## Valerio Micali Featured in Elemental’s Spotlight on Holistic HVAC

We’re proud to share that **Valerio Micali**, Managing Director of **Daikin Applied (UK)**, was recently interviewed by **Elemental** as part of their *Spotlight on Holistic HVAC* series.

In the feature, Valerio discusses the key challenges and opportunities facing the HVAC sector — from F-Gas regulations and PFAS to the drive for heating decarbonisation and the quest for the ideal low-GWP refrigerant. He explains how Daikin’s unique in-house capabilities – from refrigerant development and compressor manufacturing to advanced controls and systems integration – put us at the forefront of innovation in both cooling and heating.

Valerio also touches on Daikin’s holistic approach to HVAC systems, combining **efficiency**, **smart control**, and **long-term sustainability**, with a growing focus on solutions tailored to data centres and industrial heating applications.
