Scope 1 Emissions Reduction: Why All Eyes Are On Heat Pump Technology
Presented Wednesday, October 23, 2024, at 2 PM ET
Institutions with sustainability goals that include a transition from direct fossil fuel usage (Scope 1 emissions) are increasingly adopting heat pump technology as a low-carbon solution for heating and cooling requirements. Heat pumps, which are nearly a 100-year-old technology, provide ultra-high-efficiency cooling and enable heating requirements to be met with the same high-efficiency technology.
The outcome is reduced operational expenses and reduced electrical capacity requirements relative to traditional electrical resistance heating technology. Join Trane to learn more about this technology, how it dovetails with corporate sustainability commitments, and a future outlook on technology capabilities.
Key Takeaways:
- Learn how and why heat pump technology can support emissions reduction goals
- Understand key differences, benefits, and drawbacks of heat pump technology relative to other heating and cooling technologies
- Explore a framework for how to evaluate and integrate heat pump technology into your decarbonization program
- Get insights from real examples of emissions reduction projects that leverage heat pump technology
Unlocking Chiller Plant Efficiency Gains with Digital Twin Technology
Presented September 25, 2024
Is an underperforming central chilled water system costing you money?
Your central plant cooling system can account for more than 50% of your facility's electricity use, so its performance has a significant impact on your bottom line. Unfortunately, many chilled water systems operate far below peak efficiency, often due to flawed system design, deferred maintenance, and inefficient operations.
These issues not only waste energy but also reduce equipment life and occupant comfort. With commercial electricity prices continuing to rise and peak demand charges taking up an increasing portion of your utility bills, chilled water system efficiency is more important than ever.
Join this informational webinar with Siemens experts to learn how to address these challenges head-on by optimizing system performance without large capital investments. You’ll hear real-life case studies from companies that have saved energy and extended the life of their equipment by deploying an optimization methodology supported by a cloud-based digital twin.
In this 60-minute webinar, you will learn:
- The anatomy of a chilled water system and hidden issues that can impact operational efficiency
- The role of the Digital Twin in optimizing performance – and how it differs from traditional Fault Detection & Diagnosis (FDD)
- Successful case studies and customer results
- Strategies for maintaining peak efficiency over time
