From the editor A new future
S
o now we’re in 2020 – or about to be if you’re reading the preview edition – and for the first time we’re starting a
new year with a new Government, which is currently dedicated to driving the country to a new future outside of the European Union. F-Gas is stepping up again this year, banning the service and maintenenace of refrigerant gases with GWPs of over 2500 in
equipment with a charge size of over 40 Tonnes CO2 equivalent – and building regulations are tightening up, especially with regards
to Part L and Part F -an d that’s just for a start.
The new Government is under pressure to make the green agenda a priority and leaving the EU is sure to mean that the UK’s standards must be better than the EUs in order to trade.
HVAC & Refrigeration LIVE (page 14) in April will be covering all of these changes and examining what further changes the future will bring in the UK, which will make it the must-attend event of 2020.
