University of Maryland Center for Environmental Energy Engineering

With great sadness, we share the news of the sudden passing on January 24 of Reinhard Radermacher, director of the Center for Environmental Energy Engineering (CEEE) and Minta Martin Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland’s A. James Clark School of Engineering. This is a huge loss to the CEEE, University of Maryland, and HVAC&R and heat pump communities.

CEEE will host its Spring Consortium Meetings, March 10-12, 2025. CEEE sponsors are invited to join us in-person or virtually.

CEEE will host the 7th IIR Conference on Thermophysical Properties and Transfer Processes of Refrigerants, June 15-18, 2025. Join us for this globally important conference.

CEEE is excited to be part of NSF’s new Environmentally Applied Refrigerant Technology Hub (EARTH), which brings together six universities to promote sustainable HVAC&R. Collaboration with our EARTH colleagues complements the HVAC&R systems and component innovation pursued by CEEE at the University of Maryland for over three decades. CEEE research is supported by industry and government.
