Copeland solution to address global efficiency and sustainability challenges

Expanding variable speed integrated solution portfolio, its new advanced climate control and energy management solution promises greater operational efficiency and reduced environmental impact for multiple applications.

According to the International Energy Agency, as of 2024, heat in buildings is responsible for 4 gigatonnes (Gt) of CO2 emissions annually, representing approximately 10 percent of total global emissions. Global demand in the data centre sector is expected to grow 2.5 times its current level by 2030, with consistent growth across all regions.  

This integrated solution drives enhanced efficiency, precise control, and sustainability across a wide range of heating and cooling applications — including energy storage, data centres, transportation, convenience stores and supermarkets — which are key in advancing the global energy transition.  Copeland went on a spree to expand its variable speed technology platform, integrating compressors, drives, and controllers for heating, cooling and refrigeration systems.

Copeland’s variable-speed integrated solution empowers customers to reduce system design costs, accelerate time to market, and achieve operational excellence. This solution positions businesses to meet evolving global sustainability demands by delivering cost savings and promoting environmental stewardship.  

Specifically designed for data centres, chillers, heat pumps, and energy storage applications, the 130cc variable-speed solution can achieve up to 30 percent energy savings*. It meets stringent regulatory standards while advancing sustainability initiatives, ensuring customers remain future-ready in an increasingly eco-conscious world.   

Michael Toh, president of the Asia-Pacific region for Copeland, said, “Operational efficiency, sustainability, and precise control are critical in meeting the global climate challenges of today and tomorrow. At Copeland, we are committed to innovation, providing our customers with comprehensive solutions that accelerate time to market and reduce system design costs while providing sustainable value to our customers. Our variable speed integrated solutions enable advanced energy efficiency with the flexibility to support multiple low-GWP refrigerants to support sustainability across applications.” 

Solutions for diverse applications 

Copeland’s variable-speed integrated solution delivers outstanding performance across f sectors, from green buildings and data centres to transportation applications. Copeland’s drive technology in data centres ensures a high power factor and low iTHD, enabling precise temperature and humidity control essential for uninterrupted hyperscaler operations. Its compact design is suited for transportation applications such as electric buses and trains, where space and efficiency are critical.  

Additionally, Copeland’s solutions accelerate the shift from fossil fuels to air-source heat pumps, delivering exceptional efficiency even in low ambient conditions through enhanced vapour injection technology. By incorporating low-GWP refrigerants like R-454B / R-290, Copeland underscores its commitment to sustainability and helping its customers minimize environmental impact.
