Energy Productivity, Data, Refrigerants Affecting Industry Businesses
NEW YORK — Danfoss hosted its 19th annual press briefing during the 2014 AHR Expo. This year’s press briefing included discussions of key trends, challenges, and opportunities impacting the HVACR industry, as well as two customer presentations. “Danfoss is uniquely positioned to support a transition period in climate change and energy efficiency,” said John Galyen, president, Danfoss North America.
Galyen opened by discussing three megatrends impacting industry: energy productivity, data, and refrigerants. He noted that the focus on energy productivity must include two components — efficiency and demand response, the latter of which is becoming increasingly important. He also discussed the proven technologies, like variable-speed compressors and advanced supermarket controls, that can support performance, efficiency, and energy productivity.
