Daikin to Speak at the COP30 Buildings and Cooling Pavilion

Globally, the buildings and construction sector accounts for approximately 37% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, making the decarbonization of buildings a key international priority. Achieving carbon neutrality in buildings requires significant reductions in GHG emissions associated with air conditioning systems. In particular, it is essential to reduce operational carbon—emissions generated during building operation and energy use—which represents the majority of a building’s whole life carbon.

Against this backdrop, the session will bring together representatives from GlobalABC, Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT), the UK Government, and the IEA to discuss the importance of reducing CO₂ emissions across the entire building lifecycle and the need to focus on minimizing operational carbon to accelerate global progress toward carbon neutrality in the building sector.

Daikin will present its energy-saving HVAC solutions that combine ventilation and air conditioning to significantly reduce operational carbon, as well as its heat pump heating and hot water technologies, while sharing ongoing initiatives to promote their wider adoption.

In addition to this session, Daikin is also scheduled to participate in the following programs held at the Buildings and Cooling Pavilion:

November 14: “Making Heat Pumps the New Normal for Clean Heating”
November 19: “Efficient Cooling and Ventilation for Comfort and Decarbonization”

Daikin will also join the seminar “Turning Avoided Emissions into Corporate Value -Paving the Way for Practical Action-” organized by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) at the Japan Pavilion on November 14.

Furthermore, at the Japan Pavilion, the company will exhibit its energy-saving HVAC solution that combines ventilation and air conditioning to prevent excessive cooling while achieving significant energy savings. (For details, see Daikin’s press release “Exhibiting at the COP30 Japan Pavilion.”)

Through its participation in COP30—including session presentations and exhibitions—Daikin aims to communicate its vision, technologies, and solutions for achieving carbon neutrality to policymakers and international organizations, helping to accelerate their adoption and contribute to the decarbonization of buildings.

As a global leader in the HVAC industry, Daikin remains committed to addressing global environmental and energy challenges and contributing to a more sustainable society.
