HRAI reported last month on ongoing discussions with Québec’s Ministry of the Environment and the Fight Against Climate Change, advocating on behalf of members for the exclusion of ductless equipment from the application of a new regulation that will mandate recovery and reclamation of end-of-life products by manufacturers.
With the support of manufacturer members and stakeholders residing in Québec, HRAI provided the Ministry with expert technical reports and data in support of the argument that installed ductless heat pumps (like other HVAC systems) are an intrinsic part of a building and should be recognized as “an integral part of an immovable to ensure its usefulness or facilitate its use within the meaning of article 901 of the Civil Code of Québec.”
