The DOE's new Rooftop Accelerator program encourages manufacturers to develop efficient commercial rooftop heat pumps for cold climates, which could reduce GHG emissions and energy costs by up to 50%.

A New Hampshire grocer installed the innovative FlexCube refrigeration system, a modular technology using the A2L refrigerant R-454C, in his new store.

Copeland’s André Patenaude discusses the new technologies designed for refrigerants such as CO₂, A3, and A2L – and how HVACR contractors can help their food retail customers prepare for a low-GWP future.

The winner is a kit that is a universal, field-mount refrigeration controller with temperature sensors and pressure transducer kit that can be installed up to 40 feet from an air or electric defrost unit cooler.

With new regulations come new consequences for those who attempt to circumvent the rules surrounding high-GWP refrigerants.

EPA is revisiting a rule that would allow R-410A condensing units to be manufactured indefinitely to service existing equipment.

The gold winner’s advanced system helps contractors and facility engineers clean large-volume smooth bore or enhanced tube bundles with increased ease, speed, and effectiveness.

This year’s winner is a kit that enables contractors to convert any manual balancing damper into a fully adjustable electronic one.

In today's economy, cost-conscious end users want to extend their HVAC equipment lifespan as long as possible. Regular maintenance on condensing units can help maximize their longevity and performance.

The commercial refrigeration industry is grappling with a number of issues, including evolving regulations, technician shortages, and leaky equipment, but new AI solutions can help mitigate these challenges.
