ARLINGTON, Va. - To reduce emissions by manufacturing facilities that either produce, use, store, or transport refrigerants, the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI) in partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), released new guidelines for handling refrigerants to minimize their potential environmental impact. According to ARI, it applies to facilities making both residential and commercial equipment.
"The new guidelines recommend specific steps to help our industry further reduce emissions and further improve our already good record of handling refrigerants," said William Sutton, ARI's president.
