A2L Refrigerants: Discussing Research, Standards, Codes, and Regulations

Learn how the transition to A2L refrigerants will impact design, construction, permitting, and building operations so you can better protect your projects, clients, and investments.

Philadelphia's Department of Licenses and Inspections (L&I) is hosting industry experts Tom Dreary, AHRI Senior Director of Codes, and Stephen Spletzer, Chemours Company Global Technical Service Manager, for an informative presentation on the transition to A2L refrigerants and the changes in regulations, standards, and codes shaping this industry-wide shift.

Property owners and managers, developers, design professionals, and contractors should all be familiar with the regulatory and technical framework governing the transition to A2L refrigerants. The shift has implications across the full lifecycle of a building—design, permitting, installation, operations, and risk management.

This presentation will provide an overview of the transition to A2L refrigerants and explain why this change is necessary. Topics Include:

What A2L refrigerants are and why the transition is happening
Key policy drivers
Updates to major standards and model codes (UL, ASHRAE, IMC, IRC, IFC/NFPA 1)
State and local updates, including Pennsylvania HB 2079 (Act 123)
