The HVAC industry is in the midst of a significant transition as lower-GWP refrigerants are introduced to meet evolving environmental regulations and sustainability goals. ASHRAE Standards 15 and 15.2 provide the foundation for the safe design, installation, and operation of refrigeration systems, and their latest updates directly impact the use of A2L refrigerants in modern HVAC applications.
This session will review the key design and safety considerations outlined in the ASHRAE Standards 15 and 15.2 when designing VRF systems using A2L refrigerants. By the end of the presentation, participants will have a clear understanding of the regulatory framework, risk mitigation strategies, and design pathways necessary for compliance.
