Efficiency by design
At Smardt, sustainability drives innovation. Our commitment to energy efficiency, oil-free magnetic bearing technology and environmental responsibility shapes every decision we make.
Sustainability Embedded in Everything We Do
Sustainability is built into how Smardt systems work. Oil-free operation, energy-efficient design and long equipment life help building owners cut energy use and reduce emissions over the life of the system.
Oil-free magnetic bearing compressors need no lubricants, reduce maintenance and hold their efficiency over time. We keep improving the lifetime efficiency of our products and developing products for refrigerants with a lower global warming potential.
Smardt’s Carbon Footprint
Smardt’s total GHG emissions were estimated at 7,542,412 tCO₂e in 2024. Over 99% of our emissions come from the use of our products, a figure consistent with those of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) industry.
The operational emissions from the sites we own or lease represent 6,222 tCO₂e – a small fraction of our total emissions. This is equivalent to 1,452 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles driven for one year.
While we have no control over the electricity that powers the units bought by our clients, we continuously strive to increase the life-time efficiency of our products, to develop products that work with refrigerant gases with a lower global warming potential (GWP), and to nudge our clients towards the most environmentally-friendly solution to their needs.
Emissions Summary (2024)
GHG Emissions Source Breakdown
Primary Emissions Split
Due to the high energy demand and prolonged lifetime of industrial chiller units, nearly all lifecycle emissions are scope 3 use-phase emissions.
*This inventory includes all TICA Smardt Holding entities. Financial control was selected as the consolidation approach. Activity data was used when available. Otherwise, emissions were estimated using the spend-based or average data approach.
