Rôle de l'industrie du chauffage, de la ventilation, du conditionnement d'air et du froid vis-à-vis des changements climatiques.

Global climate change and the HVACR industry.

Auteurs : BUSCH F. P.

Résumé

The HVACR industry will play an important role in helping to achieve the objective of stabilization of greenhouse gas (GHG) concentration. Since HVACR equipment uses a substantial amount of electric power, much of which is generated through the combustion of fossil fuels, striving to maximize the energy efficiency of the equipment can result in greater GHG emission savings than even the direct emission potential of the refrigerants. Though a currently small contributor to overall greenhouse gas emissions, the HVACR industry is working hard to control emissions of these refrigerants by reducing system leaks, and recovering and recycling HFCs during servicing and at the end of equipment life; a concept known as responsible use. HFCs, used responsibly, can contribute to meeting climate protection goals by maximizing energy efficiency while also meeting HVACR system comfort, safety and reliability goals.
