Decarbonisation is not only to achieve sustainability goals
Decarbonising commercial buildings is crucial for meeting environmental commitments and regulations. It is also a strategic opportunity to enhance brand reputation and fulfil corporate social responsibility goals. Our award-winning R290 refrigerant heat pumps and system-wide solutions can play a role in reducing the carbon footprint and energy costs of your commercial building.
However, it is not only about having great products, taking a holistic view of project goals means that an expert team is well prepared to discuss tailored, energy-efficient heating and cooling solutions to accelerate the decarbonisation journey.

Why SwegonOur decarbonisation solution
Sustainable heating solutions
What can be the solution? Heating products with ultra-low GWP R290 refrigerant, designed for sustainable heating solutions and carefully customised to adapt to customer specific requirements.
Data-driven decisions
Swegon supports the process with advanced calculation tools that evaluate the total environmental impact. Analysis of the factors such as embodied carbon and energy consumption is completed to make sustainable decisions made easier.
Partner with technical experts
A proactive and collaborative approach throughout the end-to-end process. Together, tailored solutions are created that meet customer specific needs.
Experienced local support
Swegon has local networks of experts committed to supporting customers in many parts of the world. Our service teams ensure timely support and allow customers to leverage digital solutions to take a long term perspective on system optimisation.
Award winning heating products
We design comprehensive hydronic solutions that not only features award-winning heat pumps, but also optimises the entire building’s heating and cooling solution in order to reduce emissions and drastically lower the carbon footprint. This is especially critical for retail spaces where maintaining comfortable climate control is essential, while simultaneously adhering to stringent sustainability standards.
Units such as OMICRON Zero from Swegon, take this commitment further by utilising R290 (propane), a highly sustainable refrigerant choice. With a low Global Warming Potential (GWP), R290 minimises environmental impact while delivering superior efficiency. By integrating R290 into our heat pumps and designing holistic solutions, Swegon ensures that the building not only achieves net zero emissions, but also supports a greener future.
Why refrigerant R290?
How energy and economics go together
The environmental and economic benefits of decarbonising buildings can be substantial. Much depends on the existing indoor climate solution, the energy supply mix and the energy price. It is not unrealistic to expect a 60% decarbonisation if going from a natural gas boiler to a well-optimised heat pump solution.
Additionally, by reducing dependency on natural gas and other volatile energy sources, not only will environmental benefits be achieved but also a more stable financial return.
Swegon offers tools and expertise to help calculate the potential carbon savings, providing a clear picture of how sustainable heating can benefit both the bottom line and the environmental footprint.

An end-to-end partner
Partnering with us at Swegon means working with technical experts who take a whole-system approach to HVAC. We go beyond providing heat pumps, we integrate a full range of products, systems and services to optimise the entire hydronic system, from design and delivery to ongoing service and optimisation.
The proactive, collaborative approach allows us to create tailored solutions that meet a building’s unique needs and by combining products we unlock additional energy savings and operational efficiencies.
Our expert shares five things worth knowing about decarbonising retail stores
A decarbonisation success
One of the UK’s leading retailers recently partnered with us at Swegon to implement a cutting-edge decarbonisation strategy across their stores. By replacing traditional gas boiler systems with advanced R290 heat pumps from our Bluebox range, they were able to achieve a significant reduction in carbon emissions—around 65%—and improve energy efficiency across their portfolio.
The success of this initiative underscores the impact that strategic investments in sustainable technology can have on the environmental impact.
