Systems using R22 gas will either have to be modified or replaced by new air-conditioning equipment.
Replacing the existing chillers and other parts of the air-conditioning system with new equipment is going to be the most likely option for most commercial buildings.
Whether a system is modified or replaced creates potential problems for both landlords and tenants. Also, can the landlord recover the costs through service charges or will the tenant bear direct responsibility? This will depend on the wording of each individual lease.
