Modern fire suppression systems often use hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) where sensitive environments would be negatively impacted by water.

On Oct. 6, the EPA introduced new rules as part of the AIM Act, and is now stepping in to ensure enough recycled HFCs are available, requiring better tracking of HFC containers and stricter labeling to prevent leaks.

Please join us for part three of our four-part series on recent changes to EPA regulations where we focus on one of the forgotten areas of refrigerant emissions – fire suppression systems. Modern fire suppression systems often use hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) just like AC units and other cooling equipment, where sensitive environments would be negatively impacted by water-based systems. Monitoring and reporting on HFC leaks from these systems will now be required for most companies.

Join Ted Atwood, Fexa’s chief compliance and sustainability officer, as he simplifies the EPA’s proposed emissions reduction measures, aimed for implementation starting January 2025, including mandatory system maintenance, specialized technician training, and specific guidelines for HFC disposal, such as recycling and controlled destruction.
