Refrigerant Management Program


The University of Kentucky’s Refrigerant Management Program establishes the framework for how UK will comply with Title VI of the Clean Air Act (CAA), Stratospheric Ozone Protection. The sections of this regulation that UK must follow include Servicing of Motor Vehicle Air Conditioners, Recycling and Emissions Reduction, and Halon Emissions Reduction. These sections establish the requirements for the service, maintenance, repair, and disposal of appliances containing ozone depleting substances (ODS) or non-ODS substances. Learn more about these substances, the appliances that are covered by UK’s program, and who participates in the program on the following pages.
