Refrigerant Transitions: The Impact to Decarbonization and Equipment Performance

Don't miss out on this opportunity to expand your knowledge and broaden your understanding of refrigeration systems.

Presented with Mission Critical
 
Discover how introducing new refrigerants with low Global Warming Potential (GWP) can positively impact sustainability and decarbonization initiatives for data centers. In this on-demand webinar, we will delve into the influence of refrigerants on efficiency and leaving water temperatures (LWTs), a crucial consideration in data center design and operations.
 
We will examine how these new refrigerants unlock opportunities for existing and emerging compressor technologies. Lastly, we will address the timing of refrigerant transitions, along with the governing bodies, regulations, and drivers behind these transformative changes. 
 
Learning Objectives: 
 
1. Gain insight into the role of refrigerants in decarbonization efforts. 
2. Explore how refrigerants impact efficacy and leaving water temperatures (LWTs). 
3. Understand the timing of refrigerant transitions. 
4. Familiarize yourself with the governing bodies, regulations, and standards driving refrigerant transitions.

Decarbonizing the Built Environment: The Role of Embodied Carbon, LCAs, and EPDs
As the trend to achieve net zero carbon intensifies, the building sector, responsible for approximately 39% of global CO2 emissions, is experiencing a notable shift. Significant strides have been made in helping to reduce operational carbon through energy-efficient and electrified HVAC systems, as well as renewable energy. Now, the focus is shifting towards helping to decrease embodied carbon, which includes the greenhouse gas emissions arising from the entire lifecycle of building materials. This presentation will explore the key aspects of embodied carbon in the context of whole life carbon footprint.
