Sustainable Business – Daikin360

Learn more about our sustainable service program, part of our roadmap to reducing environmental impact through circular economy principles, energy assessments, and IAQ audits.

Our approach

Daikin demonstrates how the HVAC industry can take action and offer customers a sustainable choice for their heating and cooling systems. We have established a sustainable service program as part of our roadmap to achieving our own Environmental Vision 2050.

It aims to reduce the environmental footprint of all concerned parties while striving to reduce CO2 emissions to near zero. In order to achieve this, a circular economy, innovation, and smart use are the stepping-stones on Daikin's path.

The program is a perfect example of customers helping to set up a circular economy, leveraging the entire Daikin ecosystem and its business partners across Europe.

How can our services meet your needs?

  • Saving resources

    Our strategy, first and foremost, is to take back refrigerants and give them a new life in existing machines or through service, effectively reducing the need to produce new refrigerants.

  • Customized solutions

    By taking back your equipment through our partners, we ensure that your old appliances are recycled in the most sustainable way possible.

  • Customer oriented

    When refrigerant recovery is required, our specialized team provides on-site support to ensure proper handling and cost-effective regeneration of all usable refrigerants.

  • Environmental commitment

    Our approach is grounded in sustainable practices that minimize waste and maximize resource efficiency. This reflects our ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility and our dedication to reducing our footprint.

Loop by Daikin

Since 2019, Daikin has offered products under the L∞P by Daikin circular economy initiative—a line that incorporates reclaimed refrigerant to promote sustainable practices.

By choosing a L∞P by Daikin product, you actively support refrigerant reuse and help reduce environmental impact.

The program is designed to be flexible, with tailored solutions that meet your specific needs.

Old appliance recycling

Turn waste into value by recovering materials and reusing them in new equipment, strengthening circular material flows.

This on-demand service enables the collection and recycling of old appliances. Through our trusted partner network, we offer broad coverage and a reliable solution for responsibly handling your outdated systems.

Benefits

  • Sustainable operation

    Proper refrigerant management helps prevent environmental pollution and reduces long-term impacts such as global warming and ozone depletion.

  • Cost savings

    Daikin has invested in making this service free and easy to access, with clear points of contact. As a result, you can run your operations more efficiently and reduce overall costs.

  • Safety and peace of mind

    We actively work to mitigate potential hazards, ensuring your peace of mind. Our support helps reduce bottlenecks, allowing your staff to focus on daily tasks instead of managing environmental issues.

Energy and IAQ Audits

Thorough strategic planning is the key to achieving energy excellence. Our team of trusted experts will analyze the vital aspects of your installation, including energy use and equipment performance, to provide a 360° view of your HVAC system. These insights help estimate system lifespan, uncover potential issues, and identify maintenance, replacements, or upgrades that can optimize energy use.

Where applicable, we also support you in qualifying for local utility incentives, complying with regional energy regulations, and understanding energy use intensity (EUI) and benchmarking requirements.

In short, partnering with our experts can help reduce utility costs, improve indoor air quality (IAQ), and unlock financial opportunities to support your energy and carbon reduction goals.

Your HVAC system is one of the largest energy consumers in your building, typically accounting for around 40% of the total energy use. Without proper management, energy costs can drive up annual operational expenses by as much as 20%. The Daikin service team can help you identify savings potential through in-depth utility analysis and provide tailored recommendations to reduce consumption and lower your costs.

Our energy audit offerings

When you choose Daikin to assess your installation, you benefit from decades of HVAC expertise. Together, we’ll identify the right solutions to improve energy efficiency and manage operating costs effectively.

Every project starts with a thorough understanding of your specific needs, ensuring our recommendations align with your objectives.

Energy audit

Based on your specific needs, the Daikin Service team can support you in developing energy audit plans, ranging from preliminary assessments to detailed evaluations. These audits offer a deeper understanding of your building’s energy consumption and help identify opportunities for savings.

We typically begin with a Level 1 walkthrough audit to assess the HVAC systems on site. If needed, additional audit levels may be performed to provide further analysis and confirm initial findings. Each level is designed to match your project scope:

  • Level 1: Desktop analysis and benchmarking against industry standards, with estimated savings potential
  • Level 2: Detailed analysis of energy use and identification of specific efficiency improvements
  • Level 3: In-depth evaluation of energy-saving options, tailored to your building and operations

Following the audit, we recommend and implement a customized solution based on your objectives and site conditions.

Energy inspection

Daikin’s energy inspection service is fully aligned with the requirements of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), helping ensure your building meets high standards for energy efficiency. Our experts carry out a comprehensive assessment of your HVAC systems and other energy-consuming components, identifying inefficiencies and recommending areas for improvement.

Operational data assessment

Using data collected through our remote monitoring platforms, Daikin experts can assess the real-time performance of your HVAC systems. This assessment is especially valuable in the early years after installation, helping you fine-tune your system to meet your specific needs. It’s equally useful for older equipment, providing insights into whether an upgrade or replacement could result in significant energy savings.

For Daikin units, the assessment is highly detailed, as we capture all key operational parameters from your installation. For non-Daikin systems, we offer a high-level assessment by installing energy meters for a set period to gather relevant performance data.

With Daikin, you can be confident in achieving a sustainable, energy-efficient operation that supports both regulatory compliance and environmental goals.
