CAREL says it adopts a holistic system approach that unifies refrigeration, HVAC, lighting and energy within a single coordinated framework

BRUGINE, Italy, 5 February 2026:

CAREL said it will present what it describes as its tangible, measurable and results-oriented vision of sustainability at EuroShop 2026, focused on making energy efficiency a practical tool for generating value throughout the entire store. Making the announcement through a Press Release, CAREL said this approach goes beyond individual applications to encompass a system logic that brings refrigeration, HVAC, lighting and energy together into a single coordinated ecosystem.

CAREL said the heart of this proposal is the Total Store concept, which it highlights allows customers to optimise overall store performance through system integration and centralised data management. The company said that plug & play electrical panels, local control systems and advanced software platforms are used in combination to acquire, organise and analyse operational information, laying the foundation for continuous improvement in terms of energy and operational performance.

CAREL said tangible sustainability is also expressed through high-efficiency solutions for plug-in and semi-plug-in units that form part of the integrated HEOS Pro ecosystem. The company said this solution combines a dedicated controller, an intuitive interface configurable by app, enhanced connectivity and a chain of components designed to work in synergy. CAREL added that continuous capacity control, made possible by the integration of inverters and rotary compressors with permanent magnet motors, ensures that unit operation adapts dynamically to actual operating conditions, reducing energy consumption and improving temperature stability and acoustic comfort.

CAREL said the system is designed to handle natural refrigerants such as CO₂ and R-290 and added that it offers application flexibility and reduced environmental impact through a refrigerant-neutral approach that allows different technologies to be adopted without altering the basic architecture.

CAREL said the connectivity via Bluetooth, NFC and Ethernet enables rapid configuration, real-time diagnostics and integration with supervisory systems, which the company said simplifies installation, maintenance and software updates. CAREL said HEOS Pro therefore represents, in its view, not just a refrigeration solution but a high-efficiency ecosystem intended to turn sustainability into a tangible and measurable result directly in the store.

CAREL said a key role is also played by its Site Performance Optimisation services, which it said combine its specialist skills and artificial intelligence to remotely monitor and optimise hundreds of sites simultaneously. CAREL added that advanced data analytics can reduce energy consumption, limit alarms, prevent malfunctions and improve food preservation, with what the company described as measurable benefits even in the short term and a quick return on investment.

CAREL said that, with its proposal for Euroshop 2026, the company confirms its vision in which sustainability is not an abstract goal, but rather a tangible result achieved through technology, services and expertise that make energy a true asset for retail operators.
