AI-powered digital management software provider Benchmark Gensuite today announced updates to its refrigerant leak management system to support upcoming EPA regulations, which take effect Jan. 1, 2026.

Refrigerant Leak Manager, recently upgraded from ODS Sentinel to reflect broader refrigerant management practices and evolving industry standards, has been enabling sites since 2006 to track and manage regulated refrigerants under EPA standards.

The latest updates ahead of 2026 compliance changes ensure full alignment with federal refrigerant management requirements under the Clean Air Act Section 608 and the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act.

Benchmark Gensuite said these changes reinforce its commitment to providing best-practice systems for regulatory excellence and proactive environmental stewardship.

Updated thresholds automatically applied across systems

Refrigerant Leak Manager updates include:

  • Enhanced automation for revised leak rate thresholds for hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and their substitutes with a global warming potential greater than 53
  • New equipment-specific leak rate limits
  • Expanded refrigerant selection library

Benchmark Gensuite said these updates streamline compliance workflows, automatically apply updated regulatory thresholds, and help ensure consistent, worry-free compliance across all refrigerant systems.

“This update reflects our continued commitment to helping subscribers stay ahead of regulatory change,” said R. Mukund, Benchmark Gensuite CEO. “By embedding the 2026 EPA refrigerant requirements directly into our Refrigerant Leak Manager solution, we’re making compliance simpler, smarter, and more proactive - so organizations can focus on performance and sustainability with confidence.

Mukund added Genny AI capabilities will be introduced into Refrigerant Leak Manager in Q1 of 2026.

Benchmark Gensuite said these chances advance its broader vision for digitally-enabled compliance systems that support environmental responsibility and operational excellence, supported by AI, mobile, and analytics.

The company said it continuously enhances its digital management systems for EHS, ESG, and sustainability to reflect evolving regulatory requirements, providing subscribers compliance tools that stay current and ready for what’s next.
