Green Cooling Initiative -
TYPO3 website for climate friendly cooling solutions

The refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) sector is a massive cause of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, which is largely due to the low energy efficiency of the devices and the high global warming potential of the refrigerants used.

The Green Cooling Initiative of the German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ) promotes the provision of climate-friendly and energy-efficient cooling solutions.
We have been looking after the portal since 2017, and in 2020 we were awarded the contract to relaunch, streamline and expand the functionality of the site.

• In preparatory workshops, the topic area was first illuminated, the target groups defined and prioritized, and a basic concept developed on this basis.
• As one of the key players in the field of green cooling, the initiative presents the topic in a clear and professional manner and thus offers a contact point for international experts as well as other interested users.
• In the form of wireframes, the most important pages, functions and content elements were coordinated and optimized with the client team.
• The wireframes were used to create an inital click dummy that allowed for initial testing early in the project.
• From the designed content elements, central pages and functions of the websites were built up as a proof-of-concept and later created as templates for the editorial team in TYPO3.
