Suggested guests: Zilong Zhao and Bruno Yuji Kimura de Carvalho.
Why it matters: Selection changes can affect system design rather than just a catalogue line. Their ASHRAE episode discusses next-generation refrigerants in heat-pump design.
Good answer should cover: What must be known about the complete system, equipment listing, performance conditions, intended application and approval responsibilities. Keep the discussion tied to the relevant equipment category rather than generalising from one design.
Follow-up: “Which information can software collect reliably, and which conclusions need a qualified reviewer?”
Evidence to request: Manufacturer documentation and a bounded example the experts are authorised to discuss. Do not reproduce restricted standards or imply that the episode itself supplies installation approval.
Expert quote: Awaiting interview and publication approval.
