Environmental Sustainability
Our innovative technology and over 100 years of expertise across cooling, heating and refrigeration help our customers achieve their sustainability goals.
The planet’s electricity demands and complex global food supply chain require our innovative technology and deep industry knowledge to deliver more sustainable outcomes. Through our technology, we are delivering over 4 billion kWh of annual energy savings. That’s 7 billion fewer miles driven each year.
Electrify Heating, Cooling & Refrigeration
Commercial and residential buildings are responsible for 13% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the U.S. alone - primarily due to the fossil fuels burned to generate heat and hot water.1 To counter this, home and business owners are shifting to electric heat pump systems for their HVAC needs instead of fossil fuel systems.
Copeland's compression technology enables heat pumps to provide a sustainable alternative to traditional heating and cooling systems. Our unique blend of system expertise, deep customer relationships and innovative technology allows us to be the company to deliver heat pump compression technology to the world.
We’re also enabling decarbonization in the refrigerated transportation sector, helping electrify fossil fuel-powered refrigeration systems and air conditioners with our leading scroll compression technology.
Eliminate Food Waste
It is estimated that 40% of all food produced globally is wasted 2, accounting for 8-10% of GHG emissions worldwide. With our refrigeration expertise and extensive monitoring solutions, we are uniquely positioned to help our customers eliminate food waste and deliver a more sustainable cold chain end-to-end.
That’s why from farm to fork, our controls, software, monitoring, and compressor innovations deliver efficient performance and the end-to-end insights needed to protect perishable food in the cold chain.
Build a Clean, Resilient Power Grid
Electricity demand is expected to be 2X supply by 2050 3. Our current power grid is too outdated, taxed, and rigid to flex demand in real-time. We help our customers more effectively manage their energy use with grid-connected assets that respond dynamically to grid signals, consuming, generating, or storing electricity as needed.
Our residential and commercial energy management and monitoring systems like our Sensi™ smart thermostats and ProAct™ supermarket facility monitoring controls allow us to help our customers implement more energy-efficient solutions to their homes and businesses.
Vilter compression technology generates usable energy from methane waste gas to renewable natural gas (RNG). These compressors are engineered to meet the extreme operating conditions and expectations demanded by customers.
