HVAC
Construction accounts for 36% of global energy consumption and 39% of carbon emissions. Fortunately, the design of HVAC systems offer an enormous untapped potential for improving the climate impact of our buildings. Whether it’s about more efficient solutions that reduce energy and water consumption, or the phasing out of refrigerants with high global warming potential (GWP), there is much we can do already today.
Alfa Laval is a trusted supplier within all HVAC and refrigeration sectors. Our broad portfolio of plate heat exchanger technologies, developed with nearly 90 years of experience, form the core of the market’s most modern, most efficient HVAC systems in a wide range of applications. We are even home to some of the industry’s foremost experts in optimizing systems for use with natural and low-GWP refrigerants. If you’re looking to improve efficiency, contact us today to learn how a partnership with Alfa Laval can accelerate the sustainability of your HVAC solutions.
Energy efficiency in a cost-effective and sustainable way
Are you looking to improve the energy efficiency of your HVAC system? Listen to Enrico Dall’Armellina, Product Manager at Alfa Laval for brazed plate heat exchangers, to learn about the unique innovations that we have developed to enable unparalleled thermal efficiency in our solutions. Thanks to these designs, we can cost-effectively reduce energy consumption within a small unit footprint.
See the numbers: HVAC energy efficiency potential
Did you know that the buildings and construction sector accounts for 36% of global energy consumption and 39% of global CO2 emissions? Today, however, we have the technology to greatly reduce these numbers. A heat pump, for example, is four times more efficient than a boiler for heating residential and commercial building, enabling incredible potential to shrink energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Imagine if we replaced all of today’s residential and commercial HVAC boilers with efficient heat pumps. The annual energy savings would be 230 TWh. That’s the same amount of electricity as consumed every year in all of Spain!
