This program provides great information on two very important topics; Legislative Updates and Retrofitting A2L refrigerants in existing buildings.

We’ll hear from Edward Briggs, FRACCA Lobbyist, who will provide an overview of our Legislative Accomplishments, highlight recent wins and ongoing efforts that impact our industry. This is your chance to stay at the forefront of HVAC advancements and legislative developments.

Rick Simms is back by popular demand with information on Retrofitting A2L Refrigerants in Existing Buildings.
There have always been limitations for how many pounds of refrigerant can be allowed within various types of occupancy. Refrigerant charge limitations for HCFCs and HFCs were imposed to assure the safety of our existing buildings. The HFC phase-down promises to promote use of low flammability A2L systems and disrupt availability of HFC equipment options for many of those buildings. 

The discussion focuses on the most commonly encountered system types in existing buildings of south Florida. Will not cover low probability systems, commercial refrigeration systems or systems located in approved machine rooms. It also includes a brief summary of recent declaratory statement concerning petition from Broward County.
