ust over two years ago, the UK government established its goals to reduce carbon emissions 78% by 2035 compared to 1990 levels. It’s clear the world drastically needs to reduce carbon emissions to help curb the impact of climate change. HVAC – heating, ventilation, air conditioning – is the one solution that many ignore. But when 40% of total UK carbon emissions come from the heating and cooling of buildings, it’s hard to ignore the impact these systems have on our planet, especially when many are run entirely on fossil fuels. However, a revolution is on its way.
