Proposed GWP Limit on AC Equipment
• Effective January 1, 2023, new air conditioning systems must use a refrigerant with a global warming potential (GWP) value < 750
• Effective January 1, 2024, new chillers must use a refrigerant with a GWP value < 750 (consistent with SB 1013)

HFCs are the fastest growing greenhouse gases
• Currently 4% of California GHG emissions (Increasing to 10% by 2030 under BAU)
• SB 1383 reduction goal: 40% below 2013 levels by 2030(one-half of today’s HFC emissions)

Defining “New Refrigeration Equipment”
Current definition of “New Refrigeration Equipment” in CARB’s 2018 Regulation1:
(1) Any refrigeration equipment that is first installed using new or used components; or (2) Any refrigeration equipment that is modified such that it is: (i) Expanded after the date at which this subarticle becomes effective, to handle an expanded cooling load by the addition of components in which the capacity of the system is increased, including refrigerant lines, evaporators, compressors, condensers, and other components; or (ii) Replaced or cumulatively replaced after the date at which this subarticle becomes effective, such that the capital cost of replacing or cumulatively replacing components exceeds 50 percent of the capital cost of replacing the entire refrigeration system.
Q. Will this definition work for this proposed regulation?
