What do HVAC refrigerants have to do with building decarbonization?

The same refrigerants we need to run HVAC systems and keep our buildings comfortable can emit harmful greenhouse gases (GHG). Converting to next generation, low-GWP refrigerants is critical to slowing emissions. Regulations to mandate these changes continue to evolve. Knowing where to start with refrigerant conversion and management can feel overwhelming.
With more than 100 years in the HVAC business, we can help you navigate the complexities of this process and make the right decisions for your building and the environment.

Refrigerant Migration
It is possible to convert some existing equipment over to more current, preferred refrigerant replacements. It takes specialized expertise, though, and drop-in substitutions simply do not exist. Inserting the wrong refrigerant can cause serious equipment damage. Trane Engineered Conversions® asses your equipment and make necessary retrofits before recharging with an approved refrigerant.
