As per the Clean Energy Regulator<\/a>, global warming potential (GWP) values allow us to compare the impact of different greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Eden Suite uses GWP values for calculating emissions for greenhouse gases related to activities with hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) (such as medical gases and refrigerants).<\/p>\n

Many of the medical gases and refrigerants have alternate names they are referenced by; some are blends composed of multiple gases.<\/p>\n

The following table provides some of those composition percentages and alternate names for reference.<\/p>\n
