Rationale: The IMAC GHG CRP was formed to establish procedures for performing an engineering analysis which can be used to comply with U.S. GHG and CAFE regulations which require “A”-to-“B” tesing of A/C efficiency credit technology beginning in 2020MY. This Recommended Practice documents the work done by the CRP in establishing procedures and performance thresholds for indirect A/C technologies from the pre-approved credit menu and documents the reccomended procedures to conduct the analysis.
