LANSDALE, Pa. — The Climate Protection Partnership division of the U.S. EPA will be partnering with the Mobile Air Conditioning Society (MACS) Worldwide for monthly informational Webinars focused on informing the mobile A/C community on environmental best practices for servicing mobile A/C systems and demystifying current and proposed regulations.
