One of Danfoss’ proposals for the requirements was incorporated into the final directive: increase the number of inspections of heating and air-conditioning systems, in order to remove the most energy-consuming products from the market, while minimising the administrative strain put on member countries and occupants of buildings.
Furthermore, heat pumps and district heating have become central technologies in EU's ambition to obtain 20% renewable energy by 2020 – an area Danfoss is pleased to have seen progress.
In the US Danfoss has collaborated with other interest groups and political institutions in order to obtain consensus on the phasing out of HFC refrigerants. The result is a draft bill and a US proposal to include this phase out in the Montreal Protocol.
Danfoss is very interested and involved in energy and environmental politics and thus have arranged a series of symposia on this, and hosting forums where ideas on politics, technologies and energy-friendly solutions potentially can shape an energy-efficient industrial sector.
