Better Resources, Fewer Resources: Emerson’s Contribution to Environmental Conservation
Emerson is leading the way in advances in heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR) that help to protect our environment. We’re delivering equipment and home automation solutions that significantly reduce HVACR energy consumption, and we’re helping both commercial and residential customers to move toward refrigerants that minimize environmental impact.
Our Copeland Scroll UltraTechTM compressors can help to reduce energy consumption by one-third or more in air-conditioning units. Our award-winning variable speed compressors deliver new levels of cooling and heating efficiency and comfort for residential air conditioners and heat pumps. This innovation is making a big impact: Homeowners can save up to 40 percent on annual energy costs.
We deliver efficient systems with multi-speed solutions and modulation as well as advanced system controls, through our Retail Solutions business and ProActTM software, which enable grocery stores to manage temperature control and refrigeration units with pinpoint accuracy. We also enable customers to design and develop ultra-efficient buildings, delivering systems that support green building certifications like LEED and Net Zero, while maximizing ventilation and air quality.
While the industry is in the midst of a transition to more sustainable refrigerants, the simple truth is that there is no single refrigerant solution that meets all applications with minimal environmental impact. To determine the best refrigerant for a given HVACR solution, we must evaluate its performance, including energy requirements, as well as the climate impact and investment.
