When do refrigerant charge requirements apply under the 2025 Energy Code?

Our latest Technical Bulletin outlines what ECC Raters need to know, including:
✅ Requirements for air conditioning and heat pump systems
✅ How requirements vary by climate zone
✅ The difference between prescriptive and performance pathways
✅ What applies during system alterations and change-outs

For single-family projects using the prescriptive pathway, refrigerant charge requirements apply when a refrigerant-containing component is altered or replaced.
