Eurovent Task Force IT Cooling elects first Chair and Vice-Chair
BRUSSELS, Belgium, 17 April 2025: The Eurovent Task Force ‘IT Cooling’ (TF-ITC) has elected its first Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson for a two-year term. Making the announcement through a Press Release, Eurovent said Enrico Boscaro, Group Marketing Manager, CAREL, will serve as Chairperson, while Mario Scattolin, Global Compliance Director, Vertiv, will assume office as Vice-Chairperson.
According to Eurovent, Boscaro brings over 25 years of experience in the HVACR sector and has long been an active contributor to the organisation. In his new capacity, he will lead strategic initiatives to shape the future of data centre cooling across Europe, Eurovent added.
“The data centre industry is using a lot of energy, but from a global perspective it is providing technologies – from video conferencing to AI – that might result in global energy savings,” Boscaro said. “Nonetheless, the players in the data centre cooling marketplace have always been striving to achieve energy efficiency. New technologies and new EU regulations are creating new challenges, but I am sure this group, made up of exceptionally skilled professionals, is willing to lead the way for the entire HVAC to aim at continuous improvement, to guarantee the best sustainability both from the environmental and the economic point of view. I am honoured to be the Chairperson of this group and will do my best to collect everyone’s contribution together with Mario, to combine all the members’ knowledge and support the policymakers in this journey that will make our planet a better place.”
According to Eurovent, Scattolin is an expert in IT cooling, with experience spanning European and global markets. Speaking on the occasion of taking office, Scattolin said: “I am honoured and excited to serve as the Vice-Chairperson of the Task Force. In our increasingly interconnected world, the demand for computational power continues to grow exponentially. This growth parallels the critical need to address environmental impacts, climate change and the imperative need for decarbonisation.
“Our Task Force is at the forefront of providing any useful information for defining the regulatory framework that will govern IT cooling products in Europe. We are committed to ensuring that these technologies not only meet rigorous safety standards but also improve the competitiveness of the sector and strengthen European energy autonomy. As we face the complexities ahead, collaboration will be key. Together, we can harness innovation to create sustainable solutions that align with our environmental goals while supporting economic growth. I look forward to working alongside each of you to advance our shared mission.”
Eurovent said the new Task Force was launched in December 2024, with the aim of providing Eurovent members with insights into ongoing developments in the data centre cooling industry. Participation in the Task Force is open to all Eurovent members.
