Guidance Note GN 1 CFCs, HCFCs and halons: professional and practical guidance on substances which deplete the ozone layer

Publication Year

2000

Document Status

Current

Abstract

The environmental damage that has been caused by the continuing use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HFCs) and halons in terms of ozone depletion and global warming has led CIBSE to promote guidance on their earliest possible replacement by less damaging alternatives. Since the publication of the first version of this Guidance Note further scientific evidence has confirmed the damaging environmental effects of CFCs, HFCs and halons, as well as some of their replacements. This has promoted major revisions to the Montreal protocol and EC regulations on ozone depleting substances, and agreement on the Kyoto Protocol to limit the emissions of greenhouse gases. This Note has been revised to take account of these changes, including advances in the availability and application of alternative refrigerants.
