The European F-Gas regulation and the phasedown of high-GWP refrigerants — and resulting impact on refrigerant price — have driven recognition in all regions that high-GWP refrigerant use comes with long-term environmental and cost risks. That’s according to Drew Turner, global marketing manager - Oil-free Solutions, Danfoss. In the U.S., in the absence of federal direction, states and cities (including California and the growing U.S. Climate Alliance) are taking steps to reduce high-GWP refrigerants, driving change throughout the industry.
“Regulations that focus on environmental sustainability and energy efficiency are creating opportunities to improve overall HVAC products and system designs as the industry continues to evaluate long-term viable solutions,” said Brian Smith, director of global marketing - Chiller Solutions, Johnson Controls Inc. “The HVAC market is continually driving toward system efficiency, sustainable solutions, connectivity, and cloud-based services.”
