In all the talk about green buildings and certifications, did anyone talk to owners and architects about the cost. It’s fine to put another certification requirement on Engineer’s but the number of licenses and certifications along with continuing education make being an Enineer somewhat taxing on their health. I think the costs are too high. Put more thought into creating a refrigerant that operates at a pressure that is easier to contain. Field personnel have a tough time brazing joints to hold 350 PSI of pressure.
