Daikin's sponsorship of the venue for BBC Earth Experience
The Daikin Centre was home to BBC Earth Experience, an epic immersive experience.
BBC Earth Experience moves to Australia
The BBC Earth Experience closed its doors in the UK on 1 February 2024.
Daikin’s sponsorship of the venue has enabled hundreds of thousands of people to experience the event. We have also seen tens of thousands of visits to the Daikin Climate Zone, helping people discover how heat pumps offer a low-cost, low-carbon solution to home heating.
The BBC Earth Experience will continue to run in its new location in Melbourne, Australia.
Further information about the closure can be found on the BBC Earth Experience’s website.
What was the BBC Earth Experience?
BBC Earth Experience was a ground-breaking attraction offering visitors the chance to experience the extraordinary diversity of our seven unique continents, on the most epic scale featuring bespoke narration from David Attenborough. BBC Earth Experience showcased footage, including extended scenes to fully immerse the visitor, and music from the BBC Studios Natural History Unit television series Seven Worlds, One Planet, projected on multiple multi-angle screens using the very latest digital screen technology. This unique London attraction offered a truly transformative experience that allowed audiences to feel as though they had stepped into the natural world.

How can I reduce my carbon footprint?
Every single person can make a difference. Even the smallest steps matter when we all work together.
Here are the top ten carbon-cutting measures you can take to reduce your personal impact on the planet.
Meeting our responsibility to the planet
In order to meet the UK’s target of net zero by 2050, switching to sustainable energy is critical. That’s why Daikin is leading a heating revolution to help people reduce their carbon footprint.
Daikin is committed to providing homes, businesses and industries with the most efficient and safe solutions to meet all of our cooling and heating needs, today and in the future.
Quite simply, our products help people reduce their carbon footprint and their personal impact on the environment. Together we can be part of the climate solution.
Daikin’s steps towards a carbon-neutral future
Daikin recognises that we have a major social responsibility to the natural environment.
We have made it our challenge to achieve carbon neutrality.
- Carbon neutral at every step
- Reducing electricity consumption
- Pioneering improved refrigerants
- Leading the heat-pump revolution
1. Carbon neutral at every step
We aim to achieve a carbon-neutral society across our entire value chain. This covers not only product development and production, but also the impact of our product use. And also what happens to our systems at the end of life.
2. Reducing electricity consumption
Alongside minimising CO2 emissions from our business operations, we’re focusing on reducing electricity consumption during usage. We’re making it our mission to lead the industry towards a greener future.
3. Pioneering improved refrigerants
We’re working hard to mitigate the impact of refrigerants, by pioneering the use of improved refrigerants and developing next generation solutions to reduce global warming even further. We’re also recycling refrigerants currently in use.
4. Leading the heat-pump revolution
Daikin is fully behind the decarbonisation of the heating market. We’re investing heavily to promote the transition from combustion heating to heat pumps that use heat in the air. To put it simply, heat pumps are the future of heating.
The Daikin Climate Zone gave visitors the opportunity to discover how they can reduce their carbon footprint and find out more about how sustainable air source heat pumps can help through a range of interactive digital tools and videos.
The Daikin Climate Zone is now on the road, travelling to exhibitions and venues across the UK, spreading the word about the benefits of low-carbon heating.
