with contractors, influencers and media outlets to expand industry knowledge, raise awareness of the benefits of heat pump technology and foster greater adoption of energy-efficient HVAC solutions.
