Heating, cooling and buildings

Heating, cooling, and building sectors are the major contributors to global emissions. Our mission is to achieve f-gas-free cooling across all stages of the cold chain and to drive the building sector towards decarbonization, encompassing residential, commercial, and industrial domains.

We empower nations and institutions with comprehensive policy and technical advisories to unlock the vast GHG mitigation potential within these sectors, guiding the creation and execution of low-carbon strategies.

Our Services

  • Crafting HCFC and HFC phase-out guidelines and roadmaps in alignment with the Montreal Protocol.
  • Generating robust greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventories compliant with IPCC methodology
  • Building national and sectoral mitigation pathways
  • Formulating National Cooling Action Plans (NCAP)
  • Establishing and refining Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) and eco-labels for cooling appliances
  • Installing robust Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) frameworks to track progress and impact
  • Assisting in legislative processes to foster eco-friendly technologies through laws, regulations and standards
  • Developing specialized training programmes for professionals in the HVACR industry and servicing sector.
  • Conducting technical assessments and feasibility studies to inform project viability
