[ 08 ] Emerson 2008
Industry-leading innovation by Emerson Climate
Technologies is equally compelling. One of
the most important issues of our time – for
individuals, business owners and governments –
is the environment, particularly the responsible
use of energy. Emerson’s ability to pioneer
compressor technology over the years has led to
substantial increases in the efciency of global
residential and commercial air conditioning
systems. In North America, for example, resi-
dential systems are more than 60 percent more
efcient than they were two decades ago. These
improvements equate to the power generated
by 17 one-gigawatt power plants.
As we continue to drive forward, Emerson
Climate Technologies is partnering with refrig-
eration and air conditioning manufacturers to
phase out ozone-depleting, chlorine-based
refrigerants for new systems in the United States
by 2010. The latest generation of Copeland
Emersons industry
leadership provides a
strong foundation for
growth as use of new
refrigerants and efficiency
standards are mandated
around the world in
the coming years.
Residential systems are more than 
more efcient than they were two decades
ago. These improvements equate to the power
generated by  one-gigawatt power plants.
