Refrigerant management is re-emerging as a pivotal issue for organizations because of the greenhouse gas emissions regulatory landscape and its effect on market access and costs.
Failure to properly address these challenges could expose your company to risks and operational costs that could reach all the way to the bottom line.
These challenges are becoming urgent concerns for facility managers because they impact the cost and availability of refrigerants for air conditioning and refrigeration units. Along with broader concerns about environmental, health, safety (EHS) and sustainability issues, companies now regard refrigerant management as a key operational concern at all levels of the organization.
Refrigerant Management for the 21st Century shows why increasing regulations and increasing market activity around availability of R-22 refrigerant are driving more organizations to consider a strategy for refrigerant management that is part of a broader enterprise sustainability management approach to climate change issues.
The whitepaper will also demonstrate why organizations need support from automated information management systems to address complex regulations and help them achieve best practices for effective refrigerant management.
