FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  
"Working For A Better World ... Inside And Out"
As the world leader in heating, ventilation and air conditioning, Carrier is
committed to continually improving the quality of comfort we provide to our
customers.
But our level of responsibility extends well beyond...
Carrier Corporation has identified six specific areas of concentration which
directly impact how we, as a world manufacturer, balance our customers' needs
for comfort with the environment's needs for responsible consumption. Each
area is described below.
Each one of us at Carrier Corporation believes that, for generations to come,
success will be measured not only by the quality of our products and systems,
but also by how we have improved the quality of life.
- Refrigerant
- To help alleviate concerns about stratospheric ozone depletion caused by the release of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) refrigerants, Carrier North American Operations will focus its future product development efforts on products that use chlorine-free refrigerants.
- Air Distribution
- With the increasing interest in proper ventilation relative to thermal
comfort, Carrier will focus its products to provide superior ventilation
systems.
- Product Efficiency
- The business of living demands that we conserve energy. Given that reality,
conserving energy efficiently and reducing consumption whenever possible is the
only responsible approach. Carrier products enable our customers to reduce
energy consumption while maintaining optimum comfort levels.
- Indoor Air Quality
- Air quality is a vital issue, particularly as conditioned spaces are built tighter to conserve energy. Carrier will provide the best in products to help
spaces breathe, remove pollutants and uphold the highest possible air quality
standards.
- Product Size/Material Reduction
- As equipment is replaced to improve efficiency and in our move away from CFC
refrigerants, equipment size will be a factor. Carrier's focus is on smaller
size products which in turn have built-in storage, easily fit into existing
buildings, take up less space, require less packaging and use fewer raw
materials.
- Sound
- Though often overlooked, another aspect of the natural environment that is
well worth preserving is quiet. Carrier's aero-acoustics and vibration
specialists are dedicated to pursuing new materials and designs that will make
our products -- already the quietest in their respective classes -- just that
much quieter.
