Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute

$50,760.00

Employed Terminated Details about your lobbyist or lobbyist entity's efforts 01/09/2023 12/31/2023 The American Innovation and Manufacturing Act (AIM Act), Section 103 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2020, signed into law by President Trump on December 27 provides authority to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate the production and consumption of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). The AIM Act directs EPA to issue rules that phase down the use of HFCs and authorizes EPA to restrict the use of HFCs in certain applications and otherwise manage the transition to HFC substitutes. Businesses and consumers will not be required to replace existing refrigeration and air conditioning equipment before the end of its useful life. Building codes in all fifty states must be updated to enable the use of HFC replacement refrigerants in chillers, air conditioning and commercial refrigeration. Manufacturers, contractors, and the fire community need the building code update to be complete at least two years before the refrigerant transition goes into effect. The building code update provides the certainty industry needs to comply with the federal regulations and ensure the transition to alternate refrigerants is safe and efficient. The Massachusetts Legislature should adopt language clarifying that building codes in Massachusetts cannot prohibit the use of a substitute refrigerant allowed by EPA, provided the equipment is listed and installed in compliance with the most recent version of the relevant safety standards. Manufacturers support an orderly federal phase down of HFCs because it will allow US manufacturers to maintain technological leadership in the global HVACR marketplace rather than a costly state-by-state approach, while creating new domestic jobs and driving domestic economic growth. The phase down is projected to create 33,000 new manufacturing jobs and sustain 138,400 existing jobs between now and 2027. The phase down will increase direct manufacturing output by $12.5 billion, and total (direct and indirect) manufacturing output by $38.8 billion between now and 2027. Further, the federal transition will shrink U.S. annual greenhouse gas emissions by the equivalent of around 2.4 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide over the next 15 years. The global warming potential of the new refrigerants is approximately 75 percent lower than the global warming potential of the HFC refrigerants currently being used. Bay State Strategies will assist AHRI in making this technical building code fix via legislation in Massachusetts.
