Making the announcement through Press Release, CAREL said this systemic approach was aligned with European decarbonisation policies and the growing adoption of natural refrigerants. CAREL added that the approach was designed to support designers, OEMs and industry professionals in the transition towards more efficient and resilient buildings and systems.

CAREL said that key highlights included its solutions for next-generation heat pumps developed for residential, commercial and industrial applications. The company said its portfolio featured optimised controllers, ready-to-use application software, high-efficiency inverters and precision sensors. CAREL added that these were engineered to ensure high performance, safety and regulatory compliance even in complex and retrofit scenarios.

In the field of ventilation, CAREL said, it would present new cross-flow air-to-air heat exchangers. CAREL added that these were characterised by low pressure drops combined with high performance, reduced weight and a lower carbon footprint. The company said that these solutions had been developed to further enhance the competitiveness and performance of air handling units.

CAREL said significant focus would also be placed on automation, sensing and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) control solutions for buildings. The company said these were essential to meet the requirements of the new EPBD directive. The company added that its systems enabled measurable improvements in IAQ while optimising energy consumption. CAREL said this was demonstrated by real-life application cases and by integration with KIONA digital platforms for advanced system monitoring.

CAREL said MCE 2026 would mark a major milestone with the introduction of STone, which it described as a new future-ready software ecosystem for HVACR control programming. CAREL said STone Copilot, the AI-based assistant, supported unit development by making programming faster, more accurate and more accessible. The company added that the offering was completed by next-generation Smart Building monitoring and supervision solutions.

“Participation in MCE 2026 represents a key moment for CAREL to share with the market our vision of HVAC that is increasingly focused on integration, sustainability and value for design,” said Matteo Zanesco, Head of Solution Marketing, Western Europe Region, CAREL and Marco Galluppi, Head of Solution Marketing, EEMEA, CAREL. “Through advanced technological solutions, digital platforms and tools designed to simplify the work of designers and OEMs, we aim to support the entire value chain in delivering buildings that are more efficient, intelligent and capable of ensuring comfort, Indoor Air Quality and long-term energy performance.”
