As part of Xylem’s commitment to innovative hydronic solutions in the pursuit of decarbonization, at AHR Expo 2025, Bell & Gossett will demonstrate strategies and solutions to build an environmentally sustainable future, furthering its Building Better Futures platform. Key highlights at Booth 2543 will include additions to the industry-leading hydrovar® X-enabled portfolio, panel discussions with key industry experts and a Watermark hygiene kit build activation. In addition, Bell & Gossett will unveil its industry report, “Blueprint for Net Zero: Innovations Driving Decarbonization in the Built Environment,” launching at AHR Expo 2025.
Furthering industrywide dialogue on the trends and challenges facing the commercial building sector, the comprehensive report offers insights and partnerships essential to fostering resilient communities and achieving decarbonization. Featured contributions from industry leaders, manufacturer’s representatives and Xylem subject matter experts include American Institute of Architects, American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Building Owners and Managers Association, Fluid Industrial Associates, Green Building Initiative, Hydro-Flo Products, Inc. and Xylem Innovation Labs.
“With 2050 net-zero targets in sight, this year marks an important turning point for decarbonization. Large commercial buildings, which account for 60% of a city’s emissions on average, play a critical role in this journey,” said Susan O'Grady, senior director of marketing for commercial buildings services, Xylem. "Developed through extensive collaboration and research, our new report brings together industry thought leaders to highlight solutions and emerging trends that can guide us toward decarbonization goals. It serves as a call to action for everyone in the built environment, emphasizing the need for education and innovation to address today’s challenges and build a better future.”
