Ov Over erview view 10

Affected End-Uses and Rules for Refrigeration Proposed Rules: • New facilities: systems > 50 lb, GWP < 150, starting 2022, irrespective of end-use • Existing facilities: rules depend on the end-use 11

Expected Emissions Reductions from Proposed Refrigeration Rules 12

Dra raft Re ft Regulator tory T Text • Existing CA SNAP / SB 1013 prohibitions are listed in Tables 1 and 2. • New requirements are listed in Tables 3 and 4 (edited for clarity since January) 13

What is a “New Facility”? § 95373. 95373. Part of Definition ons “New Facility” means any of the following: (1) New construction; (2) An existing facility not previously used for cold storage, or refrigeration used in retail food, commercial, industrial refrigeration; or (3) …with a replacement of 75 percent or more of evaporators (by number) and, 100 percent of compressors racks, and 100 percent of condensers. : § 95375(c) and § 95375(d) Exce xception: Appr pprov oved B Buildi ding P g Permits: The prohibitions do not apply to any facility with new refrigeration equipment that received an approved building permit before the effective date. 16

Questions Received for IPR Q. Do Does es t the he IPR PR def efini nition n match t h the he U.S. S.EPA d def efini nitions ns? A: A: Yes, but edited to align even more closely with EPA definitions under Rule 608 and SNAP rules. § 95373. 95373. Defi Defini nitions ns “ Industrial Process Refrigeration” means to cool process streams at a specific location in manufacturing and other forms of industrial processes and applications, and are complex, customized systems that are directly linked to the industrial process. Where one appliance is used for both industrial process refrigeration and other applications, it will be considered an industrial process refrigeration system if 50 percent or more of its operating capacity is used for industrial process refrigeration. Industrial process refrigeration or cooling using a chiller is regulated as a chiller. Industrial process refrigeration not using a chiller is regulated as industrial process refrigeration equipment. 24
