MembreECOS – Environmental Coalition on Standards
A non-profit organisation for environmental standards within the EU ECOS is a non-profit organisation working to ensure that standards, product ecological policies and labelling schemes reflect the societal perspective and take into account the environmental interests. ECOS’ work aims to combat climate change, foster energy and resource efficiency and protect environmental health. By fighting for environmental concerns to be included in standards, ECOS has contributed to improve the environmental performance of products during their whole life-cycle, warrant sound measurement methods for pollutants and energy-savings and ensure the provision of clear information to consumers towards sustainable consumption. …
2020Meilleures pratiquesProject: SuperSmart: EU-wide energy efficient and climate-friendly supermarkets
SuperSmart is an EU-wide project advancing the use of more energy efficient refrigeration, heating and cooling appliances in Europe’s supermarkets by addressing all stakeholders involved in driving the uptake of more climate-friendly food retail stores. SuperSmart has 3 main objectives: to remove non-technological barriers to efficient heating & cooling in the EU food retails sector, training to raise the expertise level for energy-friendly supermarkets among (non-) technical staff, and to support the introduction of a new EU Ecolabel for food retails stores. The project is funded by the EU under the Horizon 220 Innovation Framework Programme. The consortium consists of 9 European partners from the fields of research, analysis, training, dissemination and network-building. …

2020Meilleures pratiquesTraining: Training programme for Iraqi refrigeration experts
Casale Monferrato, Italy, September 2016 – A group of Iraqi HVAC&R experts receive specialized training on the safe use natural refrigerants in domestic and commercial refrigeration. The training was hosted as a joint effort between Centro Studio Galileo and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and funded by the Multilateral Fund (MLF). During the week of theoretical and practical training, including field visits, the Iraqi experts gained the necessary skills and knowledge to support the introduction of hydrocarbon and low global warming potential refrigerants in the domestic and commercial refrigeration sectors. The training is part of Iraq’s national strategy for phasing out hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) while reducing dependency on high-GWP refrigerants. The participants were certified after successful completion of the course, such that they are now responsible for conducting training courses for local Iraqi engineers and technicians. Centro Studi Galileo and UNEP have worked together for over 10 years to build the capacity of technicians in developing countries and to support the introduction of local certification schemes for refrigeration technicians. …
MembreCentro Studi Galileo
Leading training institute for refrigeration and air conditioning experts. For 40 years, Centro Studi Galileo (CSG) has been organising training courses, seminars and conferences in the field of refrigeration, air conditioning and renewable energy in support of Green Jobs, the Green Economy and the Green New Deal. Centro Studi Galileo has received the support of the Italian Ministry of the Environment, Foreign Affairs, Economic Development and of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers for these activities. Centro Studi Galileo, in cooperation with the United Nations Environment Programme, the International Institute of Refrigeration (Paris) and the leading International Association of Refrigeration and Air conditioning (AREA) periodically organises conferences on the latest technologies in the air conditioning and refrigeration industry. During these events, particular importance is given to F-gas reduction, new alternative refrigerants and systems and new European and International regulations and standards. The International conferences have been organised biennially since 1983. Centro Studi Galileo also publishes the International Special Issue (ISI) of Industria & Formazione namely ISI 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2012/13.The magazine is published with UNEP and IIR, with an introduction from the UN Under-Secretary General, Achim Steiner, and the Italian Minister of the Environment. ISI has been distributed at the Climate change summits in Bangkok, New Delhi, Cancun and Doha and the summits of the Montreal protocol in Durban, Copenhagen and Geneva. At the summits, ISI was disseminated to the Ministers and Heads of State of the countries participating. …
2020Meilleures pratiquesPolicymaking: The Australian Refrigeration Association stirs up the Federal Department of the Environment
The Australian Refrigeration Association (ARA) is preparing its third submission to the Federal Department of the Environment regarding the Review of the Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gases Management Act (OPSGG MA). In its previous 2 submissions, ARA was supported by over 70 of the leading cooling and refrigeration organizations. Now ARA is calling upon the public to show its support for the third submission. The submissions focuses on the reduced use of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants. ARA estimates that the transition to natural refrigerants may reduce the cost of HVACR services in Australia by up to $10 B per annum, and reduce national GHG emissions by 7%. ARA is encouraging individuals to write a unique response about why they believe the Federal Department of Environment should prioritize this thematic. The key recommendations include: Banning the use of HFC’s in new vapour compression systems with a charge >5 kg by 2025. Compulsory use of low GWP refrigerants in all new vapour compression systems with a charge <0.150 kg by 2025. The introduction of a series of mechanisms to deliver minimum energy efficiency benchmarking, skills based refrigeration licensing (as opposed to refrigerant based licensing), alignment of WH&S legislation making state and federal WH&S legislation nationally consistent. …
2020Meilleures pratiquesPolicymaking: The Natural Voice- A global call to reduce greenhouse gases by natural refrigerants
Introduced by Shecco in 2009, the Natural Voice is a global statement open to industry, associations, non-profit organizations and individuals supporting the potential of natural refrigerants in replacing potent greenhouse gases. At present, the Natural Voice has 109 signatories from a range of sectors and industries. The statement will be presented to national governments and international climate negotiators in the near future to build the basis for developing natural refrigerant initiatives around the world. The Natural Voice demands national governments to remove (inter)national trade barriers and to revise safety standards, codes and legislation that restrict the use of natural refrigerants without merit. Furthermore, it calls upon national governments to provide (non-) financial support for the research and promotion of natural refrigerants, and to facilitate the technology transfer from developed to developing countries. …
2020Meilleures pratiquesSeminar: Seminar on the heating, ventilation and air conditioning sectors in Sydney, 2015
November 2015: The Australian Refrigeration Association (ARA) hosted a two-day seminar in Sydney to explore the possible contributions of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVACR) industry in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Industrial, commercial and residential HVACR stakeholders were invited to an intensive two-day program highlighting the transition of the Australian HVACR industry to energy efficiency and emissions reduction. The ARA has estimated that Australia has the potential to reduce its HVACR energy bill and operating costs by over $10 B per annum and reducing national GHG emissions by 7% from the HVACR sector alone. The seminar addressed key issues impacting the Australian HVACR industry, providing stakeholders an opportunity to gain accurate information in the following areas: Exploring emerging HVACR energy efficient technologies and solutions Identifying and appreciating energy efficiency and GHG emissions reduction Quantifying and Recognising the value of integrated energy efficient engineering Recognising the regulatory requirements to shift to low GWP refrigerants Safety, risk and education – handling and implementing low GWP natural refrigerants …
