Stan Kolbe, SMACNA’s Executive Director for Government and Political Affairs, was featured on a webinar held by ACHR News on August 21.

The industry group examined over an hour of discussions with a live audience question and answer period, just how the recently passed tax law will affect the HVAC industry markets, capital equipment investments and prospects for emerging projects.
