• New York Times bestseller • The 100 most substantive solutions to reverse global warming, based on meticulous research by leading scientists and policymakers around the world “At this point in time, the Drawdown book is exactly what is needed; a credible, conservative solution-by-solution narrative that we can do it. Reading it is an effective inoculation against the widespread perception of doom that humanity cannot and will not solve the climate crisis. Reported by-effects include increased determination and a sense of grounded hope.” —Per Espen Stoknes, Author, What We Think About When We Try Not To Think About Global Warming “There’s been no real way for ordinary people to get an understanding of what they can do and what impact it can have. There remains no single, comprehensive, reliable compendium of carbon-reduction solutions across sectors. At least until now. . . . The public is hungry for this kind of practical wisdom.” —David Roberts, Vox “This is the ideal environmental sciences textbook—only it is too interesting and inspiring to be called a textbook.” —Peter Kareiva, Director of the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, UCLA In the face of widespread fear and apathy, an international coalition of researchers, professionals, and scientists have come together to offer a set of realistic and bold solutions to climate change. One hundred techniques and practices are described here—some are well known; some you may have never heard of. They range from clean energy to educating girls in lower-income countries to land use practices that pull carbon out of the air. The solutions exist, are economically viable, and communities throughout the world are currently enacting them with skill and determination. If deployed collectively on a global scale over the next thirty years, they represent a credible path forward, not just to slow the earth’s warming but to reach drawdown, that point in time when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere peak and begin to decline. These measures promise cascading benefits to human health, security, prosperity, and well-being—giving us every reason to see this planetary crisis as an opportunity to create a just and livable world.

The HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) industry plays a critical role in modern society, providing comfort, safety, and productivity in residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. At the heart of these systems lies a vital component—refrigerants. These chemical compounds enable the transfer of heat and make the cooling and heating processes in HVAC systems possible. Yet, as essential as they are, refrigerants have been the subject of growing scrutiny due to their environmental impact. The need to balance efficiency, safety, and environmental sustainability has made refrigerants a dynamic and evolving area of study. This book is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of HVAC refrigerants, from their fundamental principles to their real-world applications. Whether you are an engineer, technician, student, or someone with a general interest in HVAC systems, this book will offer insights into the past, present, and future of refrigerants. Throughout history, refrigerants have undergone significant transformations. From the early days of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which were once celebrated for their efficiency, to the environmentally damaging effects that led to their global phase-out, the evolution of refrigerants is a reflection of our growing understanding of the delicate balance between technology and the environment. Today, modern refrigerants are focused on reducing global warming potential (GWP) and minimizing ozone depletion while still delivering the high performance required in HVAC systems. This book is not just a technical manual; it’s a journey into understanding the science behind refrigeration, the regulations that govern refrigerant usage, and the innovations that will shape the future of the HVAC industry. In a time when energy efficiency and environmental sustainability are of utmost importance, selecting the right refrigerant can make a substantial difference. This decision impacts not only the performance and lifespan of HVAC systems but also the planet we share. As you read through the chapters, you will explore a wide range of refrigerants, from traditional compounds to newer, more environmentally friendly options. You’ll gain an understanding of the regulatory landscape, including global and regional regulations like the Montreal Protocol, and how they drive innovation in the industry. You'll also delve into real-world case studies, gaining practical insights into the challenges and successes associated with different refrigerant applications. In writing this book, my aim is to provide an accessible yet thorough resource on HVAC refrigerants, offering both a foundational understanding and the technical depth needed to make informed decisions in this rapidly changing field. Whether you are retrofitting an existing system, designing a new one, or simply interested in the future of HVAC technology, I hope this book serves as a valuable guide. The future of refrigerants is bright and full of potential, and it is my hope that this book will inspire you to take an active part in shaping that future—one that prioritizes both performance and the health of our environment.
