Harnessing Heat: The Tech Solution For Cooler Buildings

Healthy Spaces

Show Notes

Buildings are responsible for more than a third of global energy consumption and emissions, with much of that energy use attributed to day-to-day heating and cooling needs. The challenge to meet ambitious sustainability targets means addressing the impact of the buildings. But, could they present the biggest opportunity of all?

In this episode, we speak to Jose La Loggia, Group President EMEA at Trane Technologies, and Stan Van Hastenberg, Sustainability Lead at Organon, a global pharmaceutical company focused on women's health.

We discuss the ins-and-outs of thermal management systems, the complexities of energy transitions, and how sustainable heating and cooling innovations can contribute to a net-zero future.
