Eurovent works in a collegial and
democratic way – each association is
placed on the same level as the others.
In this period of great legislative activity
at European level, the Association works
because, together with the development
of solutions that provide better comfort,
there is also constant research for
intelligent use of energy.
Eurovent pushes these views within the
European Commission, working actively
in the drafting of the main directives
and regulations on energy efficiency
in buildings, reducing environmental
impact and total life cycle of plants.
In 1995 Eurovent founded certification
programmes in Europe for the air condi-
tioning industry in order to contribute to
the improvement of HVAC products.
Today Eurovent certified performance is
recognised as an authoritative certificate
in the market, not only in Europe but also
worldwide, together with the American
AHRI Association. Certification of
performance helps end users to choose
more efficient solutions, contributing to
market development and providing a
platform for user evaluations.
