Few aspects of modern living are untouched by modern refrigeration and air conditioning. Businesses, commercial operations, manufacturing processes, storage and shipping operate under controlled-temperature conditions. New environmental protection agency (EPA) amendments to the clean air act have changed air conditioning and refrigeration so dramatically that HVAC/R services require new equipment, new procedures, new refrigerants and even new attitudes. The HVAC/R technology program addresses all the new EPA regulations and is designed to assist students entering an academic path in preparation for careers such as heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers (49-9021) **
