At a recent webinar, attendees learned how the U.K.’s third largest supermarket chain will transition its refrigeration systems away from high-GWP HFCs.

We would like to celebrate women who are excelling in the trade by highlighting them in our first-ever Recognizing Women in the HVACR Industry issue.

By employing a ventilation strategy such as a DOAS, conditioned fresh air can be brought into the building, thus improving IAQ and ensuring a safer environment.

As it looks like life in the U.S. may finally be returning to normal, it’s time to consider what the post-COVID world could hold in store for the HVAC industry.

With the federal government’s passage of the AIM Act last year, the phasedown of high-GWP HFCs in commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems is imminent.

Many contractors, distributors, and manufacturers reported record sales in the past year, and there are no signs that momentum is slowing down.

Refrigerant leaks in HVACR equipment – particularly commercial refrigeration systems -- are a significant problem.

This phasedown has been expected for a while, which is why OEMs have been working diligently to identify alternative refrigerants that are safe and efficient.

A sales surge has boosted earnings for OEMs in the first quarter of 2021 and led most to raise their outlooks for the year.

Chiller OEMs have been preparing for a refrigerant phasedown, and they are identifying alternative refrigerants that are efficient, safe, and cost-effective.
