Eurovent Certification Highlights Cooling Data at Italy HVACR Events

Eurovent Certification participated in Mostra Convegno Expocomfort 2026 and the 54th AiCARR International Congress, held alongside the trade show in Italy. The Eurovent family, including Eurovent Certification, Eurovent Association, Eurovent Market Intelligence and ProdBIM, was present at the event in Hall 11, Booth E12.

Eurovent Certification contributed to the AiCARR congress programme with a workshop titled “Bridging High Temperature Cooling, Verified Refrigeration Performance, and EU Sustainability Compliance: A Cross Sector Scientific Workshop on Data Centres and Cold Chain Systems.” The session took place on 25 March and included three case studies on chillers, IT cooling and refrigeration.

Francesco Di Giovanni from Daikin Applied Europe presented a case study on warm water cooling in next-generation data centres, focusing on certified Very High Temperature chillers and certified IT Cooling Units. 

Dario Demurtas from LUVE presented results from Eurovent Certification’s heat exchanger simulation and testing campaign, which found performance gaps of up to 30% in non-certified market units and potential energy penalties exceeding 650,000 kWh over 15 years in a supermarket refrigeration profile.

Alejandro Fernandez De Mera, Sustainability Director at Eurovent Certification, introduced the organisation’s new Sustainability Department, officially launched at MCE. His case study addressed data centre compliance aligned with EPBD, EED and CSRD requirements, including certified performance data, harmonised digital product records and embodied-carbon tools.

Research Engineer Zohreh Kiani also presented “Decarbonising Our Future: Energy, Economic and Social Aspects of Smarter and Digitalised Buildings and Cities,” covering work on the IAQ-energy trade-off of window operation in residential buildings and comparing Single-Flow and Balanced Ventilation systems across three European climates.
