F-Gas regulation and the drive towards lower-GWP refrigerants are reshaping the choices available to HVAC designers and specifiers. But refrigerant selection is about more than GWP alone, with safety, energy efficiency, system size, embodied carbon impact, maintainability and whole-life performance all influencing the most appropriate solution.
This webinar explores the changing regulatory landscape and what it means in practice for the specification, installation and operation of heating and cooling systems. It compares the characteristics and application of refrigerants including R32, R290 and CO₂, examines the engineering trade-offs involved, and considers how existing systems can be maintained, upgraded or replaced as regulations and technologies evolve. Practical examples illustrate how these considerations can inform robust, future-ready HVAC design.
