Winter storms battering much of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic were no match for the 2016 AHR Expo, which drew almost 61,000 to Orlando, Florida. The January 25-27 HVAC market trade show managed to have an official attendance of 60,926 visitors who came to see what’s billed as the largest HVAC construction trade show in the world. The expo took up 469,540 square feet of the convention center, with 2,063 exhibitors showing their sheet metal forming, green HVAC and zero energy building products. Exhibitors brought 18,254 staff ers to work the booths over the convention’s three days, which saw lots of sheet metal works and ductwork fabrication products sold right off the show floor.
