YRK York International

YORK International Corporation (NYSE:YRK) is among a select group of organizations and the only HVAC&R company to receive a 2005 Climate Protection Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). YORK was recognized in an award presentation May 4 in Washington, DC, for its pioneering work and ongoing development of energy-saving technologies applied to chillers. YORK technology reduces chiller energy consumption typically by 15-25% annually. According to UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme), it is widely recognized that the indirect effect of electricity consumption is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions from chillers. Average annual energy savings of 20% mean a significant reduction in CO2 emissions, resulting in substantial climate protection. With its annual Climate Protection Awards, EPA "honors the extraordinary accomplishments of individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to protecting the environment," according to the agency's Web site. "In 1998, EPA established the Climate Protection Awards to recognize exceptional leadership, personal dedication, and technical achievements in protecting the Earth's climate." YORK International Corporation is a global provider of heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC&R) products and services. YORK is the largest independent supplier of HVAC&R equipment in the United States and a leading competitor in the industry internationally. The company's products are sold in more than 125 countries and YORK has approximately 23,800 employees worldwide.
