Daikin: push for net zero will drive retrofit and refurb

The biggest business opportunity and social responsibility for our industry is the enormous programme of potential work to retrofit buildings for net zero, writes Paul Harris, National AHU Sales Manager at Daikin Applied UK.
The built environment is the UK’s second highest carbon emitter behind road transport. It accounts for 17% of the country’s total and to keep the UK on track for net zero by 2050 the sector needs to reduce emissions by 43% (33 MtCO2e) by the end of this decade.  That is a steep target.
