SUMMARY:Refrigerants Impact on ESG Reporting
DESCRIPTION:Your Business As Usual approach no longer provides you with Investor Quality Data. It’s time to upgrade to auditable data. \nTrakRef CEO Ted Atwood discusses how the SEC now closely monitors standardized disclosures and ESG results for public companies. Investors are deeply interested in better ESG data and transparency. HVAC/R activity is now going to need high-quality documentation to support sustainability and compliance obligations. \nWatch the video to discover why carbon emissions tracking\, F-gas tracking\, and refrigerant recordkeeping\, have moved to the front line of ESG compliance. \nIn this webinar\, you’ll learn more about: \n\nThe SEC Response to Climate & ESG Risks\nThe real GWP of regularly used refrigerants\nDefinitions of Scope 1\, 2\, and 3 emissions\nInvestor Grade Data vs. Mechanic Grade\nOperationalizing compliance\n\n  \nSEC’s Rulemaking\n\n\n\n\nThe SEC has moved forward on rulemaking to make climate disclosures required for publicly-traded companies\nScope 1\, 2\, and 3 will be required\nMake sure your company is prepared\n\n\n\n\n  \nRefrigerant Fast Facts\n\n\n\n1 pound of refrigerant = 1+ tons of carbon.\n> 600 million LBS of refrigerant leak annually in the U.S.\n25% leak rate industry-wide leak rate on refrigerants\, according to the EPA\nLeaked refrigerants had a greater environmental impact than all CO2 emissions from U.S. passenger aircraft travel in 2019.\n> 85% of refrigerant data assets and inventory information are inaccurate or insufficient to provide useful metrics.

SUMMARY:Why Refrigerant Destruction is the Best Option
DESCRIPTION:Decades of evidence show that recycling didn’t work. But this time we don’t have decades. \nDestroy all used Refrigerants? Absolutely. Watch Trakref Founder & CEO\, Ted Atwood\, explain that many older buildings have antiquated refrigeration systems that contain harmful CFCs. Although your systems may still function\, they are very likely leaking right now. \nYes\, recycling these gasses is one solution. But recycling unintentionally sends these back into use\, which will ultimately lead to 100% emissions into our atmosphere. Now\, Trakref is working to instead destroy all used refrigerants worldwide at the molecular level\, so they never end up vented into the atmosphere to do more harm. \nWatch the webinar to learn more about: \n\nGlobal warming potential (GWP) of refrigerants vs. CO2\nEvidence of refrigerant reclamation’s failure\nThe 13 gigatons of CO2 in refrigerants\, air conditioning\, and foams\nESRAG’s refrigerant drawdown\nThe Rotary International donation program\n\n  \nGlobal Warming Potential\n\n\n\n\n1GWP — CO2\n4\,750 GWP — R-11 (used in commercial cooling\, residential air conditioners\, foam blowing agent)\n10\,900 GWP — R-12 (used in commercial cooling\, residential refrigeration\, air conditioners)\n\n\n\n\n  \nBenefits of Drawdown\n\n\n\nGuidance on best practice in refrigeration management\nCo-branding opportunities\nMetrics for corporate sustainability reporting\nNetworking opportunities across the membership

SUMMARY:Refrigerants\, ESG\, and the concept of Double Materiality
DESCRIPTION:Double Materiality involves the impact a company creates on the climate – and all aspects of ESG – with operational data at the center. \nDouble materiality is a carbon accounting practice that mirrors the concept of financial materiality. In essence\, data should be disclosed if a reasonable person would consider it important or ”material.” \nYour company’s climate-related impacts can be material and therefore require disclosure. Operationalizing the concept of double materiality is key to successful sustainability reporting. \nView the webinar to learn more about: \n\nThe Story of Double Materiality\nDirect Consequences on ESG Filings\nWhat your company is supposed to report\nThe two dimensions: impact materiality and financial materiality\nHow the concept applies to refrigerants\n\n  \nReporting Protocols\n\n\n\n\nThe EPA first publicly acknowledged that all refrigerants are vented in 2019.\nCompliance reporting requires tracking of leaks and maintenance only on systems 50 pounds and over (in the US).\nSustainability reporting requires tracking of emissions on all systems.\nDouble-materiality is central to the EC’s proposed Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).\n\n\n\n\n  \nESG & Materiality\n\nFinancial Materiality: Evidence of impacts that are reasonably likely to affect value (beyond what is already recognized in financial reporting).\nImpact Materiality: Evidence of environmental impact from an entity’s operations\, products\, or services (including through the value chain).\nDouble Materiality: Involves both impact and financial materiality perspectives (and their interactions).

SUMMARY:Operationalizing HVAC/R Compliance
DESCRIPTION:To reach compliance success\, are you ready\, willing\, and able to look even deeper into your business? \nNo matter what type of facility you own or manage\, you are responsible for recording\, tracking\, managing\, and reporting your refrigerant usage and HVAC/R maintenance. \nLeaks happen\, but you have a responsibility to make sure your team knows how to react. “Greenwashing\,” or faking results for better optics\, is never a winning strategy. Operationalize your HVAC/R compliance and take action to institute a Defensible Compliance Program. \nView the webinar to learn more about: \n\nBuilding a “Defensible” Compliance Program\nUsing the Cloud for Compliance\nCMMS & the Compliance Paradigm\nEnvironmental Governance & Greenwashing\n\n  \nHVAC/R compliance demands operational improvements:\n\n\n\n\n93-97% of companies have further to go on the journey to compliance success.\nA small leak in a small system can contribute 20-100 tons of carbon\, or about the same carbon that 5-20 cars use in a year.\nLess than 5% of all leaks are identified with sub-metering or leak detecting devices.\nEmissions have remained at 25% average for more than 20 years\, even though technology has advanced.\n\n  \n\nYour maintenance regime falls into one of 4 categories:\n\nReactive (breakdown or run to failure)\nPreventative (time-based)\nPredictive (condition-based monitoring)\nPrescriptive (Reliability centered maintenance)
