Innovation and Sustainability Under the HACKS Project Guidelines

HACKS Project Overview

The HACKS (Heating And Cooling Knowhow and Solutions) project is funded by the EU Horizon 2020 research and innovation program. This project brings together partners from 17 countries, including energy experts, environmental NGOs, and consumer organizations. Its goal is to share experiences, achieve critical scale, and improve market transparency and energy efficiency by offering the most efficient product options.

The HACKS project emphasizes the importance of establishing and adhering to technical standards. Some key technical standards include:

1. Energy Efficiency Ratings: Products must meet certain energy efficiency levels to comply with market demands and regulatory requirements.
2. Eco-Friendly Refrigerants: Use of low GWP (Global Warming Potential) refrigerants to reduce environmental impact.
3. Refrigeration Performance Testing: Strict performance testing standards to ensure product reliability and efficiency under various conditions.
4. Safety Standards: Standards covering electrical, mechanical, and environmental safety to ensure product safety during use.
