Editor’s note ‘G
Welcome to the Green Matters special edition
reen’ is no longer word for niche products or a niceties that only the affl uent can aff ord – it’s now woven into every aspect of our lives with driving forces such as
legislation constantly evolving to push us all to look aſt er and improve the environment. In principle, every single issue of this
journal looks at ‘greenness’ in the industry, so is it still worth highlighting? T e answer is of course yes, because as far as we’ve come, there’s still so much further to go. People’s needs are rapidly changing. Julien Soulet of Honeywell looks at homeowners
who will be eager to stay cool, and Alexis Roberts of Diff usion explains how modular fan coil design is important to commercial building owners. HVAC technologies are helping data centres become smarter and greener, according
to Aermec’s Andy Hawes, while Simon Brady of Vertiv discusses the potential of liquid cooling, and Tom Blundy of Keysource explains how a new service combining virtual IT, CFD modelling and confi guration can help datacentre designers and operators to assess their current facilities. Matteo Dall’Ombra of Daikin, explores what key measures F-gas includes and
why transitioning to more sustainable refrigerants is crucial for the industry and the population in general, whie Dan Smith of Mitsubishi Electric examines the case for one clear net zero standard for buildings. Miriam Rodway of the Institute of Refrigeration reveals exactly what the TICR project
is and why it’s important, while Andre Paz Rosa of Nidec Global Appliance looks at components integration as the path toward decarbonisation in the cooling sector. I hope you fi nd this issue informative and interesting!
