HANNOVER, Germany - Greenhouse gases are of such a concern in Europe that the German government wants such emissions reduced 21 percent by 2012 compared with 1990. Other countries are also seeking similar curbs.
One way the HVACR industry is doing its part in the effort is the creation of more efficient heating and cooling equipment. Ways to do that were explored in a symposium held the day prior to the opening of the International Trade Fair for Refrigeration, Air Conditioning, and Ventilation (IKK). The seminar was organized by the Information Centre on Heat Pumps and Refrigeration (IZW), and more than 125 participants from throughout the world were in attendance.
