Copeland to Showcase Its Award-Winning Technologies at 2026 AHR Expo

ST. LOUIS (Jan. 26, 2026) - Copeland, a global leader in compression technologies and controls solutions, announced its participation in the 2026 AHR Expo, which will take place Feb. 2-4 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Copeland will showcase numerous technologies across commercial and industrial, residential and cold chain applications, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability in heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR).

The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects that achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 will require annual clean-energy investments to more than triple by 2030, reaching an estimated $4 trillion worldwide. As climate policies, regulations and international agreements continue to mature, the HVACR industry stands at a defining inflection point. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), wholesalers and end users are increasingly expected to deploy sustainable, high-performance technologies that meet evolving standards. This transition extends well beyond regulatory obligations - it is central to advancing global net-zero objectives and enhancing long-term energy resilience.

Copeland's presence at the AHR Expo will highlight its latest technologies and solutions designed to help customers manage energy use and sustainability-related initiatives. From solutions that help to reduce carbon emissions through electrified heating to advanced refrigerant-optimized systems with lower global warming potential (GWP), Copeland will demonstrate its focus on innovation, showcasing efficient and reliable technologies that support the energy and refrigerant transition and the protection of perishable goods.

At the AHR Expo, Copeland will exhibit its compression technologies and controls solutions in the following areas:

• Electrification of heating: A suite of innovative solutions optimized for air-to-air systems leveraging Copeland's enhanced vapor injection (EVI) technology.
• Next-generation, variable-capacity technology: Copeland's new KF compressor platform features industry-first technologies to provide applied value to system designers.
• Data center cooling solutions: Technologies designed to meet the growing demand for energy-efficient cooling in data centers.
• Lower-GWP refrigerant solutions for CO2, R-290 and A2Ls: Copeland will highlight its portfolio of low-GWP and natural solutions, including integrated CO2 systems, R-290 (propane) solutions and A2L refrigerants, which support customers in achieving regulatory compliance and sustainability objectives.
• Food retail and connected controls: Holistic food retail solutions, including compression, individual case-level solutions, facility-level controllers and multi-store controls. The fully connected ecosystem offers deep insights and controls to drive energy efficiency, compliance and profitability.

Two of Copeland's AHR Innovation Award-winning products will also be on display at the show, including the transcritical CO2 scroll compressor with dynamic vapor injection (DVI) technology, which won in the refrigeration category, and the heating-optimized modulating vapor injection portfolio, which won in the heating category. Both products support the energy and refrigerant transition across heating, cooling and refrigeration applications.

Additionally, Copeland's industry experts will participate in several informative sessions during the AHR Expo, providing attendees with valuable insights into emerging technologies:
