As part of the activities EPEE and its members are undertaking to raise awareness on sustainable cooling, EPEE will launch a broader #CountOnCooling campaign.
The EPEE White Paper “Count on Cooling: A five-step approach to deliver sustainable cooling” examines the crucial role of cooling in the 21st Century.
This publication describes important steps that can be undertaken to deliver sustainable cooling, including examples of how the EU policy framework has already taken steps forward and an analysis of the remaining challenges. A 5-step approach is proposed to (1) optimise the need for cooling, (2) improve the energy and resource efficiency of cooling equipment, (3) mitigate the climate impact of refrigerants, (4) address the investment cost for higher efficiency solutions, (5) shift to renewable energy sources with an integrated approach to cooling and heating of individual buildings or whole cities.
