McQuay has the most complete line in the industry of VAV rooftop systems that use HFC-410A (R-410A)—a non-ozone-depleting refrigerant with no phase-out concerns. All are available with efficiencies that exceed
ASHRAE 90.1-2007 requirements for the year 2010. And they are competitively priced.

Using chlorine-free R-410A with zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) helps protect both the environment and your investment. That’s because new equipment using R-410A faces no mandated phase-out date over a 20 to 30 year equipment life expectancy.

Most competitive VAV rooftop systems still use HCFC-22 (R-22) refrigerant, which has a phase-out date mandated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). As of January 1, 2010, R-22 can no longer be used in new equipment. As of January 1, 2020, it can no longer be produced or imported, which means all service work will require recycled, and likely expensive, R-22 refrigerant.

The refrigerants used in HVAC equipment can earn a point for LEED certification.
A LEED pre-requisite is that HVAC equipment must not use a CFC refrigerant. An additional point can be earned if the refrigerant is not an HCFC (such as HCFC-22 and HCFC-123). HFC-410A, HFC-407C and HFC-134a are considered green refrigerants and earn the extra LEED
point.
