Refrigerants: Rethinking their Role in Electrification

A recording of this session is available here: https://youtu.be/uUuGNMokg8Q

This panel will analyze the impacts of the EPA's Technology Transitions Program, including the phasedown of HFCs and the adoption of A2L refrigerants, which present new challenges for design teams and building owners. Panelists will explore the roles of refrigerants in shaping the electrification strategies of new and existing buildings, while proposing innovative HVAC design alternatives to minimize refrigerant use. Attendees will gain strategies to adapt to regulatory changes, advancing safe, sustainable, and cost-effective HVAC designs for a low-carbon future.
