HVAC Compliance Strategies
Preparing for the EPA Refrigerant Phasedown
Facility managers are facing accelerated timelines regarding the EPA’s recent hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) phasedown mandates. Transitioning away from legacy refrigerants requires strategic capital planning rather than reactive equipment replacement.
Waiting until existing chillers experience catastrophic failure will expose property portfolios to severe supply chain delays and inflated emergency retrofitting costs. A proactive audit of your current mechanical inventory is the critical first step toward compliance.
3 Steps to Optimize Current Systems
While mapping out long-term equipment replacement, immediate efficiency gains can offset future capital expenditures:
- Implement Eddy Current Testing: Identify tube degradation in commercial chillers before minor leaks compromise system efficiency and trigger EPA reporting thresholds.
- Calibrate Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs): Ensure fan and pump motors are strictly matching load requirements during shoulder seasons to reduce electrical draw.
- Review Coil Sanitation Cycles: Routine mechanical cleaning of condenser coils can restore heat transfer efficiency, lowering energy consumption by up to 15%.

- Commit to Reliable Attendance: Absences must be notified to a line manager in the required timeframes[cite: 1]. If an absence is not notified, it could be seen as an unauthorised absence and dealt with under the AWOL Policy[cite: 1].

- Speak Up with Integrity: We have high standards of openness, integrity, and accountability[cite: 1]. Team members are able to voice concerns confidentially regarding suspected wrongdoings or dangers using the ABM Compliance Hotline[cite: 1].

As transit agencies accelerate their transition to zero-emission fleets, one of the biggest challenges is ensuring buses stay on the road delivering reliable service while charging infrastructure keeps pace.
That’s why we’re proud to join our city partners in celebrating the groundbreaking of new on-route electric bus opportunity chargers. Scaled for global portfolios, this milestone reflects the power of partnership and highlights the growing momentum behind practical, scalable electrification solutions. ⚡🚌

It’s great to see more electric buses in the city! Will these new charging stations be entirely solar-powered?
ABM Industries
Great question, Jason! While these specific on-route chargers tie into the local grid to handle high-demand opportunity charging, ABM is actively working with municipal partners to integrate microgrids and solar canopies into future transit depots. Stay tuned! ☀️
