The industry has seen everything from major innovations to important upgrades since last year's AHR Expo. With so much more on the floor for the 2001 event, here's a sampler of what's new.

Before the holidays, we sent out the word to exhibitors at the 2001 AHR Expo: tell us about the new products you'll have on display. The response was very good, and what follows represents a preview of products that had not been released as of last year's show in Dallas. If you're planning to attend, let this roundup help you plan your route around the expo's long aisles. If you won't be in Atlanta, then consider this a mini-summary of some new items for your inspection, all without enduring the rigors of business travel or the fatigue of tired feet.
