Heat pumps create cool retreat for Chester Zoo’s snow leopards

Mitsubishi Electric air-to-air heat pumps are now providing cooling to the critically endangered snow leopards at Chester Zoo, supporting their comfort while also helping the zoo reduce energy use across its estate.
The project forms part of Chester Zoo’s wider partnership with Mitsubishi Electric to reduce carbon emissions across the 128-acre site, which has committed to becoming net zero in scope one and two emissions by 2030.
