可持续暖通空调制造的 3 个注意事项

Sustainability is at the forefront of many manufacturers' minds, but particularly for those in the HVAC industry. The cooling equipment sector of the HVAC market contributed 10% of the world's energy consumption 而且，随着气候变化和全球变暖的加剧，这些产品的受欢迎程度只会越来越高。此外，2021 年，建筑物空间和水加热产生的直接碳排放量达到历史最高水平，导致 建筑行业产生的排放量为 80%这对政府可持续发展法规的制定起到了重要作用，许多政府 实施化石燃料技术禁令 和 推动电气化. 

So, while HVAC manufacturers are expected to ramp up their product output to meet demand, they're also expected to revolutionise their products to meet emissions targets. Some experts have suggested 客户比以往任何时候都更加活跃 寻找不仅节能而且对环境影响最小的暖通空调设备，以及 44% 的消费者现在更有可能购买明确致力于可持续发展的品牌的产品。因此，许多企业正在重新评估其整个生产流程，从紧固件采购到产品开发。 

以下是 HVAC 制造的三个关键可持续性考虑因素： 

可持续部件：冷弯工业紧固件 

With fasteners making up nearly 50% of a product's parts, it's crucial manufacturers prioritise using parts that have been produced using sustainable manufacturing processes. 冷成型 是一种久经考验的制造工艺，不仅可以生产出特别耐用的零件，而且浪费也很少。  

在 Optimas，o我们经验丰富的冷成型紧固件制造商使用各种材料和表面处理来实现一定的阻力，并针对任何 HVAC 制造应用优化零件。此外，紧固件在近净状态下成型，避免过度使用机器和能源消耗。在 Optimas，修剪或刮削冷成型紧固件后剩余的 89% 多余材料将被回收，0% 将被送往垃圾填埋场。 在零件制造出来之前，原型制作产生的任何添加废料也会被回收。 

以下是一些例子 紧固件 我们为 HVAC 制造生产，采用多种材质和饰面： 

• 扁圆头螺钉 
• 重型六角螺母 
• 自钻螺钉  
• 密封垫圈  
• 马车螺栓  

可持续采购：在岸和近岸外包 

全球交通运输排放导致 17% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions，因此许多企业都希望 采购离家较近的紧固件 to reduce their carbon footprint. Onshoring is the practice of sourcing fasteners from one's home country, while nearshoring is the practice of sourcing parts nearby, e.g. from a neighbouring country. Evidently sourcing parts more locally requires significantly less transportation, resulting in improved emissions rates.  

在岸和近岸外包还可以帮助 HVAC 制造商规避常见的供应链问题，例如不可预见的海关和运输费用以及漫长的交货时间。在 Optimas，我们不仅是唯一一家拥有 冷成型设备 大西洋两岸都有，但我们有配送设施 在全球范围内，这意味着无论您身在何处，我们都可以帮助您在当地采购紧固件。 

与可持续紧固件分销商合作 

Whilst sourcing fasteners sustainably is key in achieving low carbon emissions, it's also crucial that HVAC manufacturers partner with a fastener supplier with 切实的可持续发展目标. Here at Optimas, not only are we dedicated to helping our partners achieve their sustainability targets, but we're forging ahead with our own. 

我们在英国的所有设施均采用可再生能源，相当于我们全球能源消耗的 22%。此外，在我们 ISO 14001 认证, we've developed a clear sustainability roadmap for our global facilities, with a target of 70% powered by renewables by the end of 2025. 

It's clear, then, to achieve truly low carbon emissions HVAC manufacturers have to look beyond their products to their production processes, prioritising using sustainable fasteners, from a local, reliable and eco-friendly distributor.
