Locus Unveils Refrigerant Management Software Aligned with the EPA’s Final Rule on Hydrofluorocarbon Phasedown
Locus’s cloud-based software helps organizations comply with stricter requirements
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., October 29, 2024 —Locus Technologies, the sustainability and Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) compliance software leader, today announced the release of Locus Refrigerant Management software, the cloud-based, mobile-friendly product that generates exceedance alerts, facilitates leak detection, and automates response protocols in addition to providing comprehensive tracking of fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and substitutes like hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). The software empowers companies to manage complex refrigerant phasedowns with accuracy and confidence, ultimately avoiding excessive emissions. The software also positions Locus clients to comply with tougher US federal regulations taking effect 14 months from now and to easily adapt as US and EU rules evolve in the future.
On September 20, 2024, EPA Administrator, Michael S. Regan, signed the final rule Phasedown of Hydrofluorocarbons: Management of Certain Hydrofluorocarbons and Substitutes under of the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act which indicates tougher requirements will be phased in starting January 1, 2026. Refrigerants are the most potent of greenhouse gases, with some varieties having a global warming potential hundreds and even thousands of times greater than CO2. Even small leaks pack a big punch on the environment, which is why stricter regulations are emerging.
“These next 12 months will be critical for companies to articulate their refrigerant management plans, train their technicians, and adopt technology that will help them avoid costly errors and get this right,” said Mark Harbin, veteran refrigerant compliance expert and Locus product designer. “Locus is pleased to bring to market refrigerant management software as well as refrigerant management training and certification to help each client manage the phase down and transition successfully.”
Immediate regulatory priorities include detecting leaks and resolving them within mandated timeframes; comprehensive record keeping of equipment, inspections, refrigerant inventories, and rates of use; and meticulously disposing and reclaiming used refrigerants. Locus Refrigerant Management software simplifies these challenges. Locus manages everything from service records to cylinder barcodes and automatically alerts users when any dates or datapoints are out of compliance. Immediate notifications and dynamic dashboards deliver real-time insights, and the software’s fully configurable components flex to future demands.
“Refrigeration and air conditioning cause up to 10 percent of global carbon emissions, and the leaks alone produce more carbon than all the air travel worldwide, which is why waiting on periodic reports pulled from static refrigerant databases just won’t cut it,” said Wes Hawthorne, President of Locus Technologies. “Locus software enables clients to act quickly; the software immediately alerts users of potential problems with their equipment so that issues can be resolved before becoming disastrous.”
Locus Refrigerant Management is one of several integrated applications available in Locus software. Other Locus offerings include EHS risk and compliance, sustainable construction, waste management, water quality, incident management, ESG reporting, and robust environmental data management software. This collection of specialized and unified SaaS applications enables clients to manage every facet of refrigerant management and environmental data in one place.

Locus’ Sustainable Construction Software Aligns with New US EPA Label Program for Low Embodied Carbon Construction Materials
Locus Simplifies Reporting for Buy Clean Programs and Embodied Carbon Emissions
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., August 27, 2024 —Locus Technologies, the sustainability and Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) compliance software leader, today announced that its Sustainable Construction application is compatible with Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), including those that will be produced and enriched during Phase 1 of the US EPA labeling program that was announced earlier this month. The EPA program will enable purchasers to easily identify and procure verified low embodied carbon construction materials and cite the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of a single unit of the material, as recorded in the EPD. Construction contractors connect the EPDs for their selected materials, spanning multiple product categories such as steel, glass, concrete, asphalt, and discrete mixes, into Locus software, along with data pertaining to the quantity of each material that enters the construction site. Locus calculates the emissions across infinite EPDs and quantity-records to effectively track the environmental impact of building and transportation projects, and to easily demonstrate compliance with low carbon targets.
“Our clients are accurate and credible in every environmental, health, safety, and sustainability pursuit, including clean construction,” said Wes Hawthorne, President of Locus. “Considering the magnitude of construction projects, especially those for government infrastructure, there may be big differences between the predicted emissions in the design phase, and the actual reporting that comes directly from tracking EPDs and verified material quantities.”
