Low GWP Refrigerants: EPA Technology Transition Rule & Aim Act
For the past year regulations have been in flux. In June 2026, final amendments to the EPA Technology Transition, TT Rule, were approved. Although these changes have given the Refrigeration Industry a bit more time to comply, the next step of the AIM ACT HFC phase-down is fast approaching leaving little time to waste. This seminar will give a better understanding of amended rules and what to expect in the months/years to come. We will also expand on the next generation of (lower GWP) A1-A2L and Natural Refrigerants and how they will be adopted across the HVACR industry.
