EPA 608 Prep 5, Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and Global Warming Potential (GWP)

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - How Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) is measured against the baseline refrigerant R-11 and is driven by chlorine content. - How Global Warming Potential (GWP) is measured against Carbon Dioxide over 100 years and can be thousands of times higher for common HFC refrigerants. - The critical exam trap of confusing zero ODP with being environmentally safe, while ignoring a refrigerant's high GWP. - The specific ODP and GWP values for key refrigerants tested on the exam, including R-22, R-134a, R-410A, and R-1234yf. - A simple mnemonic to separate ODP (Ozone/Chlorine) from GWP (Global/CO2) to quickly answer exam questions correctly.
