A2L Refrigerant Mandate by EPA

Resolved that the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) use its resources, legal, governmental, and public relations, to inform the public of the potential danger of A2L.

Further resolved that NAHB urge Congress to delay the mandate until which time A2L can be infused with an easily detectable, unique odor to prevent a catastrophe.

Further resolved that NAHB urge Congress to amend the law mandating its use to hold harmless home builders, remodelers, air conditioning system installers, and code officials for its use and hold the manufacturer totally responsible for any catastrophic event from A2L’s use.
