Inside the industry-enviro partnership that scored a big climate win on HFCs

Now they and other supporters are on the threshold of seeing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency adopt the policies they’ve advocated for. With that EPA decision expected in mid-October, the coalition is achingly close to achieving its goals. It has one last group to win over: building code officials from counties and municipalities all over America.
