As a member of the International Facility Management Association (IFMA)
and the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA), American Air & Water,
Inc. is an approved supplier of UV equipment.
American Air &
Water, Inc. joined the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) and
the International Facility Management Association in order to popularize the
UV technology through direct interaction with facility managers and HVAC
contractors and technicians who work in the field of heating, ventilation,
air conditioning and refrigeration.
The
Air Conditioning Contractors of America’s (ACCA) history can be traced to
the early 1900s during the pre-World War I era when central heating and
factory mechanization were taking root. From these historical mile markers,
two organizations emerged to become voices for workers in the industry: the
National Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Association (NWAHACA) –
established in 1914 to represent manufacturers, wholesalers and contractors
– and the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Contractors of America (ARCA) –
established in 1946 to represent contractors exclusively.
In 1968, NWAHACA dissolved to merge with ARCA. Manufacturer members became
part of what is now known as the Air-Conditioning & Refrigeration Institute
(ARI). Before departing NWAHACA, they established a trust fund to assist
contractors in operating an independent trade organization. The tangible
assets of NWAHACA, as well as the rights to the technical manuals program,
were transferred to the contractor members.
This careful planning resulted in the formation of a new entity, National
Environmental Systems Contractors Association (NESCA), which was
incorporated on January 1, 1969. In 1978, NESCA was renamed Air Conditioning
Contractors of America (ACCA).
Today, ACCA has grown to become the largest organization of heating,
ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration contractors in the industry.
IFMA
is the largest and most widely recognized professional association for
facility management, supporting approximately 18,000 members. The
Association's members are represented in 125 chapters, 16 councils and one
Special Interest Group (SIG), in 56 countries worldwide.
Globally, IFMA certifies facility managers, conducts research, provides
educational programs, recognizes facility management degree and certificate
programs and produces World Workplace, the largest facility
management-related conference and exposition.
