“We believe in the mission to provide high-efficiency, climate-friendly, and accessible cooling products to markets around the world,” said Dave Regnery, president of Ingersoll Rand’s Commercial HVAC business for North America, Europe, Middle East and Africa. “Nearly half of the world’s energy is used in industrial, commercial, and residential buildings, with the HVAC and lighting systems being the greatest opportunity for improvement. We believe Ingersoll Rand can make a difference by helping building owners address this critical issue.”

Ingersoll Rand also committed to reducing GHG emissions from its operations by 35 percent by 2020. A central strategy for achieving these targets is applying energy services and building automation systems from its Trane Building Advantage brand to improve the efficiency of its own facilities with high-efficiency, smart, and climate friendly building energy management systems and Trane cooling equipment.

The ACC was designed to urge governments, companies, and other stakeholders to make, sell, or install super-efficient air conditioner or cooling solutions that are smart, climate-friendly, and affordable. The challenge was created as a call to action, recognizing that access to cooling improves health, productivity, economic growth, and education.