The significance, volume, and quality of EPDs is expected to grow subsequent to the EPA labeling program. Locus Sustainable Construction software supports several API integrations, empowering contractors to source EPDs directly from the EC3 database or the EPA’s future EPD and labeling registry. The software also helps to “simplify the process for specifiers and contractors to track compliance with directives to procure and use these materials and products,” as outlined in the EPA announcement, and to demonstrate the cumulative impacts. Locus manages this data across individual infrastructure projects or a portfolio of development sites.
“While the rollouts of the EPA label program will focus on A1 to A3 stages of a Life Cycle Assessment, Locus software is designed with flexibility to manage GHG and other EPD data from your choice of endpoints: Cradle to Gate, Cradle to Laid, and Cradle to Grave,” said Dorian Bailey, former Chief of Clean Construction for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and the current Customer Success Director at Locus Technologies. “Net zero ambitions are generally limited to operational carbon, like a building’s energy use, so we are pleased to help A/E and Construction Contractors simplify the work of reducing embodied carbon as well.”
Locus Sustainable Construction is one of several integrated applications available in Locus software. Other Locus offerings include EHS risk and compliance, waste management, water quality, incident management, ESG reporting, and robust environmental data management software. This collection of specialized tools enables clients to manage every facet of sustainable construction and environmental data in one place.

Locus Technologies Successfully Completes SOC 1 and SOC 2 Audits
Locus becomes the only EHS Software provider with both valid verifications of its financials, operations, and security
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 30, 2024 —Locus Technologies, the only science-driven software company at the nexus of sustainability and Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) compliance, today announced the successful completion of its Type 2 SOC 1® and Type 2 SOC 2® audits as of July 5, 2024, for the period of July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024. The company considers these more rigorous “type 2” audits and the subsequent third-party attestation reports to be further evidence of its leadership, integrity, and security in the EHS software and ESG reporting markets.
The SOC 1 and SOC 2 audits were conducted by leading compliance assessor A-LIGN, a technology-enabled security and compliance partner trusted by more than 2,500 global organizations to help mitigate cybersecurity risks.
“Organizations are drowning in ‘Big-environmental-Data’ and inadequate spreadsheets and home-built databases, so they are eager to move to an EHS Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) they can trust,” said Neno Duplan, Founder and CEO of Locus. “Our Type 2 SOC 1 and Type 2 SOC 2 verifications give companies the confidence they need to make the move to Locus, especially amid cybersecurity threats and an unstable climate of corporate consolidation in the EHS and ESG software markets. Locus remains independent—and independently verified.”
By adhering to the stringent requirements of System and Organization Controls (SOC) audits, Locus demonstrates its commitment to protecting sensitive customer data against cyber threats and operational failures. This builds trust with customers, assuring them that their data is secure and managed according to the highest industry standards and helps Locus comply with various regulatory requirements.
“Locus prides itself on helping customers be accurate and credible in their environmental, health, and safety monitoring and reporting. This is particularly true for ESG reporting where greenwashing is clouding the credibility of reporting. Earning current third-party validation of our own processes is an important way to demonstrate our credibility in the market,” continued Duplan.
Established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), SOC 1 is an examination of controls at a service organization that are likely to be relevant to user entities’ internal control over financial reporting; the SOC 2 examination is designed for organizations of any size, regardless of industry and scope, to ensure the personal assets of their potential and existing customers are protected. SOC reports are recognized globally and affirm that a company’s infrastructure, software, people, data, policies, financials, procedures, and operations have been formally reviewed.
“Congratulations to Locus Technologies for completing their SOC 1 and SOC 2 audits, a widely recognized signal of trust and security,” said Steve Simmons, COO of A-LIGN. “It’s great to work with organizations like Locus who understand the value of expertise in driving an efficient audit and the importance of a high-quality final report.”
