Assess if a Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Plant is Sustainable

This document describes checklists and guidance sheets developed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers and the United Nations Environment Programme OzonAction to help technicians, plant managers, policy makers, and suppliers assess whether a refrigerating and air-conditioning plant operates sustainably. It outlines eight practice dimensions covering refrigerant storage and handling, leak checking and documentation, preventive maintenance for equipment and controls, energy-efficient operation, commissioning and recommissioning, disposal of equipment and refrigerant, and personnel competencies.
