In the coming years the stock of Air Conditioning (A/C) equipment in use in Europe will partly become obsolete. Most systems will be renovated for the first time (after 10-15 years of operation) and an opportunity exists to introduce higher efficiency systems. Out of the 1.974 Mm2 of air conditioned building area in use in 2010 in Europe, 800 Mm2 will date by more than 15 years and will need urgent renewal. A SAVE Study (EECCAC) had the result, that there is energy saving of about 35 %. That means: A/C – Systems are able to operate with about 35 % less energy.
The core aims of the AUDITAC project are to provide tools and information that will enable air-conditioning system Inspectors, Auditors, Owners and Operators across Europe to confidently identify actions that will save them money, and reduce the emissions of green house gases.
