Efficient cooling technology as a contribution to a climate-friendly future
Cold and air conditioning systems consume about 16 percent of the total electric energy in Germany and pollute the air considerably. To reduce energy consumption in this area and to come closer to achieving the Federal Government’s climate protection objectives, the Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation, Building, and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) has been awarding the German Cooling Award since 2008. The award honours and promotes innovative and low-emission technologies. The Federal Environment Ministry organises the German Cooling Award 2016 as part of the National Climate Protection Initiative. The non-profit co2online GmbH takes on organisation of the competition jointly with the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Kälte.
