Here's what you need to know about Washington State's new regulations on HFC management 👇 Washington is taking a firm stance on reducing HFC emissions with new regulations that affect facilities of all sizes. These rules require early preparation and strict compliance to minimize environmental impact. ✅ Facility Registration | Depending on size, facilities must register by the following dates: Large Facilities (>1,500 lbs): Register by March 15, 2024 Medium Facilities (200-1,499 lbs): Register by March 15, 2026 Small Facilities (50-199 lbs): Register by March 15, 2028 🔍 Leak Inspections | Facilities must conduct regular leak inspections and repairs with a certified technician, with the following schedule: Large Facilities: Monthly Medium Facilities: Quarterly Small Facilities: Annually Leaks must be repaired within 14 days of detection, a significantly shorter timeframe than the EPA's 30-day requirement. Failure to repair leaks within this period may necessitate a retrofit or retirement plan for the leaking system. 📋 Recordkeeping: Comprehensive documentation is required for all systems with over 50 lbs of high-GWP refrigerants. Meanwhile, medium and large facilities must submit annual facility reports. We cover what you need to know about the Washington State regulations, as well as the overall 2025 legislative outlook for refrigerant management in our recent blog here: https://lnkd.in/eQf--Jvc

**🔧 The Unsung Heroes of IT Operations: Environmental Controls** In the world of IT, it's not just software and cybersecurity that ensure smooth operations—**environmental controls** play an equally critical role. Without proper power, cooling, and water management, even the most advanced infrastructure is vulnerable. Here's what you need to know: ⚡ **Power Interruptions**: Power fluctuations like surges and brownouts can lead to hardware damage and downtime. Backup power systems such as **generators and UPS** must be maintained to prevent disruptions. 🌡️ **Overheating Risks**: Data centers typically maintain **68-77°F (20-25°C)** and **40-60% humidity** to prevent equipment failure. Poor HVAC performance or clogged filters can cause critical systems to overheat, resulting in costly downtime. 💧 **Water and Humidity Control**: Water-cooled systems are becoming essential in high-density server setups to manage heat more efficiently. However, poor humidity control can lead to **corrosion** or **static buildup**, endangering sensitive equipment. 💼 **Why It Matters**: Reliable HVAC and backup systems are crucial not only for maintaining optimal conditions but also for ensuring long-term infrastructure sustainability and operational continuity. Stay ahead of the curve—learn about the latest in HVAC and environmental control trends: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ev3MD3uj. #ITOperations #EnvironmentalControls #DataCenters #HVAC #Sustainability #BusinessContinuity #TechTrends

Is your IT system surviving the summer heat? Heat, humidity, and moisture in a computer system’s environment are common causes of early equipment failure, which not only can affect your business and network availability, but also costs you time and money to replace items that would otherwise have a much longer lifespan. The solution to this is the incorporation of environmental monitoring equipment. This type of equipment can monitor and remotely alert you to potential dangers in your IT system’s environment such as high temperatures, moisture, and triggered fire alarms, minimising the danger of these environmental factors unexpectedly causing equipment failure.
