EU Energy efficiency improvement targets strongly influence the HVAC market
Buildings are the largest consumers of energy today , and HVAC systems account for a significant portion of a building ’ s energy consumption . This is why the HVAC industry is a focus of European Environmental Policies . The F-Gas regulation addresses direct emissions while EPBD , EcoDesign and RES are directives focused on indirect greenhouse gas emissions by improving the efficiency of the HVAC systems and the buildings .
