Healthcare facilities are pivotal in developing healthy, resilient and sustainable communities. Since inventing modern air conditioning in the early 1900’s, Carrier has continued to create innovative solutions for the healthcare industry, from integrated HVAC system design and optimization, to controls and service.
Not only is a comprehensively designed HVAC system critical in healthcare environments where patients and staff are susceptible to airborne pollutants, but the prioritization for reducing emissions is also crucial in healthcare settings.
As your healthcare facility evolves with the ever-changing environment, turn to Carrier for customized solutions to help face all your challenges with confidence.
At Carrier, sustainability is driven with a focus on addressing climate change through accelerating decarbonization, especially in the U.S. where the industry is responsible for 8.5% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Carrier has set its sights on reducing our customers’ carbon footprint by over one gigaton by 2030. This initiative involves a tailored approach for commission and specifying HVAC equipment, and providing assessment services based on each customers’ sustainability, operational and budgetary goals. By engaging with customers at various stages of the product lifecycle and capital planning process, Carrier offers expertise and solutions that aim to design, enable and deliver improved sustainability.
Carrier supports healthcare facilities’ decarbonization requirements by offering HVAC solutions that produce useful heat without burning fossil fuels on-site. We are innovating solutions and services that enable our customers to achieve their sustainability goals, and we are continuously incorporating sustainable practices within our products and operations.
