可持續 HVAC 製造的 3 個注意事項
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,隨著氣候變遷和全球暖化的加劇,這些產品的受歡迎程度只會越來越高。此外,建築物中的空間供暖和水供暖的直接碳排放量在 2021 年達到歷史最高水平,導致 80% 建築業產生的排放量。這對於政府永續發展法規的形成發揮了重要作用,許多政府 實施化石燃料技術禁令 和 推動電氣化.
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 客戶比以往任何時候都更加活躍 尋找不僅節能而且對環境影響最小的 HVAC 設備,以及 44% 的消費者現在更有可能從明確致力於永續發展的品牌購買產品。因此,許多企業正在重新評估從緊固件採購到產品開發的整個生產流程。
以下是暖通空調製造的三個關鍵可持續性考量:
永續零件:冷成型工業緊固件
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 這是一種經過驗證的製造工藝,不僅可以生產特別耐用的零件,而且可以將浪費降至最低。
在 Optimas,o我們經驗豐富的冷成型緊固件製造商使用各種材料和飾面,以實現一定的阻力並優化任何 HVAC 製造應用的零件。此外,緊固件在近淨狀態下成型,避免了機器的過度使用和能源消耗。在 Optimas,將冷成型緊固件修整或刮削後剩餘的 89% 多餘材料進行回收,0% 則送往垃圾掩埋場。 在製造零件之前,原型製作產生的任何添加劑廢棄物也會被回收。
以下是一些範例 緊固件 我們為暖通空調製造生產,有多種材料和飾面:
- 大圓頭螺絲
- 重型六角螺母
- 自鑽螺絲
- 密封墊圈
- 馬車螺栓
永續採購:在岸和近岸外包
全球交通排放導致 17% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions,所以很多企業都在尋求 採購離家較近的緊固件 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.
在岸和近岸外包還可以幫助暖通空調製造商繞過常見的供應鏈問題,例如不可預見的海關和運輸費用以及過長的交貨時間。在 Optimas,我們不僅是唯一一家擁有 冷成型設施 大西洋兩岸,但我們都有配送設施 在全球範圍內,這意味著無論您身在何處,我們都可以幫助您在本地採購緊固件。
與永續緊固件分銷商合作
Whilst sourcing fasteners sustainably is key in achieving low carbon emissions, it's also crucial that HVAC manufacturers partner with a fastener supplier with 切實的永續發展目標. Here at Optimas, not only are we dedicated to helping our partners achieve their sustainability targets, but we're forging ahead with our own.
我們所有的英國設施均由再生能源供電,相當於我們全球能源消耗的 22%。另外,建立在我們的基礎上 ISO 14001 認證, 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.
