Climate Impact & Emissions Reduction
A small leak.
A massive climate signal.
Early refrigerant-leak intelligence for measurable CO₂e reduction, regulatory compliance, and audit-ready climate evidence—before a minor leak becomes a major liability.

WHAT REFRIGDNA ACTUALLY IS
A sensing-to-compliance system for refrigerant assets.
RefrigDNA combines equipment-level signals, an asset refrigerant passport, climate calculations, repair workflows, and evidence records in one operating layer.
IN ONE SENTENCEHardware watches the asset. Software explains the risk and drives the response.
01SENSOR + EDGE INPUTS
Asset-level signal capture
Temperature, vibration, acoustic and environmental channels create an evolving equipment signature—without waiting for a catastrophic failure.
WHO USES IT — AND WHY
One platform.
Different urgent decisions.
FACILITY & PORTFOLIO OWNERS
Find risk earlier. Protect uptime.
Prioritize which asset needs attention, understand the cost of delay and see performance across buildings.
Best fit: supermarkets, cold storage, campuses, commercial portfoliosWHAT IS REAL TODAY
Operational prototype.
Field-validation next.
Public credibility requires a clear line between demonstrated capability and what the pilot must prove.
Controlled field performance
- Sensor placement and calibration
- Detection sensitivity and false alarms
- Leak-rate uncertainty bounds
- Repair verification repeatability
Portfolio intelligence
- Building integrations and APIs
- Versioned regulatory logic
- Technician and owner workflows
- Benchmarking across asset classes
Our standard: distinguish measured data, modeled estimates and verified outcomes—every time.

THE CLIMATE + COMPLIANCE CASE
First, understand what one invisible leak really means.
THE PHYSICAL SYSTEM
Cold is not created.
Heat is moved.
Refrigerant absorbs heat inside a controlled space, carries it through compression, then rejects it outdoors. When refrigerant escapes, the system loses charge—and a climate-active gas enters the atmosphere.

LIVE CLIMATE IMPACT LAB
Make the invisible measurable.
Model a single asset or an entire portfolio. RefrigDNA converts daily mass loss into decision-grade CO₂e.
CO₂e = MASS RELEASED × GWP
DAILY CLIMATE SIGNAL0.095tCO₂e / day
CUMULATIVE IMPACT34.6metric tons CO₂e
PASSENGER VEHICLES≈ 7.5driven for one year

THE MOLECULE MATTERS
One pound released.
Radically different impact.
Annual CO₂e from a sustained one-pound-per-day leak. Hover or tap a refrigerant to compare.
REGULATORY CONVERGENCE
Different institutions.
One evidence problem.
The market is moving toward lower-GWP refrigerants, faster leak response, better records, and proof of performance.
85%
HFC phasedown target by 2036
The AIM Act reduces production and consumption of listed HFCs, accelerates technology transitions, and creates stronger incentives to prevent avoidable releases.
EPA source ↗THE MARKET IS ALREADY MOVING
The AIM Act targets an 85% HFC phasedown by 2036.
EPA’s allowance framework reduces HFC production and consumption in staged steps. The direction is fixed: lower-GWP technology, fewer avoidable releases, and stronger refrigerant discipline.

FOUR OUNCES A DAY BECOMES A FLEET
A quarter-pound R-410A leak equals 86.4 tCO₂e per year.

THE REFRIGDNA SOLUTION
Now turn the leak into evidence—and evidence into action.
THE LIVE REFRIGDNA DEMONSTRATION
2.45 lb/day of R-410A becomes 2.32 tCO₂e every day.
If sustained for one year, that modeled event reaches 846.9 metric tons CO₂e.

THE REFRIGDNA ADVANTAGE
Signal → estimate → action → verified outcome.
DETECT
Correlate temperature, vibration, acoustic and environmental channels.
→QUANTIFY
Estimate mass-loss range and translate it into sourced CO₂e.
→ROUTE
Start the deadline clock and send the technician the evidence.
→VERIFY
Confirm repair, preserve records and calculate avoided emissions.
One event. Four decision languages.
FACILITYWhere is the leak?Dispatch + uptime
COMPLIANCEWhat rule and deadline apply?Audit-ready evidence
SUSTAINABILITYHow much CO₂e is at risk?Verified avoided emissions
FINANCEWhat is the cost of delay?Portfolio risk visibility
THE PILOT PROVES THREE THINGS
Detection is necessary—but not sufficient.
Can we detect?
Sensitivity, specificity, false alarms, installation repeatability, and calibration drift.
Can teams act?
Time to acknowledge, dispatch, locate, repair, and verify closure.
Can we quantify?
Leak-rate uncertainty, sourced GWP, counterfactual baseline, and avoided tCO₂e.
THE GRANT CASE IS MEASURABLE
Fund the evidence standard—not another dashboard.
RefrigDNA can create a repeatable protocol for finding, repairing, and quantifying high-GWP leaks.

WHY REFRIGDNA WINS
It makes refrigerant loss legible before it becomes a report.
The advantage is the chain of custody from physical signal to climate and compliance outcome.
