Editor’s note F


The industry at a crossroads


ew industries sit at the intersection of environmental responsibility, regulatory scrutiny, and technological development quite like the HVAC industry. Whether it’s


tackling the risks posed by gas leaks, navigating the latest updates to the F-gas Regulations, or optimising systems for energy effi ciency,


HVAC professionals are having to deal with multiple demands a we try to shape a more sustainable future. T is issue explores the evolving landscape, from smart gas detection technology to


the impact of indoor air quality on economic value. With sustainability now a business imperative, forward-thinking businesses are starting to turn their attention inward, to ensure their own carbon credentials are as ‘green’ as the solutions they off er. As rising temperatures drive demand for precise climate control in all sectors,


warehouse operators and industrial leaders are also having to fi nd ways to strike the right balance between effi ciency and performance. Meanwhile, the decarbonisation of UK buildings remains central to meeting the 2050 net-zero target. Finally, in an exclusive interview, we sit down with Andy Taylor of Clivet UK to


refl ect on his tenure, the journey of the business and how the future looks. I hope you fi nd this issue informative and interesting.
