Advancing a net zero future
Future of HVAC Stream
The Future of HVAC stream focuses on how the HVAC&R industry is evolving to meet the urgent goal of net zero emissions. It examines innovations, policies, and strategies shaping the design, operation, and management of heating, ventilation, and cooling systems in buildings of all types.
About this stream
This stream highlights the role of HVAC systems in reducing carbon emissions and improving building performance. Presentations will explore electrification, renewable energy integration, and the adoption of low-GWP refrigerants as critical strategies for decarbonisation. Attendees will also learn about innovative system designs, smarter controls, and hybrid approaches that balance performance, comfort, and sustainability. Policy frameworks, incentives, and lifecycle analysis are discussed to guide the transition from concept to practical implementation.
Additionally, this stream examines the challenges and opportunities associated with retrofitting existing buildings to achieve net zero performance, emphasising resilience and adaptability in a changing climate. Experts provide real-world case studies and future-focused insights to help professionals align with global and national sustainability targets.
