Energy and global warming impacts of CFC alternative technologies for foam building insulations.

Author(s) : FISCHER S. K., FAIRCHILD P. D., HUGHES P. J.

Summary

Describes a study to identify alternative chemicals and technologies that could replace CFCs in energy-related applications before the year 2000 and to assess their total impact on global warming. Focuses on those aspects of the study relevant to building insulation. Finds that in general the HFC and HCFC alternatives for CFCs lead to large and sometimes dramatic reductions in total equivalent warming impact, lifetime equivalent carbon dioxide emissions.
