Organized by ASHRAE to determine the level of
participation which can be expected from stakeholders
in terms of developing and implementing an RMP

The RMP will be a mutually supported program in
which ASHRAE participates as a stakeholder

The goal of the RMP will be to minimize refrigerant
emissions throughout their life-cycle (production, use
in systems, recovery at the end of system life, and final
disposal)
