MemberCool Up: Upscaling Sustainable Cooling
The Cool Up: Upscaling Sustainable Cooling programme promotes accelerated technological change in cooling demand reduction, and early implementation of the Kigali Amendment and Paris Agreement. Cool Up focuses on Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey as these countries are experiencing fast-growing demand for cooling, increasing final energy consumption, and structural challenges in the energy sector. They also have high potential to boost energy efficiency and increase the use of natural refrigerants in the cooling and refrigeration sector. The goal of the Cool Up programme is to create catalytic change within the refrigeration and air conditioning sector by reducing cooling demand, supporting the phase-down of hydrofluorocarbons, replacing and safely disposing inefficient cooling appliances and refrigerants, and improving cooling appliance operation, training, and awareness. Cool Up’s holistic approach addresses these issues across three themes: policy and regulatory support, development of business and financing models, and increased awareness and market uptake of sustainable cooling technologies. The approach is supplemented by implementation-focused partnerships and building hands-on capacity to enable local and regional stakeholders. Cool Up is led by Guidehouse Germany GmbH. The team includes Frankfurt School, ILK Dresden, Öko-Recherche, United Nations Development Programme, Regional Center for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, Istanbul Aydin University, Integrated Development Group, Lebanese Center for Energy Conservation, and Royal Scientific Society. Cool Up is part of the International Climate Initiative (IKI). The Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) supports this initiative on the basis of a decision adopted by the German Bundestag. …

Tabreed is a refrigeration and HVAC repair and installation services company. We focus on new technologies which reduce energy costs and protect our environment, like CO2 and propane. …
Best practicePrototype and Test
When you have a new idea or want to improve system performance, first use simulation to evaluate if the idea will work. When design results are promising, take the concept to the lab for initial prototyping and testing. Such work can help inform proper component selection, controls settings, and system integration considerations. …
Best practiceDesign Optimization
Many times we find that products are designed to meet quick timelines, rushing to achieve the best performance possible in as short an engineering cycle as can be obtained. This often leads to a "trial and error" approach. Mathematically rigorous optimization can find a LOT of room for improvement - and doesn't have to be time consuming or delay product development cycles. Leveraging the right approach and software can make a big difference in achieving greater product performance. …
MemberOptimized Thermal Systems, Inc.
Optimized Thermal Systems was founded in 2002, with the goal to provide crucial heat transfer and system integration expertise to the industry specifically in the areas of air-conditioning, heat pumping, refrigeration and energy conversion. Having roots with faculty and research at the University of Maryland, our main office in Beltsville, MD includes comprehensive laboratory facilities. Our goal is to be your reliable, experienced partner in heat transfer, product innovation and system integration.

MemberColruyt Group
Colruyt Group is one of the largest retailers in Belgium, with around 29,000 employees and over 500 shops. Since 2014, the supermarket chain has been using 100% natural refrigerants in all its new refrigeration systems. This means that in Belgium, the company will emit 11 % less CO2 compared to its total CO2 emissions in 2015. …
Best practiceLiquid ice containers for refrigerated transport
Since 2016, Colruyt has been transporting its fresh products in self-developed refrigerated containers. The Liquid Ice Containers (LIC) keep the products cool with liquid ice and are 73% more climate-friendly than the classic refrigerated containers that use CO2. Colruyt has recently started to use even more eco-friendly liquid ice containers for the transport of frozen products to the shops. Liquid ice is a frozen but liquid mixture of water and ethanol or salt. The refrigerant with minuscule grains of ice has a much lower climate impact than the current alternatives. …
Best practicePropane compact chillers for commercial cooling
Colruyt Group choose propane compact chillers as the standard solution for commercial cooling in its' food shops in Belgium and Luxembourg. Cold brine (MPG) is used to distribute cold to the refrigerated cabinets and the cold rooms. The condenser is being cooled with the same MPG, so the heat is released outside with drycoolers or the waste heat is used to heat the shop. This layout allows for a very low refrigerant content of under 4,3 kg. The ventilated enclosure design means that no ATEX zoning exists outside the chiller. The connections are made with fast release flexible couplings, thus allowing redundancy and quick exchange of a chiller when it is broken. This reduces pressure on the internal maintenance team, which add to the safety of the solution. …
MemberCameroon Ministry of Environment, Nature Protection and Sustainable Developmen
For twenty years, the protection of nature and sustainable development, have the attention of Cameroonian public authorities. Indeed, these two notions have not always been present in the political discourse. The actual consideration of environmental issues by the Government is based on the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) or 1992 Rio Summit. It is the starting point for a new dynamic in the national environmental policy. From then on, environment and sustainable development will be an integral part of public policies in Cameroon. …
