Current News & InformationR-22 Phase Out — February 2009 Puron® Refrigerant from Carrier Offers Solution to R-22 Phase OutThe year 2010 marks an important U.S. milestone for ozone protection with the phase out of R-22, an ozone depleting refrigerant used in some new air-conditioning systems for more than four decades. To meet this environmental challenge, Carrier Corp., a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX), introduced non-ozone depleting alternative cooling solutions with Puron refrigerant, approved in 1997 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Prior to Puron refrigerant, most residential air conditioners and heat pumps used R-22 refrigerant, a chlorine-containing refrigerant that can contribute to depletion of the earth’s ozone layer, according to the KTH-EGI Phase out of R22 Refrigerant Study, “In just 15 months, the widely used R-22 refrigerant can no longer be used in new cooling systems, but Carrier has been ready since 1996 when we introduced residential non-ozone depleting cooling systems,” said Chris Nelson, vice president of sales and marketing for Carrier Residential and Light Commercial Systems. “Today, Carrier’s environmentally-sound systems with Puron refrigerant cool nearly three million homes throughout the U.S.” Beginning in 2010, the U.S. will require all residential air conditioner and heat pump manufacturers to produce systems that use only non-ozone-depleting refrigerants in accordance with the U.S. Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Although the Clean Air Act allows for R-22 to be manufactured in diminishing quantities through 2020 to service existing systems, published reports indicate that service demands may outstrip supply by 2015; potentially causing the price for this refrigerant to rise dramatically as availability declines, similar to what occurred in the automotive industry with the phase-out of R-12. Anthony Morelli at Morelli Heating & Air stated, “Because of the potential increase in the price of R-22 and the impending total phase out, consumers considering a new home comfort system should consider the unit’s refrigerant much as they would a SEER rating or ENERGY STAR label. By choosing higher efficiency air-conditioner and heat pump equipment that use Puron refrigerant, consumers will be able to enjoy lower operating costs and environmentally sound operation while protecting themselves from potentially rising service costs associated with R-22 based systems.” (courtesy Carrier Corp.)

The facility accommodates infants to 4-years-old in a building that meets— and exceeds— National Association for the Education of Young Children guidelines. Design components include light monitors for increased natural light in classrooms and public spaces, a geothermal HVAC system and the sue of sustainable materials, such as ground-faces block, cast stone and cement panels and trim. The building is organized to respond to the corner site location. A tall spine connects the ceremonial corner entry with the lobby oriented to the parking lot. Classrooms are attached to the spine in a "L" configuration, with younger children separated from older children. Age appropriate playgrounds are easily accessible, and covered porches and canopies provide screening from excessive sunlight. Attention to detail is apparent in the choice of exterior materials, the intricate design of the light shelves and the colorful marine animal shapes that decorate the hallways. The owner wanted to keep the building affordable so childcare would be available to young families. Throughout the process, the contractor apprised the team of costs, keeping the project on budget. Several times, the entire team took part in look at more efficient alternatives so the project would stay within budget. The schedule was also important because the academy needed to open in fall 2004. The team took a 14-mont schedule and reduced to nine months. This required coordination among all the team members.
