The need for the HVACR supply chain to engage natural refrigerant based technology.

1. Change 2016
The Role of the HVACR Supply Chain

2. Implications for the HVACR Industry
Implication: From a procurement POV 2030 is NOW:
The Australian HVACR industry has the opportunity to:
Reduce the energy cost of HVCAR by 60%+ ($8B PA)
Reduce GHG emissions by 50%
Reduce national emissions by 7% from HVACR alone
These opportunities are commercially warranted!
We need a great deal of training and education

3. HVACR in Australia
We believe the industry can reduce energy consumption
by 60/70% - $8/10 B PA
It is not clear to us that the energy management industry is
sufficiently engaged with HVACR energy efficiency!
• Specifiers,
• ESCOs,
• Facilities Managers,
• Contractors,
• Owners & Users.

4. Innovation In HVACR Energy Efficiency
• We need to !
• You can !
• It is commercially required and warranted -
NOW

5. We Need To !
HVACR must transition to Low GWP refrigerants:
• Or HFC will add 50 to 90% to global warming by 2050
• Add indirect emissions and this approaches 100%
• Transition will be driven by the Montreal Protocol
• Transition will be driven by energy efficiency
• Transition is inevitable
The solutions are in our hands NOW

6. We Need To !
HVACR Transition in Australia is:
• Energy Efficiency
• Direct Emissions elimination
• Australia should be a leader:
- high growth for those that embrace transition
- national competitiveness
- export development, import reduction
- demonstration to / with the third world
The solutions are in our hands NOW

7. THEREFORE
We are going to Tell It Like It Is
HFOs are Low GWP, but:
• Not importantly more energy efficient that HFCs
• Very expensive
• Not safer. Why risk thermal decomposition - lethal
• Not lower cost on a life cycle basis
• High Life Cycle Assessment impact?
Do we really need another synthetic refrigerant ?

8. THEREFORE
Natural Refrigerant Based Technologies Are:
• More energy efficient
• Proven cost and performance superior
• Can be used safely
• Lower cost
• Require particular expertise to design and service
Commercialisation Is Required

9. You Can !
Let’s be absolutely clear about the considerations:
• Natural Refrigerant based solutions are available &
proven in all HVACR sectors.
• They deliver major energy efficiency savings.
• Retrofit solutions are available and cost effective.
• They are commercially justified.
• There are no excuses for delay.
Supply Chain awareness is almost nonexistent !

10. There is a Major Commercial Confrontation
The Future is Natural Refrigerants vs HFOs:
• If you are telling your client anything else you are not
telling the truth.
• If you are telling your clients that natural refrigerants are
more dangerous you are not telling the truth.
• Why would you be representing anything but a natural
refrigerant based technology?

11. Implications for the HVACR Industry
From a procurement POV 2030 is NOW:
Despite the major benefits of transition to low emissions
technology the HVACR industry will be highly controversial
for the foreseeable future.
You can expect a good deal of obfuscation as the various
commercial interests press their POV.

12. SAFETY
HVACR Safety is about one thing:
• Trained engineers and technicians
• That’s everyone that has direct responsibility for
HVACR performance – about 100,000
• Training, education and communications are
critical

13. What is transition to energy efficient HVACR?

25. Management
Too often we are told that capital cost is the key determinant of
buying decisions in association with:
- A lack of financing initiative
- Split incentives
- Lack of Life Cycle Costing, and Life Cycle Management
Enormous opportunity for HVACR cost reduction and
performance improvement.
The starting point is awareness of the sources of energy
efficiency. The next step is understanding and integration!

Huge communications requirement.

27. Collaboration
 Government & Industry, End Users
 Training & Education
 R&D, Validation, Commercialisation
The transition to low GWP refrigerants calls for new HVACR industry
management systems:
• Standards
• Regulation
• Licensing
• Innovation, R&D + Commercialisation
• Training & Education
• Communications

28. Collaboration
The transition to low GWP refrigerants calls for new HVACR industry
management systems:
Licensing
Low GWP refrigerant based technology is clearly the future but not
addressed by the current HVACR licensing system.
Training, Education and Communications
There is an enormous educational need to make all stakeholders
aware of the benefits and requirements of low GWP refrigerant
based technology ( perhaps 100,000 individuals).
Innovation
The technology is available, validation & consideration is critical,
government and academia have important roles.

Specifiers and End Users should engage
with: ARA, DoE, DoI, OEH, VEET
You need a voice, we need your voice
in these policy developments.

30. Who is Responsible For Innovation
Commercialisation, Standards, Regulations, Enforcement,
Training, Finance, Public Procurement, Leadership
• Whoever takes the initiative….. Wins.
• What is the role of “the industry” ?
• What is the role of Government – all three levels?
– Federal?
– State: OEH, VEET, ACT…….
– Local?
