The future of air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment is tied to low global warming refrigerants, many of which are at least mildly flammable. So why, at this stage in the phasedown, when California and other states are finalizing their plans for low-GWP refrigerants, are we asking if these refrigerants will be allowed to be used?
Resilient infrastructure. For the industries responsible for America’s infrastructure, the concept seems simple enough: infrastructure should be able to withstand a powerful, unexpected blow without collapsing under the impact. Yet, a closer look reveals a more complicated issue.

But to make significant progress we need to shift to an integrated approach that coordinates stakeholders across the building life into the design process, and an advanced delivery strategy for a more holistic approach to transform America’s complex urban landscape.
