Four industry experts join the Journal podcast to discuss the challenges of reducing operational and embodied carbon in building cooling systems.
Space cooling accounted for nearly 16% of the global building sector’s electricity consumption in 2020 according to the International Energy Agency.
Global demand for space cooling and the energy needed to provide it will continue to grow for decades to come, with the demand for cooling expected to triple by 2050.
This podcast, sponsored by Daikin, discusses the challenges of decarbonising cooling across a building’s lifetime with four expert guests discussing how best to reduce both operational and embodied carbon.
Subjects tackled include training, embodied carbon calculations, and the role of digital twins in managing building data.
The panel concludes that engineers must also consider occupant comfort and flexibility in building design to reduce the requirement for cooling.
The guests on the podcast, chaired by CIBSE Journal editor Alex Smith, are:
Carl Collins, head of digital engineering at CIBSE
Matteo Dall’Ombra, product commercial Daikin UK
Clara Bagenal George, an associate at Introba
Andrew Mitchell, head of sustainability operations director at Mace

Podcast: The benefits of distributed pumping in HVAC applications
In this podcast, sponsored by Grundfos Pumps, we discuss the benefits of distributed pumping in HVAC applications.
Danny Staerk and Glenn Miller look at how this approach helps save energy, simplifies balancing and reduces commissioning time.
The Grundfos distributed pumping solution distributes chilled water in HVAC applications without the need for pressure-regulating valves.
Staerk and Miller explain how savings of up to 54% in pump energy can be achieved by replacing throttling valves with intelligent pumps in HVAC retrofits.
They explain how intelligent pumps perform to the exact building load meaning there is no need for balancing or rebalancing through the building's lifetime and discuss how data available from the pumps offers insights into building performance that are not possible with valves.
Guests in the podcast, chaired by CIBSE Journal editor Alex Smith, are:
Glenn Miller, product and solutions manager at Grundfos Pumps who joined the company in 2005. He has a strong electro-mechanical background and extensive experience of delivering solutions to the commercial building services industry.
Danny Staerk, leads solutions manager for HVAC and CBS Systems at Grundfos Pumps. He joined Grundfos as controls product manager having previously worked supporting wind power management SCADA systems.
