Refrigerants are the invisible workhorses of modern climate control. They play a critical role in the operation of both heat pump hot water (HPHW) units and air conditioning (AC) systems. These specialised chemical compounds cycle continuously to absorb heat from one area and release it into another, and are a large reason why split systems […]

The first performance results have been published under Australia’s new National Vehicle Emissions Standard (NVES) — and while the immediate impact on electric vehicle numbers is modest, the data hints at changes that matter for rooftop solar and household electrification.
