U.S. production of CFCs stopped in 1996, although there was no hard cutoff date for manufacture or installation of CFC-based equipment. So if your building was built in the late 1990s or later, your HVAC systems are less likely to contain CFCs and you are

U.S. production of CFCs stopped in 1996, although there was no hard cutoff date for manufacture or installation of CFC-based equipment. So if your building was built in the late 1990s or later, your HVAC systems are less likely to contain CFCs and you are a step ahead with this prerequisite. However, it’s still a good idea to inventory all equipment to verify the refrigerant information, especially if you’re not completely sure. You’ll need that data to document the credit, anyway.
