ASHRAE’s Post

Environmental concerns are shaping new regulations worldwide, impacting refrigerants across various applications. CAREL's latest white paper delves into these changes, focusing on regulations in the EU and the US. The EU's revised F-gas regulation, effective from March 11, mandates phased reductions in HFCs with a complete phase-out by 2050, including HFO requirements. Meanwhile, the AIM Act in the US regulates HFCs, promoting a shift to next-gen technologies. Explore how CAREL's analysis can help you navigate these regulations and find suitable solutions for refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pumps.

Indoor Air Quality Matters- A new bill that would increase the federal government’s role in assessing and improving IAQ, especially in educational facilities, appears to be gaining significant HVAC industry support. The bill has been officially endorsed by ASHRAE, the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors' National Association of Southern Nevada (SMACNA), the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), and the International Association of Sheet Metal Air Rail & Transportation Workers, and is drawing support from other groups as well.  The measure would strengthen the Indoor Environments Division of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and require the EPA to maintain a list of significant indoor contaminants and develop guidelines for reducing exposure to them, require the EPA to adopt certifications for buildings designed and built to prevent or minimize health risks from indoor air, and establish and regularly update a national assessment of IAQ in schools and child-care operations, along with supporting the development of best practices for improving IAQ in those buildings.  #iaq #schools #childcares #educationalfacilities #HVAC #cleanairmatters #youcanbreathe Erlab USA
