MILL VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The North American Sustainable Refrigeration Council (NASRC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working to advance climate-friendly natural refrigerants in supermarkets, announces new Titanium Member, City Building Engineering Services (CBES). Headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts, CBES is a leading integrated professional services and sustainability company serving the nation’s top retailers and food retailers.
“CBES’s decision to join NASRC at the highest level demonstrates their alignment with our mission and commitment to driving progress for the supermarket industry,” said Danielle Wright, NASRC executive director. “We’re thrilled to have them and look forward to leveraging their expertise for positive change.”

Amidst escalating regulatory pressures and corporate sustainability initiatives, the supermarket refrigeration industry faces a pivotal shift from hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants—super-polluting greenhouse gases. Natural refrigerants like CO2, ammonia and propane have zero or near-zero global warming potential, making them climate-friendly, future-proof alternatives.
However, upfront costs and service readiness challenge their widespread adoption in US supermarkets. NASRC collaborates with the industry to overcome these barriers through solutions like workforce development, funding support and education.
As the newest Titanium member, CBES supports NASRC at the highest level, demonstrating its strong commitment to advancing solutions for the industry.
