Danfoss has decided to make its contribution by lowering the temperature at locations across Europe in a range of 3 to 4 degrees Celsius. The locations include factories, warehouses, and offices in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the UK, Slovenia, Slovakia, France, Italy, and Germany. Danfoss is taking this initiative with the intention to draw the fewest possible resources from the local networks and grids.
“Even though lowering the temperature at our sites won’t solve the energy crisis, we want to highlight to everyone the importance of using the scarce resources as efficiently as possible in the coming winter. Many public sector buildings across Europe are turning down the heat, and we want to follow suit. This is a small action, but it could have a great impact if we all reduce energy demand,” says Kjell Strøm, Regional President for Danfoss North Europe.
“It’s always safety first at Danfoss and our priority is to safeguard the health of our employees, our families, and our communities. Therefore, the specific measures are agreed locally. As an example, in Denmark this means aiming for heating to 18 degrees in our factories and warehouses, and 20 degrees in our offices,” says Kjell Strøm.
By lowering the heating by 3 to 4 degrees Celsius, employees can go to work safely and comfortably, while simultaneously contributing to saving energy."Danfoss is headquartered in Denmark, and we have calculated that by lowering the temperature in Denmark alone, we will save the equivalent of heating up to 100 households. The figure will naturally be larger when you include all our locations across Northern Europe,” Kjell Strøm.
