Can protecting the environment be reconciled with our

industrialised society? Yes, today this is possible.
Indeed, this is the concept of sustainable development: improving the quality of the life,
without overloading the supporting ecosystems that it depends on, now made possible by
progresses in technology.
While until recently sustainable development was simply a desire, a cost and an obligation
defined by legislators so as to bequeath a healthy planet to future generations, today it is the
only plausible choice. Changing public awareness continues to focus on the more worthy
companies, rewarding these with higher sales. A need has thus become an opportunity,
a chance not to be missed to unite the need to develop products and services that save
energy with the possibility to effectively reduce environmental impact.

To encourage sustainable development, many activities are underway as concerns both the
environmental policies of individual nations and international organisations (above all the
European Union), and specific research and development work.

Today, then, solutions to combat global warming and pollution, to live a sustainable
existence, to make our cities more liveable and our factories more efficient and virtuous all
exist: the technology is here.

control energy respect for the

consumption environment

CAREL has always developed and promoted evolved control systems, proposing innovative
solutions in the HVAC/R sector. These are our “high efficiency solutions”, a clear response for
environmental protection through optimised and integrated control systems, capable of
bringing significant energy savings and consequently reducing environmental impact.
These are new solutions for the market, yet the choices made are still in line with our
tradition: we have always invested in R&D, right since we first started business, and we
continued to do so despite the global recession.

These cutting-edge control solutions are now available, and their full potential is ready to
be exploited, to achieve an effective competitive advantage on the world scene and be
rewarded by the market.
Using CAREL “high efficiency solutions” today means doing something concrete to
contribute to protecting the environment. It means looking to the future with confidence.
Integrated solutions for high
efficiency units
Higher performance solutions for maximum seasonal
energy efficiency

With the European Energy Package, the EU has established targets to be met by 2020: 20%
reduction in carbon dioxide, a gas responsible for the greenhouse effect, 20% increase in
renewable sources, 20% increase in energy efficiency. The RES Directive (Renewable Energy
Sources) has defined binding national objectives for Member States.

Within this context, evaluation of the energy efficiency of air-conditioning and heating units
has evolved with the introduction of the Seasonal Performance Factor (SPF), which takes into
consideration different seasonal climatic conditions.
The new criteria for calculating efficiency require manufacturers to provide the average
seasonal performance coefficients for the units in specific reference conditions (Energy
Efficiency Ratio - EER): the factors that affect such calculations assume unit operation at part
load for a considerable amount of time. Integrated management of

loads and climatic conditions throughout the year. The added possibility of exploiting serial
communication to control smart actuators (pumps, fans...) represents a further step forwards
in the development of more reliable and efficient units.

th-Tune allows the user to make some
settings using the buttons and knob, such
as operating mode and time bands (with
on-board clock), as well as implement
other basic operations using parameters
programmed in 1tool.
The result is an extremely flexible solution
that adapts to different applications.
